You can’t make this stuff up. Former President Donald Trump pushed to build a border wall and he was called racist for years. Now that Democrats finally realize there’s an issue, which Republicans have been telling them for years, they are finally agreeing to allow for some border wall construction. They spent years fighting Donald Trump on this, and now they’re doing what he suggested all along. It’s so bad that Biden’s admin waived 26 federal laws just to do it, according to a political news report on ABC News:
The Biden administration announced it waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration’s first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded so far this fiscal year in the Rio Grande Valley Sector which contains 21 counties.
“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,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.
