NEW: Trump admin. is preparing paperwork to begin taking over private land to build the president's long-promised border wall as early as this week, according to two officials familiar with the process.

Can't wait to see those Republican campaign ads about the glories of using eminent domain to take private property from American citizens for a completely asinine border wall that will probably never be built.

Dems: make an ad. https://t.co/4R7RZ5IPCb
