Then I guess you are against the wall.The government will have to do a land grab on the border. I would think many will not mind. But some will cry foul

Why would I be automatically against the wall?
I hate tollroads but I am still humping the Trump leg of freedom!

I think the toll roads are a grand idea: those who use it most, pay most. 

This idea worked great in the fifties with NJ Garden State Parkay, and you the regular guy could have bought some stock in it. And today be richer. That's what capitalism looks to me.

And there were a lot of cemeteries relocated in those days.  

Tolls on roads are fine by me to. Those who use them should pay for the upkeep ,maintenance, snow plowing. We do not need more roads so I do not think there be be land grab for new ones. But I can see roads like I 95 becoming toll roads to pickup maintenance is fine by me. That should mean lower taxes on gas.It is the oversight to keep an eye on how it is spent. Lots of crony capitalism if you know what I mean. Plowing companies would lobby like a bitch. Government oversight is very important. This topic should get much more attention...It seems that not enough politicians and lobbyist get held accountable. Privatizing maintenance might be good way, but quality control must be part of governmental oversight.

What land grab?????

Title to our virtually all our Borders is held by the Federal Government through the Dept. of the Interior. 

As for tolls, they produce a revenue stream to encourage timely maintenance of the roadway.

Incoherent nonsense!

Maybe i should have provided some relevant facts about toll roads.
Incoherent you say?
