Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz stated Wednesday that using eminent domain to construct a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border is “absolutely” permitted under the Constitution.
“It’s clear eminent domain is a power that is protected in the Constitution, that is created in the Constitution, precisely for public purposes,” Cruz said to Spectrum News. “Securing the border is a legitimate area for eminent domain where landowners would get reasonable and just compensation.”
