By Judge Andrew Napolitano Constitution. These are all basic truisms of American government, yet we have veered so When Donald Trump was looking for a catchy phrase during far from them that they bear repeating. his 2016 presidential campaign to address the issue of immigrants entering the United States unlawfully — a line that would resonate Now, back to the president’s wall. President with his supporters — he came up with the phrase “build the wall.” Trump has no power to build a wall or a fence The reference, of course, is to what Trump advertised would be a or a doghouse on private property without an 30-foot-tall, thousand-mile-long Mexico-financed physical wall express or implied congressional authorization along our border with Mexico. to do so. The vast majority of the property in Texas on which he wants to build is private, At first, most folks seemed to dismiss this a pie in the sky. Why according to Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, whose would the government of a foreign country pay for a wall in the district contains a longer stretch of the border United States built so as to keep its own citizens and residents from than anyone else’s. entering the United States? The answer: It wouldn’t. Thus, the federal government must use So President Trump changed his argument that Mexico would eminent domain, which gives each landowner pay directly for his wall by arguing instead that the $5.7 billion the right to a trial to challenge the government down payment he wants — on a $25 billion to $30 billion project — as to the worth of the property the government would indirectly pay for itself in reduced government welfare and wants.

The court held that forced to vote on it. The president is probably kicking himself only Congress could authorize the seizure or adverse government Perhaps the answer is that his frustration with the Democratic for not calling in a few favors and addressing the wall before the occupancy of private property and the expenditure of money needed House has reached a boiling point, but that boiling point cannot be Democrats took control of the House. to operate the mills. a basis for a declaration of a national emergency.
