The Pentagon is to cancel all US-Mexico border wall construction projects paid for using military funds
Former President Donald Trump ordered the diversion of billions of dollars in Pentagon money to pay for the barrier after being denied funding by Congress
President Joe Biden announced a halt to border wall construction after taking office in January
Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015 with a pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexico border and to make Mexico pay for it
Mexico refused and so did the House of Representatives after Democrats took control in 2018
Trump ultimately bypassed Congress by dipping directly into Pentagon coffers, forcing the Defense Department to allocate billions of dollars for the project
President Biden's cancellation comes into effect as over 172,000 migrants were arrested in March - the highest figure in 20 years
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pentagon officials are canceling construction of Donald Trump's border wall with funds the ex-president diverted form the military and diverting an unspent $14 billion back to the Department of Justice.
A spokesman said Friday: 'Border wall construction under the previous administration tied up more than $14 billion in taxpayer funds, shortchanged our military, and diverted attention away from genuine security challenges, like human traffickers. Rushed and haphazard wall construction also resulted in serious life, safety, and environmental issues,' the official said.
Trump declared a national emergency in 2019 in an effort to redirect funding to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.
Biden's cancellation of his flagship project came weeks after the US announced it had arrested more migrants who crossed the southern border than in any month since 2001. More than 172,000 people were detained after crossing into the country from Mexico during March.

Biden is defunding defence
Absolute insanity.
Mass media propaganda translation:
“Migrant” = Illegal alien
—and now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
Fat ass military top brass didn’t like their money being diverted. No wonder they went after Trump.
Well, we have a puppet in the White House being run by the OBAMA CABAL through strong arm tactics administered by Jarrett and Rice and an America hating Affirmative Action “general”, an “Idi Amin, Jr.” look-a-like as Sec. Of Defense..... WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
“Fat ass military top brass didn’t like their money being diverted. No wonder they went after Trump.”
Fat ass military top brass didn’t like their money being diverted. No wonder they went after Trump.
Worth repeating.
THIS is what China would do.. DESTROYING US FROM WITHIN without firing a shot.
CHINA is building it's farm labor army in the U.S. in advance of outright seizing our agricultural land. They need as many MIGRANTS to realize their dream.
ANYONE who DOUBTS that China controls the BIDEN CABAL.. WAKE UP! Have you seen the 'woke video' released by the CIA?
We are witnessing the destruction of our country, from WITHIN.
Ask yourself, "WHAT WOULD CHINA DO?" EVERYTHING the BIDEN CABAL is doing is WHAT CHINA WOULD DO to DESTROY US FROM WITHIN, and.. THEY ARE SUCCEEDING.
There is no other way except troop-manned manned mine fields and concertina razor wire. WTF is the matter with the Pentagon?
Krazy Jojo Bye-Bye-den!

The lies and manipulation that the American people are forced to swallow from our corrupt government are truly astounding.
The wall would be finished if it wasn’t for GOP obstruction.
They aren’t soldiers. They are bureaucrats and mainly interested in retirement jobs.
The Democrat Party versus the American people.
Again.
What crisis?
Critically important point to note. President Trump was clearly doing everything he could - within the limits of the office - to get the wall built, but he can’t simply conjure money from thin air. Congress can, and does so regularly, but somehow they had no money for the wall.
We knew this was going to happen, that’s why Trump campaigned for reelection like there was no tomorrow - and won big. What Trump didn’t consider was that the GOP was part of the conspiracy to take him out.
Absolutely true.
Use the money to build welcoming centers and camps for the new Democrats coming into the nation. Whole new cities could be built at the border to hold the Millions of newcomers from all over the world.
And Joe Xiden is proud of that. Meanwhile, our company has a plant in Tijuana which can't get enough workers because the borders are open again. We've actually had to send our talent down there just to keep the factory operating.
