Bush regime makes city give up land to build fence

Well, this is a federal land grab and a half.

The Department of Homeland Suckyurity is building a new fence on the Mexican border, supposedly to keep people from coming to the U.S. illegally. Everyone knows it won't work, and it's just going to put lives at risk anyway. And that's why the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, doesn't want the fence.

(And yes, this is the same fence that the DHS refused to even use American-made steel for, preferring instead to buy the steel from China. So much for the ruling regime's claim of standing up for the good ol' red, white, and blue.)

But the Justice Department told the people of Eagle Pass they had to accept the fence or else. Not only that, but the city had to turn over 233 valuable acres of land so the Bush regime could build the fence. A federal court even sided with Bush by requiring the city to give up its land.

The mayor said Bush's tactics are "sneaky underhanded measures."

The land grab gets worse. Throughout the Southwest, the DHS has filed over 100 lawsuits to seize property from individuals who don't want to give up their land for the miles of useless fencing.

What's the point in even dividing the country up into states, counties, and cities anymore if an overbearing federal government can just come in and make a city give up its land to build a fence people don't even want?
