The Biden administration will waive 26 federal laws to allow several miles of new border wall construction in South Texas, leading former President Donald Trump to argue that his signature policy was correct all along.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the US Federal Registry on Wednesday, allowing the construction in Starr County, Texas, part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing 'high illegal entry.'
'There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,' DHS Secretary

It’s only several million people too late for the wall. The Dems got what they wanted; a whole fresh new voting bloc.

Biden will now claim that it was he who built the border wall that Donald Trump failed to build. He will claim it as a Democrat triumph of border security and how his policies are working.

This is a diversion —- an effort to improve optics at the Texas border. But as the Biden administration brags about a reduction in illegal border crossings, DHS is going to use different means behind the scenes to sneak illegal alien parasites into the country. For example, we know that DHS allowed over 200,000 illegals to take direct flights from their home countries to unknown locations in the USA. DHS can exponentially expand that program any time they want. As Rush said many times, “watch what they do, not what they say.”

This is the same President who welded the doors open in spots, who cut the razor wire in Texas, who ordered the floats removed, who sold the structures we paid for to build the wall, and now he wants to buy new structures to build a wall.
It's a phony, something aint right. There is a buck in this for some Democrat.

Purpose of wall may be to keep us from leaving. The East German communists built the Berlin Wall to keep their citizens from fleeing that depressing police state. Biden’s Wall could be the same in order to keep us from fleeing after he and Dems steal the 2024 elections. See story on FBI creating new category of domestic terrorists, conservatives, to understand why the Biden Wall is being built. Our FBI appears to be modeling itself after the Stasi, the dreaded East German secret police.
Expect to see Biden make a photo op visit to new wall to show how he did what Trump couldn’t.

Eight million people already hiding in America's hotels, gymnasiums, churches and some more covertly, with a large percentage of drug pushers, sex traffickers, rapists, thieves, Chinese soldiers and murderers. Ain't Joe wonderful?

That wall and roads are not being built along the border. They are being built "in the vicinity!" So the question is, where is the "vicinity" located.

Why, because the already have the amount of votes they need. Fact is, they exposed how illiterate the democratic voter really is and they have basically destroyed every democratic run city in our country. Well done guys. And Biden has proved one thing, congress is basically useless. How these communists are even being paid is absolutely pathetic.

Excuse the second post. Jean-Pierre deserves to get slammed today with many questions about the administration flip flop on the border wall policy. But we can count on the sickening WH press corps to dutifully kiss her ring.

#5, agree it's a diversion and a pure political calculation to fool just enough voters into thinking Democrats are doing something.
GOP should make sure they run ads reminding voters that the Democrats blocked $5 billion in funding for the border wall/fence/barrier so they could have the political issue instead of a possible solution.

political expediency is the name of the game with this decision and should have been done 3 years ago but the demcommies and the bidenistas thought they'd have us speaking Russian and Chinese by now
--- that didn't happen so now the political expediency of taking a "strong stand" at the border will, all of a sudden make the bidenista clown show look like they're the heroes and the repubs were flummoxed and couldn't do anything about the border for 3 years
--- now known as "too little, too late" and "you should have done it when you should have done it" and not wait until your whole platform falls in on itself and you look like the jackasses you really are.

Since Biden assumed office, he and the leftist and socialist Democrats have flooded the USA with over seven million so-called migrants or asylum seekers from the Third World who are poor, uneducated, and who fit within the minority group categories of Democrat identity politics. Supposedly those illegal aliens, according to Biden, coming from impoverished countries are all eligible for asylum in the USA, but past decisions by Judges in the immigration courts have found that over 90% of past borderline generated asylum cases were denied after Judges found that the respondents (illegal aliens) were in fact statutorily ineligible for asylum in the USA, as they were in essence immigrants (illegal aliens) coming to work in the U.S. economy without have obtained immigrant visas as required by the immigration laws. Since there are now at least three billion poor and uneducated foreign people now residing in the Third World, about ten times the entire current population of the USA, who under Biden’s asylum standard are eligible to gain entry to the USA, and supposedly apply for asylum, if any or all of them would just show up at a U.S. border, just shows how fraudulent and ridiculous that Biden’s border policies and standards really are.
Because this wave of illegal aliens are in dire economic and financial need and almost all owe many thousands of dollars to the international criminal smuggling cartels, Because of those factors, Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats believe that they can easily buy the vast majority of these illegal aliens future votes by promising to give them access to all the government run social welfare programs, grant them permits to work in the USA, and promise to allow them to bring their extended foreign families into the USA. As those illegal aliens arrive in the Democrat run States, with Biden granted work permits, those illegal aliens can easily obtain US drivers licenses and during that process the illegal aliens are automatically registered to vote by way of the Clinton era motor-voter laws that prohibit local voter registrars from inquiring about any license applicant’s immigration and nationality status, so that masses of illegal alias will be able to vote in the next general election.
Now that a new election cycle is starting, today we hear that Biden will be building a few miles of a borderline wall in the lower Rio Grande Valley to supposedly stop large groups of illegals aliens from crossing the international border from Mexico into Texas. Next we will hear from the liberal media, as we have already heard from Biden’s spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, that Biden has been, and that Biden and is now doing more to secure the U.S. borders than any past president that is pure BS. It does not matter how many miles of border wall that Biden has built, because it has been and is Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” policies and programs that have encouraged and invited the mass uncontrolled illegal immigration into the USA that has been ongoing since Biden assumed office. In that respect Biden has mandated that the gates along the finished Borderline Wall must remain open so that the illegal aliens can gain entry to the USA.

