This rancher doesn’t want a border wall on his land. He fears Texas will build it anyway.

Joseph Hein at his 580-acre ranch on the Webb and Zapata county line on Feb. 15. Hein breeds horses at his ranch, but he fears that if the border wall is built through a portion of his land, it will restrict access to the Rio Grande, which will likely force him to sell his horses.
