Why not hold the fuggin BORDER?
[quote]If you are going to the time, trouble and expense you propose in this insane thread, why not just put the efforts on the damn border?
Because it's impossible to build a border wall the length of the actual border. The freaking imminent domain lawsuits alone will last for years. Most of it is in remote ass places we cannot get to easily...The changing politicians will never ever let it happen..The Environmental Protection groups will never let it happen....The ranchers in the Rio Grande Valley needing access to the water will never let it happen...The list goes on and on...It is a pipe dream man. It would take decades to get it done. Every kind of lawsuit people can think of to stop it from happening...
If a wall is built on the border, most of it would be constructed on the Roosevelt Easement (google it). Putting it on I-10 would require way more condemnation of private and state-owned land.
Would it be easier access for equipment to build and maintain a wall on I10 instead of the actual border? Obviously, yes...
Would it be easier to control, monitor, etc...Obviously, yes...
Would their be Eminant domain issues? No...The FEDs/ States already own the Interstate and highways and land near them...