Oh, I agree Associated Press but not for the reasons one may think. Yes, I believe that Donald Trump should give his successes to the glory of God and not himself. So, Associated Press, I find it absolutely baffling that given your tendencies to side with a political party that is trying very hard to take God out of society, that you are now judging or ridiculing people for their actions. Makes you the hypocrite. . .

"...leading former President Donald Trump to argue that his signature policy was correct..."
What a stupid, ignorant statement as only the dimwitted writers of the AssPress could conjure. Nobody leads Donald Trump to believe anything, he was correct, we were correct and he's not the former president, he's the President. Joe is well over two years too late on the wall and the only reason he is reversing course is because all of his sanctuary city mayors are crying and his poll numbers are rapidly approaching Zero. Eight million illegal alien invaders and $33 trillion in debt will be long term problems for America.

Lemme guess, Joe's filthy brother, Frank Biden, bought up all the Border Wall components at fire sale prices, transferred them through the Biden crime syndicate's 20 LLC's ending up with James Biden, who will now sell them BACK to the Federal Government at 3X what Donald Trump paid for them in the first place.

The WH internal polling must be devastating for them to even consider this. Trump should make a campaign ad using clips from all of his 2016 rallies where he demanded that a wall be built and beat Xiden over the head with it.

In addition to all of the above, the 101% politically partisan and corrupt Biden and his crew have been alerted by the recent politically rhetorical actions of leftist and socialist Democrat mayors that the Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” policies that have encouraged and invited mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to the USA that have flooded the USA and especially the big leftist and socialist Democrat run so-called sanctuary cities, with over seven million mostly all poor and uneducated Third World origin foreign people, who Biden and his crew refer to as migrants and asylum seekers, but who under the immigration laws are deportable illegal aliens and who will need all forms of “free” government provided social service benefits and services to survive in the modern USA.
What is really happening in those Democrat run cities is that the majority African-American populations there, who have been past reliable leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters, have been riled up and have come to the conclusion that the flood of illegal aliens arriving in their cities are seriously eating into the government provided social services related pie that all levels of government have been providing their communities, and that as the growing illegal alien population that is in a dire economic and financial condition is and will be sucking up more and more of that social services pie leaving an ever decreasing portion of those government provided social welfare benefits and related services for their community. That includes illegal aliens being provided with all sorts of government provided housing at massive government expense, including even in African-American utilized parks and on sports fields. Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats absolutely know that if the African-American political support and votes come out against them in the upcoming general election that Biden and a lot of other leftist and socialist Democrat politicians will have no chance of winning their elections. That’s why Biden and his crew are claiming that they are going to build about 20 miles of borderline barrier (the wall) in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
That is really a sham designed to again fool those inner-city African-American communities to recover their support and votes. As that small portion of “wall” will not make any real impact on the massive number of illegal aliens who Biden has encouraged and invited to gain unlawful enter to the USA in unlimited numbers. In reality all along that borderline where there is already a “border wall” the Biden crew has opened the wall gates to allow unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to gain unlawful entry to the USA with the government and Democrat ag
Lunged so-called non-governmental organizations (NGOS) transporting large numbers of those incoming illegal aliens to the Democrat run big sanctuary cities. Border walls are only effective if they are secure and watched over by the Border Patrol and Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” policies preclude those facts of life.
If you have been paying attention you know that the inner-city leftist and socialist Democrat politicians are not calling for the illegal aliens who are in impacting their cities to be removed (deported) from the USA in accordance with the immigration laws passed constitutionally by Congress, what they want is for the Republicans in the House of Representatives to appropriate as many billions of federal dollars as possible and send it to them to use for illegal alien social welfare related benefits and services on into the future. The reason for that stance is that Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats consider all illegal aliens, who almost all fit within the minority group categories of Democrat identity politics, to be potential future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead keeping the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political power controlling the Congress and White House indefinitely. What’s happening with mass uncontrolled illegal immigration these days is all political. Do the wimpy Republicans even have a clue?

The demosluts plan is to build no more than 20 miles of the wall, then stop. That way they can say they built the wall just in time to lie during the next election.
