Well this bill doesn't allocate anything for the purchase of or the construction of a barrier on eminent domain. Do you have any specifics on how much of the Texas border is private land or eminent domain?
I wonder if they can buy easements with the money? The private landowner still owns the land but sells a right to the Federal Government to build and maintain a border wall across it.

Edit: Looks like 90% of the Texas border is private land. So I can't imagine this bill doing much to build any kind of barrier...
When you buy a house you have to give up the space and fund and maintain the side walk. A border should never be private.

Yeah the bill is shit. Surprise! But I don't know how eminent domain works. Maybe only the feds can take someone's land like that.
