Interesting tidbit from Texas

7. Yep, not real popular

The people who like fishing, swimming, skiing, camping, etc along the rio grande would have a beautiful big wall to look at instead of places like Amistad and Falcon Lake. The land owners along the border having land taken away by government imminent domain aren't thrilled. Farmers use water from there to irrigate crops and that could be at least temporarily be interrupted by building one. Pretty much a pisser for those directly impacted by building one.

I don't even live near the border but really enjoyed my trips fishing there. Some since it doesn't directly impact them don't really understand or care to understand the impact something like that could make.
