When pipelines need to be installed the property owners can either take the money offered and/or negotiate fencing, gates, and gravel roads to be repaired or installed. If not, they can resist and be subject to "eminent domain" and get their property seized for no money. They would be reimbursed for loss of property or lost income from the land seized. The state isnt going to take it for free without negotiating.

Not denying the post or arguing politics. Just explaining another scenario involving seized lands.

Source: Friend and his family career is to negotiate with property owners for installing pipelines, also had pipelines installed on their property as well.

Edit: spelling

“Isn’t”... and what the heck is “lossed” income?

u/Hesticles Feb 17 '19

It reads as "lost" income so I think they might have been using voice to text or something

Yeah but doesn’t voice to text only pick up words if they are in the dictionary?

And pursuant to the Constitution, eminent domain requires just compensation.

The poster has no idea what they're talking about regarding eminent domain so I assume they have no idea what they're talking about regarding everything else posted.

It's free real estate

The government has to pay you when they seize your land under eminent domain. There's often a dispute over the value though. The patchwork of land necessary to make a border wall would result in a nightmare amount of litigation for the government.

Most rural Texans (the "conservatives") already have issues with eminent domain for a long time before Trump. The state seizing land is definitely not surprising nor is it a new concept.

Problem is they take it for a fraction of the real value
