Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirms that construction of the southern border wall has been halted following an executive order signed by President Biden.
Last week, Biden signed a slew of orders, some of which ended Trump’s border emergency declaration and put a stop to funding for construction of the southern border wall within seven days.
“Building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution,” a Biden proclamation reads. “It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security.”
CBP issued a statement confirming that construction had been suspended.
“CBP, in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has suspended wall construction projects except for activities that are safety related,” they wrote.
“All projects are in compliance with the President’s Proclamation.”

And while Biden claims a wall is a waste of money that fails to protect the American people, DHS disagrees.
The wall, they write, is designed to “protect Americans from crimes committed by illegal aliens, stem the flow of deadly hard narcotics into our communities, and rebuild a competitive economy that serves the American worker.”

No.
Get a job.
How many people have lost their jobs since Biden took over?
They need the material for the wall around the capital.
Take down 8 foot Fencing in DC. Build the Southern Border Wall. Take Pens away from Illegal Occupant of the WH.
Ignore illegal actions from the loser Biden and Illegal VP (Not a NB Citizen).
Bring back the Winner - President Donald J. Trump !!!
Hey states...ignore the executive order and continue to build the parts of the wall that have already been contracted out and paid for.

Every consequential Executive Order written by Trump was instantly challenged in court by the Democratic Party or by well funded Democrat activists.
Has the GOP challenged even one radical Executive Order from Joe Biden?
At the very least, a court challenge can be an outstanding way to get Conservative talking points in front of American voters.
Instead, our leadership gives us indolent silence.
Traitor Joek. Impeach the bastard.
Hey, the politicians have to get their cut of the drug money.
Wonder if that senile schmcuck feels the same about his DC wall?
Why are the Democrats pushing for a $15 an hour minimum wage when tens of thousands of illegals are on the border willing to work for far less, off the books.

You just answered your own question.
Before Inauguration, I held open the possibility that Biden might complete some of the remaining Wall Projects (especially those mandated by Congressional appropriations). That had been the norm before, for contracts that had already been awarded, with funding already obligated.
A week after Inauguration, I now think it most likely that not one more bollard panel will be placed during this regime. They seem to have cast off all concern for objectively justifying decisions, and are guided (restricted) only by what they want to do.
You all Kiewit is still going to get paid for not working/Not building a wall, right?
They had a contract.
