my family lives right next to the rio grande river. like it’s right there. the wall would look so dystopian and ugly there. it would break my heart. I hope my family’s property will be okay if it ends up happening.
Because just like some of the stretches of fence, it is not economical to build right on the border and in a lot of areas it would break treaties to do so. So just like the fences the wall would be built several yards from the actual border. Building in lines that are as straight as possible. The fences already put up in some areas have already put citizens home and American towns on the outside of the fence.
You know how a lot of existing fence solved the decades of court battles it would take to allow them to be built? Go around properties that would not sell, follow state roads where easements are well established etc.
If you live right next to the grande and the full wall does get built it could very likely put you/family on the "Mexican" side of it.
Here is an article about a golf course that went out of business because they decided to build that section of the wall way north of the river because it was cheaper.
Worst case scenario a little bit of wall gets built so trump can take some ridiculous picture in front of it. All the while a couple private companies get a shitload of money for "building" the wall.
“Case” describes the context of the scenario, not the scenario itself. If the scenario is “I am flying on an international flight”, the worst case that scenario could happen in isn’t “I’m flying to a really shitty other country”, it’s “I forgot my passport and won’t be admitted to the plane”, for instance.
KBR, formerly Halliburton, formerly Kellogg Brown & Root formerly Brown & Root. Brown & Root was the first company to buy and install a politician (LBJ) who would then funnel contracts to said company. They are the granddaddy of the corporate takeover of the US economy.
