Arizona ranchers who supported Trump wall now have doubts about border plans

1
The following is a story I read in the LA Times about my neighbor, John Ladd, a cattle rancher living 20 min from my house in SE AZ. What he says about The Wall on our Southern border is personal, it stands in his land and affects his livelihood, and his doubts of its cost and effectiveness is echoed throughout the Southwest by people immediate impacted by Turnip’s rhetoric.

This article includes nice pictures...

Saw that article, very interesting. Their problem is with the US Border Patrol and how they patrol the border area. Donnie and the media wackos see the wall as the panacea, build it and our border problems are solved forever. These border residents argue that's not the case.

Residents on the Texas border feel the fence is a waste and they don’t like taking their property for the fence. Much of the property has been owned by the same family for generations. Interesting the ones you hear most about the land being taken are Hispanic. Also the fence will leave large amounts of land in Texas on the Mexico side of the fence. Orange Slime had said the fence would be built on the border. That is interesting since the border from El Paso to Brownsville Texas is the middle of the Rio Grande River.
