A government agency is trying to seize land from Texas landowners along the 116-mile stretch of the Red River. After all, they’ve done it before—without paying Texans. — in Byers, TX, United States.
XXX XXX Under article 1, section 8, clause 17 of the US constitution (aka the Enclave Clause) it states the government may only purchase state land under specific and limited conditions, namely forts, magazines, aresenals, dockyards and other useful buildings.
The farmer's established this to limit the size and reach of the government, because they envisioned a greedy and corrupt government buying up entire states and eliminating a said state's sovereignty.
Over 80% of Nevada is now federally owned. It's more of a district of the government instead of the state. <---That is the ranchers issue.
He also agreed to pay grazing fees to the state or Clark County as long as the federal government can't just own land to use it for their own gain (like minerals, water, or green energy).
He is not a free loader as so many people ignorantly assert, he refuses to recognize the "right" of the federal government to unconstitutionally own that land and 80% of the state. _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.
Help, help, I'm being repressed!'

Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy - of Bundy Ranch - is locked in a standoff with the federal Bureau of Land Management over illegal cattle grazing, endangered tortoises and property rights. It gets even better...
The fight involves a 600,000-acre area under BLM control called Gold Butte, near the Utah border. The is the habitat of the protected desert tortoise, and the land has been off-limits for cattle since 1998.
Five years before that, when grazing was legal, Bundy stopped paying federal fees for the right. Bundy stopped paying grazing fees in 1993. He said he didn't have to because his Mormon ancestors worked the land since the 1880s, giving him rights to the land.
"We own this land," he said, not the feds. He said he is willing to pay grazing fees but only to Clark County, not BLM.
"Years ago, I used to have 52 neighboring ranchers," he said. "I'm the last man standing. How come? Because BLM regulated these people off the land and out of business."
Nevada, where various federal agencies manage or control more than 80 percent of the land, is among several Western states where ranchers have challenged federal land ownership.
