A Texas family says it was likely one hearing away from the government taking their land to build a wall when President Biden took office and temporarily halted construction. “We’re happy with the pause, but we just don’t know what’s going to happen.”

MISSION, Texas—The Trump administration’s border wall now nearly stretches to the riverside retreat where the Cavazos family fishes, barbecues and earns a living on the Rio Grande. To the west, a recently completed stretch of wall stops at their property line. To the east, the bustle of contractors moving dirt continued this past week around a partially built stretch of wall.

The family has been fighting the government’s efforts to seize a slice of the property via eminent domain and build a border wall that would leave the rest of the property cut off, on the fence’s south side. The family says it was likely one hearing away from having the government take possession of the land when President Biden took office.

Mr. Biden issued an executive order on his first day in office to stop construction of the border wall temporarily, while evaluating how to halt it permanently. The move followed Mr. Biden’s campaign promises to halt construction of the border wall—President Donald Trump’sStopping construction for good, however, is complicated. Sections of the wall are already partially built and federal money is already spent or appropriated for the wall.

The Cavazoses are among hundreds of landowners in limbo as the Biden administration evaluates what to do next.

Дед! Продавай забор !Пока Хантор не очухался! Grandfather! We must sell the fence! Until Hunter Biden found out!))))))))

Ugly... even Native's cared lands had to give way for walls... btw the landowners not compensated?

That's a great reason to let everybody into the country.

Last time Democrats did impeachment it was because Trump wanted Ukraine to look into Hunter Biden corruption—who is now under criminal investigation over his foreign business dealings. Impeachment distracted America from preparing for the pandemic.

The irony continues. The conman for the people took private land from people that didn’t want to give it up.

How much you need fam...Dm now!

The wall was basically cutting off the USA from protection. If Trump had of won the election, in two month's, the USA would have become a full Dictatorship.

The wall doesn’t work but a surge in illegal migration won’t be an outcome Biden wants happening. It’ll be disastrous for Democrats in 2022. Biden must show he can’t secure the border better than Trump’s stupid wall. The outcome is what really matters.

Guess they will be coming through your backyard now.
