What if border residents don't WANT a fence?

ADDED by The Uncooperative Blogger: I could care less how it affects anyone on the border, your country comes first; never forget that.

Cross posted from Right Truth:

Many who are opposed to illegal aliens crossing the Southern border have pushed for a fence. But what about the landowners along the border? How does this affect their property, their means to making a living, access to water for crops of livestock? Do these people have any say in what happens on their property?

"In a written ultimatum to South Texas landowners opposed to plans to build a border fence, federal officials foreshadow the possible use of eminent domain to buy land for border fence construction."

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff sent the letter to property owners who either refused or ignored requests to let federal land surveyors on their property.

The letter says the government will first try to negotiate with landowners for the purchase of property it needs for construction of the fence. But it also warns that if no deal is reached, the government may go to court to "seek title and possession, and the court will determine fair market value." (ChronWatch)

Some protesters say the fence will destroy their property, others are worried about nature, natural habitats, etc. The legitimate concerns of landowners must betaken into consideration.

Petition Congress to Reinstate $3 Billion in Border Fence Funds, from Numbers USA:

Read it and sign it at: www.ReformUS.org

Without explanation, Congress has stripped away $3 billion in desperately needed funds to build the Border Fence that it approved last year and to provide for other border security.

That's right—without telling the public, Congress is pulling the plug on the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence that it voted for with such enthusiasm last year (just before they asked voters to re-elect them).

Help us turn this petition into a national overnight phenomenon. Time is critical—Congress will finalize this funding question before Christmas!

Will you take a minute to sign it right now? Go to www.ReformUS.org.

IF CONGRESS DOES NOT RESTORE THE FUNDING . . .

. . . THERE WILL BE NO BORDER FENCE!
