As someone else said, eminent domain is a legal process, and thus time consuming. If I remember correctly, CAHs plan or gimmick was they were going to divide up the land into very small pieces, like 1ft sq, and give it to customers. I think it might have been a black Friday sale gimmick. The idea being there would be hundreds of thousands of people with ownership of border wall land, requiring hundreds or thousands of eminent domain lawsuits to be filed. Not a ironclad solution but, in theory, an impressive way to jam up the wall project. I assume the land in question is part of this gimmick.
Funny thing is courts see through shenanigans like this and really don't like being yanked around. This would probably hurt them if anything.
*Who split it into 1 sq ft? I highly, highly doubt any land office would accept that. That would be an obviously unusable plot. No road access, no utility access, any of that.
Ok, that's gooood. 2 thumbs for inventiveness and dumbfuckery extraordinaire.
