(CNN)The Biden administration is canceling another slate of border wall contracts -- this time, in the Laredo and Rio Grande Valley sectors, the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday....

...In late July, US Customs and Border Protection terminated two border wall contracts in the Laredo sector that cover approximately 31 miles. DHS said Friday it will cancel all remaining border barrier contracts in that sector.

"CBP will then begin environmental planning...

...Since 2017, more than 450 miles have been built in multiple locations along the US southern border, including roughly 52 miles where no barrier previously existed, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

Of course he is. His administration is bending the knee to progressives’ demands on immigration at every turn, and flooding this country with as many Third Worlders as possible as long as he is President.

When it comes to open borders, it’s both parties against the citizens.

Wondering why border sheriffs are not deputizing citizens, particularly concealed license holders to help in man power shortages.

The communists MUST purge the border wall as protection against them ever losing their total power in ruling the U.S.

It has certainly worked so far...

With the 10-15 million new migrant invaders who are scheduled to arrive and be welcomed to our welfare and voting system in the next two years, it will keep on working...

This 10-15 million added to the 45-50 million ready here will be the communists guaranteed base for many election cycles into the future...

Have to remember, only about 8-10 million of the pre-existing 45-50 million migrant vermin managed to vote in 2020...
The remainder will join in now that they see how easy it was to get away with...

Four years in office and only 52 miles of new border wall to show for it.

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

Most of the rest covered ares that had woefully inadequate to useless barriers.

You do know Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell denied Trump from funding the wall, don’t you?

If you consider 6’ broken pieces of metal “runway mat” or strands of barbed wire to be a “border wall,” well, 52 miles of “new” border wall might very well be accurate when miles and miles of decaying crap was there and needed to be replaced in high traffic areas.

I personally went to see the wall in March and April.

In early April I rode my dual sport motorcycle at the base of the wall from Columbus NM to El Paso TX.

The 65 miles east of Columbus to the next border crossing has previous ‘barrier’... if you want to call a fallen down 3 strand barb wire fence as a barrier.

There was 40 miles of new 30’ wall, fallowed by 20 miles of new 20’ wall and finally there was 5 miles of existing 20’ wall of very poor quality.

Is suspect much of the other existing ‘barrier’ was much the same.

Thank goodness there isn’t a border surge crisis or that would be a dangerous policy.

Oh, wait....

Because of the bogus repeated lie about "whips" being used on Haitian illegals, I thought they cannot ride horses. So these cowboys can walk to the border on foot.

I’m not talking about the border patrol riding horses. I am saying private citizens should. And in Texas we can open carry as well!
