The wall is getting built one way or another by those that want the wall. That's not hard to understand.
It is much easier to say 'we' or 'us' to refer to a 'side' or 'like minded individuals' then to speak in semantics and legalise.
I'd like to point out that you didn't answer the question.
If you had said something more vague like "we'll get the wall built", then I wouldn't have even bothered asking because it would have been obvious that you were talking about the supporters in general and drilling down into the specifics like who exactly was going to drive the bulldozer would have been a level of pedantry that even I couldn't have stomached. (and I do love pedantry)
But that wasn't what you said. You said, "We already own 10 feet on either side of the current border." That's a really specific claim and I can't think of any group, public or private, that would fit that description.... Unless you've somehow built while I wasn't looking an international coalition of Americans and Mexicans that would make even Jimmy Carter sit up straight and take notice.
So, I'll ask again, who is this "we"?
