They 'Don't Give a S*** About Us': The Early Effects of Joe Biden Halting Border Wall Construction

US-MEXICAN BORDER — "I'm not going to get in trouble am I? Oh wait, it's my last day...so what are they going to do, fire me?" one construction worker told me on Thursday while we climbed into his vehicle next to the border wall system so I could get a tour of what was being built before President Joe Biden issued an executive order halting further construction.

Biden signed the executive order to fulfill his campaign promise of stopping the construction of the new border wall system that was being implemented by former President Donald Trump's administration. While some areas on the southwest border saw a whole new wall being put in place where none existed before, the new wall system also replaced old barriers that were laughably easy to get over, such as old fencing in the El Paso Sector.

The construction crew was working hard to demobilize and bring their equipment, such as excavators and bulldozers, out of the area as soon as possible in order to comply with the executive order. I was told the crew was about two months away from completing the project they had been working on, which was now over with the quick signing of a pen.

Bidness as usual...

THE issue that binds Red and Blue together in the UniParty is the issue of electoral fraud.

Its why certain precincts have voted Red-Blue for over 100 years. It s the means by which Congress and K St lobbyist can guarantee “product delivery” to interest that pay enough
Various “intelligence agencies” are the enforcement arm

Its mutually assured destruction if either side starts to betray the long-standing inter-generational process.

Whenever the issue starts to bubble too close to the surface
we all start getting entertained with “pizza parties” and “SRA” issues-but these are only incidental to the business at hand-the selling of votes and legislation of the most powerful legislative body in the world.

The contemporary information-digital communications has the ability to put an end to all if this -which is why the “information war” here at home

No, no they don’t. The only one that did was Trump, and they crucified him for it.

Like more debt is gonna matter at this point. I don’t think it will ever be paid back. Will we pay anyway? One way or another.

The Framers never did intend for a president to have the power in Executive Powers to reverse polices of previous administrations.

It will not be paid back and you can bet your bottom dollar that the dollar will only keep getting devalued.

Every illegal from Mexico or south of Mexico could be a walking Covid 19 time bomb!

The Latest: Mexico hits another record for COVID-19 cases

By The Associated Press Jan 15, 2021 Updated Jan 15, 2021

Mexico posted a record spike in coronavirus cases on Friday, with 21,366 newly confirmed infections, about double the daily rate of increase just a week ago. The country also recorded 1,106 more deaths.

It was unclear if the spike was due to the presence of the U.K. virus variant, of which only one case has so far been confirmed in a visiting British citizen.

The country has now seen almost 1.61 million total infections and has seen registered over 139,000 deaths so far in the pandemic.

The country’s extremely low testing rate means that is an undercount, and official estimates suggest the real death toll is closer to 195,000. So little testing is done that 8% of all those who got a test later died during recent weeks; normally, only people with severe symptoms are tested.

Sorry to say it but the jobs are a tiny part of the impact, compared to the economic and national security disasters.

But hey DC is occupied against the Boogoloo Boys or whatever the hell they are.

Durbin, Graham teaming up on immigration bill

Durbin, who also serves as Senate majority whip, said that the forthcoming bill “will resemble our similar efforts in the past.”

Graham and Durbin have previously introduced Dream Act legislation that would provide permanent residency, and eventual citizenship, to immigrants brought into the country as children who meet education or work requirements.

US taxpayers would be paying the penalty, so why should he care?

Biden doesn’t care if there is a huge penalty for ceasing construction. It’s not like he will pay any of it.

The irony is the inner city vote thieves were giving away their most valuable possession for getting ahead - diluting their citizenship. But they gave it away trusting their government master - a master who loves power more than actually helping any middle or lower class american.

Interesting how the Dems are demanding a $15 an hour minimum wage but allowing people who will work for a lot less to slip across the border.
