EXCLUSIVE: Biden's DHS may restart border wall construction to plug 'gaps'
The Washington Times ^ | 4/5/21 | Stephen Dinan

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier.

In a conversation with Immigration and Customs Enformcement employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while President Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”

With the commencement of the Reveal, wondering if this is a test for the left, to see how much they ‘squeal’

This is a common political technique. Politicians say they are going to do something. It gets massive coverage in the media. People who do not follow things closely, hear about because there is so much coverage. Then later, nothing is done. The media then goes silent, leaving most people thinking that something happened.

Georgia Republicans did that last week. They passed a bill in the state house to eliminate Delta's tax breaks. Plenty of stories about. But did you know Republicans in the state senate killed the bill? Both Republicans and Democrats do it. They are the uniparty.

No, they are NOT the Uniparty.

There is a clear difference between democrats and Republicans.

My take is now that President Donald J Trump is “gone”, the left knows that local Hispanic population doesn’t want to he to deal with the huge numbers of fresh illegal immigrants and their criminal history.

Polling is bad on the border so they have been reviewing options.

I don’t think that there is a chance in hell that they really will do this, but the border must be Polling bad for them even to allow thought about it.

Yes there is a clear difference. Democrats are better at corruption than Republicans. 😆

I doubt it. This is just a PR campaign to defect from the border disaster Biden created in short order.

At the fed level, ‘Rats 100% corrupt, ‘pubs 75% corrupt. give or take a percent or two.

At the state and big city level, ‘Rats 100% corrupt, ‘pubs 25% corrupt.

At the local town, ward, precinct level: ‘Rats 50% corrupt, pubs, 5% corrupt.

Give or take... Bottom line is, Trump is right in not starting any new party, and re-instantiate the Republican party, from the bottom up.

The GOPe plays the part of the Washington Generals while Dems play the part of the Harlem Globetrotters.

For a lot of them there is little difference except the lip service they pay voters - look at their voting records to see the truth.

No, they are NOT the Uniparty.

Keep telling yourself that. Republicans are just Democrat assistants.

Un Huh.

Will the media go after him the way they went after Trump over the border wall?

Nope.

So, who do you vote for? Did you vote for Trump?

My congress critter is Congressman Guy Reschenthaler, and he is clearly not a swamp dweller {yet}.

Should I have voted for the demonRAT?

Besides bitch and moan and throw in the towel, what are you doing to change the political environment in PA you staunch Conservative?
