by Andy Uhler
Feb 4, 2019
Fred Cavazos and Rey Anzaldua say a planned expansion of a South Texas wall would hurt their livelihood and is disruptive to their family history.

He says the family will never sign over the rights and the government will have to take the land through eminent domain if a wall is going to be built on their property.
