Biden Would End Border Wall Construction, But Wouldn't Tear Down Trump's Additions
NPR ^ | August 5, 2020 | Barbara Sprunt

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden says if elected, he would not tear down the parts of the barrier along the U.S. Southern border built during the Trump administration — but he would cease construction.

"There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1," he told NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro during an interview...

"I'm going to make sure that we have border protection, but it's going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. And at the ports of entry — that's where all the bad stuff is happening," the former vice president said during the virtual interview on Tuesday.

Biden committed to fully ending land confiscations...

"End. Stop. Done. Over. Not going to do it. Withdraw the lawsuits. We're out. We're not going to confiscate the land," Biden told Garcia-Navarro...

On China, Biden said he would reverse President Trump's tariffs...

When pressed on whether China would have to meet any conditions for reversing tariffs, Biden deflected...

Biden bristled when asked by CBS' Errol Barnett, a Black journalist, whether he had taken a cognitive test. "No, I haven't taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?" Biden said. "Come on, Man. That's like saying you, before you got on this program, did you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not? What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?"

"looks like mile after mile after hundreds of miles are being built"

Here is the last weekly report from CBP, as of 3 August 2020, on the 738 miles currently funded in the Trump Wall Program:

There are probably something like three dozen crews out there working, across the Southern Border - double shifts are common. Across all of the crews, a total of about ten more miles worth is completed each week.

Every few weeks, CBP posts a new collection of video clips, from an assortment of active Border Wall System construction projects here:

I always find them entertaining.

The Military captures a lot of images and videos, from the segments under construction (The US Army Corps of Engineers is doing the contract management for the Department of Homeland Security, for the Border Wall System):

It’s well known all the illegals go to the ports of entry to sneak in. They are smart people. Why, here they are lined up to enter at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

Biden will be sitting on the fence leaning to the left. That is how you will recognize him.

Yep but, I prefer to use their team proving the point.

Agreed but, they can’t argue against proof from the opposition which is their side

All military funding will be diverted to tear down the wall and open the border to all comers

Democrats must be destroyed. So long as they exist, they are a danger to America
