Texas Trump voter now fears Il Douche will seize her family's land to build his border wall
File this under karma biting you in the ass.

The border wall will divide this Texas town, displacing or blocking homes - but where?
The neighborhood’s namesake, Maria Albesa De La Cruz, was among the first in the tiny, riverside colonia to receive a letter about the border wall.
Decades earlier, the 79-year-old De La Cruz, her husband and his six siblings had earned enough money picking crops in California’s Central Valley to buy land at the edge of the Rio Grande, where their cattle grazed and sipped from the river near the bridge to Mexico.
In September she got a letter from the U.S. government requesting access to her land so crews could survey the property and assess possible impacts of a wall. “We hope that you and other landowners in the Rio Grande Valley will assist us in our strategic efforts to secure our Nation’s borders,” the letter from U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.

Lupita Rios, of the De La Cruz clan, also agreed to a survey of her riverfront property, but she is worried about rumors suggesting the wall will be built north of the colonia. “They can’t leave us on the Mexican side,” said Rios, a Democrat who voted for Trump because she opposes illegal immigration. Her daughter has been renovating her nearby home, and fears the investment will be wasted.

You'd think, since she voted for that hateful orange thing specifically because of his fucking wall, that she'd be happy to donate her land to such an awesome cause. I guess she thought that "somebody else" would be impacted. A Democrat who voted for trump. Well, she got what she wished for. Elections have consequences. Assholes.
