ANALYSIS – More than two years after ceasing construction on former President Donald Trump's border wall, and more than two million illegal immigrants flooding into the United States, Joe Biden is quietly restarting the oft-criticized by the left, but critical, border barrier.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) led by the incompetent Alejandro Mayorkas, Team Biden has used executive action to suddenly waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow emergency border wall construction.
The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by Biden to allow immediate construction of the border wall using funds appropriated by congress in 2019.
The waivers, also criticized by left wing activists and environmentalists, avoid time-consuming reviews and lawsuits challenging violation of environmental laws.
The initial construction would be in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” Around 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded 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, according to Newsmax.
Trump responded to the news on Truth Social:
“So interesting to watch Crooked Joe Biden break every environmental law in the book to prove that I was right when I built 560 miles (they incorrectly state 450 in story!) of brand new, beautiful border wall.”
Biden ceased the border barriers that Trump had earlier begun, on Inauguration day Jan. 20, 2021, stating then that “building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott renewed some of those efforts after Biden halted them on day one of his presidency. But the state can only do so much.
Apparently, it took Biden more than two years and massive waves of unvetted, illegal immigrants crowding our major cities, to realize that the border wall is a serious policy solution after all.
Trump added on Truth Social: “As I have stated often, over thousands of years, there are only two things that have consistently worked, wheels, and walls! Will Joe Biden apologize to me and America for taking so long to get moving, and allowing our country to be flooded with 15 million illegals immigrants, from places unknown. I will await his apology!”
I don't know if 15 million illegals have come in under Biden, but it is a huge number. Border control advocates hope this major reversal will lead to a total overhaul of Biden's failed border and immigration policies.
As Newsmax reported:
“After years of denying that a border wall and other physical barriers are effective, the DHS announcement represents a sea change in the administration's thinking: A secure wall is an effective tool for maintaining control of our borders,” Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said in a statement. “Having made that concession, the administration needs to immediately begin construction of wall across the border to prevent the illegal traffic from simply moving to other areas of the border.”
It's time for the dysfunctional GOP congress to push Biden on this issue. It should be a battle cry for the next House speaker.
Conservative firebrand Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee chair, who has thrown his name into the race for speaker, said his first focus as leader would be border security.
‘The very first thing I would focus on is that no money can be used to process the release of migrants into this country,' he told Fox. That, and accelerating border wall construction should be priorities, followed by reinstalling most , if not all of Trump's effective border and immigration policies.

So tell us who bought the border wall materials that Biden sold for pennies on the dollar.
Just like the idiot Mush Mind sold 100 million barrels of oil from our strategic reserves to Chine and now it will cost us about three times more to replace it!
idiot Mush Mind, is the perfect name for an I.M.M.
Damned good question. Guaranteed it was a Demo donor.
wm – best info I have seen is that it was sold to a Canadian group. Anyone wanna bet that he is taking this action to deflect attention away from the big guy cut.
My question is if the funds were allocated in 2019, why were they not spent back then? Of course he will blame that on Trump………………..
I’ve got my first check for a total of thirteen thousand US dollars. I am so energized, this is whenever I first really acquired something. I will work much harder now and I can hardly hang tight for the following week’s installment. Go to the Home tab for more detail. I highly recommend everyone to apply.. www.Payathome7.com
the folks that will be selling the material for full price or maybe more so the big guy get its 15%
More than likely Biden will try to take credit for the entire wall. After all it was not 100% effective until he added the final pieces. Surely you don’t think he will give any credit to Trump!!
Biden apologize to Trump?
You betcha’ – Biden and the Dem’s will slap him with another bogus criminal indictment of some sort or other. That’ll be their apology!
Oh, hell NO. Don’t you know that Trump is to blame for everything, and Mush Mind Biden has done everything correctly? Yeah – RIGHT!
Yeah now that the election is coming up he has decided to resume building the wall , it was all a ploy to get reelected, he could have restarted the wall anytime he wanted but he saved it for close to the upcoming election so he would look good to the idiots that voted for him. If you don’t think this is the case you are ether not too smart or incredibly naive.
Of course he’ll apologize. When pigs fly.
Biden and the Democrats can say they are going to build the wall but. I will believe it when I see it.
The country knows that Biden IS the criminal in this offense who needs dealt with and this clownish move is ONLY a CYA move by Biden. Hey Joe, it doesn’t work, clown.
The easy to climb side is facing Mexico. The smooth hard to lock a sneaker into faces Texas. Who thought of that?
Do not hold your breath. He is busy sending billions to Iran so that they can supply weapons to Hamas and finish building their A or N/bomb so that they can drop it on the country & citizens he hates the most.
