Trump’s justifications for extending the border wall are self defeating but they don’t mean there isn’t a need for a more extensive physical barrier
unless you are for open borders, that is
What are your thoughts on the imminent domain implications?
I know you're against civil asset forfeiture... but, imminent domain seems an even more egregious abuse of federal power.
Since I’ve already said that I’m not a capital L libertarian on immigration (they are open borders) then it stands to reason that I’m also OK with eminent domain as it pertains to our borders. I do believe in just compensation- double the average asking price per acre. And we’d be talking about a 20-30 foot wide strip.
That’s also subject to the specificity of what the Federal government wants to do - in this case, there is no other place a border barrier can be placed other than on .. the border. A military base or a nuclear facility would be something different altogether because there are location alternatives.
I’m fully opposed to eminent domain for any other purposes - like when somebody wants to put in a Wal Mart.
