From the AZ Central article, there it is in a nutshell:

"We will not sit idly by while our property is seized by the federal government to build an expedient, but useless, expensive and potentially damaging wall across the Texas-Mexico border," Chad Foster, mayor of Eagle Pass, Texas, told Cox News Service.

The extent to which this regime dances around, and shreds, the laws of this country is just mind boggling.

Pass the popcorn.

Except of course if you are Ray Hunt. You know, the same Ray Hunt who was one of 241 Bush 'pioneers' in 2000, and who chaired the RNC's "Victory 2000" committee, and who was therefore rewarded by the Bush administration with a position on his international affairs team.

Then nothing, not even the urgent mandate from the Department of Homeland Security that this is some kind of a 'national emergency' that requires walling in the country, is important enough to obstruct ***YOUR*** and your relatives' real estate.

I remember reading about this Hunt deal over at Think Progress.

It's the same old double standards BS: Subjugation of those not rich enough, better perks for the "privileged elitists"… and as long as the rich keep getting theirs, it doesn't have to make any sense, does it?

Pfft.

We're going to do our best to get rid of them.

Just the same as we do for other things of dubious quality.
