TX Trump voter learns about plans for "the wall"..."I never thought they'd go through a subdivision"
She is thinking about it a lot more now that plans call for part of what could be a 30-foot-tall stretch of wall to land in her backyard, dividing the River Bend Resort and Golf Club, which hugs the Rio Grande. About 70 percent of the community — some 200 properties — would be stranded south of the barricade but north of the river. Fifteen holes of the golf course could be there, too.
An unsettling lesson in unexpected consequences has left some residents rethinking their support for the wall and the president who has made it his signature project.
“I never thought they’d go through a subdivision,” said Ms. Menard, a former Houston schoolteacher who said she had been shaken since she was notified in June of plans to build the wall next year. “My blood pressure has not been normal since I got that letter.”

Don't worry. You'll get used to having your view blocked and being walled off from peaceful neighbor-nations.
I'm sure the East Berliners did too. It was all for the greater good, after all, and to stick a thumb in other nations' eyes. 
“Nobody really thinks about it until it affects them personally,” Ms. Menard said.
when W tried to build a border fence in TX, with many outrages like this, it got mired in over 300 lawsuits and approximately 60 are still pending.
The federal government has rights to an extremely narrow strip of land along the CA, NM and AZ borders, which is why the majority of that strip in those states has some kind of barrier, like this Normandy fencing in some areas to stop vehicles, but land right up to the Texas border belongs to people, local governments, businesses and other organizations, like preservationists.
