ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

I bet there is some clause, statute, ammendment, back door, loop hole, that some slimy piece of hammered snakeshit lawyer/public servant slipped in there to manipulate/bypass/gain the system for personal needs.

Paralleling roughly 700 miles of the 1,954-mile U.S.-Mexico border, a 60-foot-wide swath of land has for more than a century been a kind of Maginot Line for U.S. border security.

Climbing out of the Pacific Ocean, the Roosevelt Reservation runs eastward along the border until the Rio Grande marks the international boundary. Controlled by the federal government, the easement buffers the U.S.-Mexico border as it cuts through high-desert peaks, cactus-choked valleys and sand dunes.

Today, green-and-white Border Patrol trucks often can be seen traversing the dirt strip, on the lookout for smugglers and other border crossers. The easement, established in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt to thwart smugglers who wanted to avoid duties on goods, gives the federal government access to the border, which has left much of California, Arizona and New Mexico with fencing of one kind or another.

East of the Roosevelt Reservation, building a wall poses a logistical challenge because ownership becomes murky. Although the federal government is the nation’s single largest property owner along the southwest border, most of the land belongs to state governments or private owners.

As usual, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. God-damned Gateway Pundit would have been better than that crap that you linked. The saddest thing is that some small percentage of the mentally-impaired are going to believe your nonsense.

The land where this fencing was built has been publicly owned since 1907 when President Theodore Roosevelt reserved a 60-foot strip along the international boundary with Mexico for the United States to maintain the area free from obstructions as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico. In effect, the Roosevelt easement provided the federal government with a 60-foot border right-of-way on which it could build the fence.

No, the truly saddest thing is that the entire lot of liberal/progressives like yourself, believe all the baffling bamboozling bullshite that The Democrats and MSM program in to that dusty arse hat rack between your shoulders and you take it as true no matter knowing they are incorrect, back 100%.

Also, upon further research earlier today, it appears to only apply to public land (state, federal, Indian) and not private land.

Why even get an easement on public land? Most easements I am familiar with are primarily for private property.

Your contention is that landowners in Texas are going to be blocking the wall? K...
