Of course, President Trump, as we've noted, has been promising to build a border wall since his first run to be the Republican presidential nominee.
We mentioned that it's going to cost billions of dollars, this stretch of the wall.
Is this the last stretch of the wall to be built?
And is all of that money coming from U.S.
taxpayers?
You asked restaurant owner Bill Ivey, who, as I mentioned, is a three-time Trump voter, what he would say to the president if he were to visit his restaurant.
Let's listen to that.
Lauren, he said it's not a political thing, but is President Trump at risk of losing support in this part of Texas?
What do critics point to as the potential environmental threats that come with constructing a border wall here?
Well, Mike Davidson has worked as a river outfitter and a guide in Big Bend for 49 years.
You asked him if he was surprised by the way people from different political parties have come together on this issue.
Here's part of what he shared with you.
Lauren, what would Trump voters who support the president's efforts to stem illegal border crossings like to see the administration do here?
Imminent Domain, as you mentioned, is on the table here for Donald Trump.
Can you briefly explain what that is and how that threat is going over in Texas?
Lauren, after spending time in Big Bend, Texas, is there one story that sums up the way Texans feel about the president's plans to build a wall that potentially cuts through Big Bend?
Lauren Villagran is a national news reporter for USA Today.
Just incredible reporting.
Thank you so much, Lauren.
Thanks, Dana, for having me.
