"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

Liberal media dismayed?
Amnesty DJ Drummond is dismayed. Bush, McCain, and "Tell the bigots to shut up" Lindsey Lohan are dismayed.

As SPQR notes, there was never any question as to whether eminent domain applied.
I'm not familiar with the flow of illegals in the area. If it's heavy, it's a good place to put fencing. If it's light and sporadic, it would have been better to start elsewhere.
Eagle Pass is right on the border, with several small cities not far on the other side, so it could well be a prime candidate.
Of course, "amnesty" or any other method of dealing with those already in the country is a completely separate issue from stopping border crossings in the first place.

I didn't notice that this AP writer did her homework enough to mention the the US congress passed a bill to build this fence and secure major portions of the southern border.
Must a slipped her liberal pea brain.

I still think all our politicians should be fired as traitors for not building the fence on 9/12
