Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Trump should tell them "no wall - no welfare".

nov 15 2016 Tribal leadership of Tohono O’odham Nation in southern Arizona said they won’t support a border wall project on their land. Part of their reservation extends into Mexico and covers 75 miles of the international border.

The tribe’s chairman and vice chair said the plan was always to try to work with whoever holds the office of the United States President. But, they added, it’s still too early to tell exactly how Donald Trump’s administration will impact the tribe.

Vice Chairman Verlon Jose explained tribal members have traversed their ancestral land since time immemorial, and a wall of any sort would not be supported by the community.

“Over my dead body will a wall be built,” Jose said, describing some community members’ sentiments. “I don’t wish to die but I do wish to work together with people so we can truly protect the homeland of this place they call the United States of America. Not only for our people but for the American people.”

im not opposed to them being on the other side of the wall if they dont want it built on their land.
 
I was wondering if the Cons were going to push the Right of Eminent Domain to build Trumps Fence.
 
Has anyone else noticed that Trump is not referring to it as a fence, not a wall?

I'm not sure how accurate this is or how wide spread the belief is; because I've talked to tribal members and from what I've heard, is they're tired of the trash that's left, homes that have been broken into, and the constant worry about their children being any distance from home.
 
Whatever the legalities, this tribe may have given Trump precisely the excuse he needs to abandon this key campaign promise.

Candidate Trump lead us to believe he'd build a wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, and that it would be a wall impenetrable enough to stop illegal immigration across that border. AND, Mexico's gunna pay for it.

Now President Trump can say: no point. Why build most of the wall if it's going to have a great big hole in it?
