‘Sense of betrayal’: Backlash grows as border wall construction impacts Texans’ homes
President Trump's administration has faced backlash from Texans whose homes and ancestral lands are being impacted by border wall construction. Residents, including fifth-generation landowners like Yolanda Alvarado, have received letters proposing to seize private land through eminent domain for the wall, leading to a sense of betrayal and disruption to their lives and communities. Reporter Antonia Hylton discussed her reporting on the issue, highlighting that the reality on the ground in Texas contradicts the narrative presented by the White House.
The construction of the border wall is disrupting established communities and private property rights in Texas, raising questions about the administration's approach to immigration and land use policies.
The episode also previews Antonia Hylton's new show 'The Assignment,' discusses President Trump's promise of $5,000 checks if Republicans win midterms, and touches on a proposal to exclude immigrants without green cards from the 2030 Census.
