Trump supporter finds out her house will end up on the Mexican side of Trump’s wall

Trump’s border wall and his anti-Mexican rhetoric was a driving force for many of his supporters in Texas. Now as his wall inches closer to reality, many of them are now finding out that they’ll be forced to sell their land to make way for the wall’s construction, and those who aren’t forced out by eminent domain could find their property on the Mexican side.
A CNN report pointed out that the upcoming construction will put many Trump supporters in an interesting predicament. River Bend resident Pat Bell told CNN that she fight having to give up her property, even if it means getting a lawyer.
“Absolutely I would go to the people who are in charge,” Bell said. “You hate to say I would get a lawyer, but if it comes to that issue, you would.”
From CNN:
In most cases, property owners have little recourse to prevent their land from being taken. The litigation typically centers on whether they were offered a fair price.
On the campaign trail, President Trump suggested property owners are paid “a fortune” for their land. Experts who have studied eminent domain dispute that. What a surprise!
CNN’s analysis of the litigation found that in about a quarter of the cases a judge ordered the government to pay more to those who challenged the initial compensation offer. And, the number is likely higher because the government reached out of court settlements in many cases.
Norton Colvin, a trial attorney in Brownsville who has represented many landowners, said those who don’t have the financial means to go to court can “get steam-rolled” by the process.
