Texas heard that the Biden administration was auctioning off parts of the border wall, so they decided to grab their little paddle and a fist full of cash and get to bidding.

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick made the announcement during an appearance with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night.

"I don't know if you've heard the latest today, Laura, but Joe Biden is now hauling off the border wall that's been lying down for years, and he wants to auction it off starting at $5 apiece," Patrick revealed.

"Message to the White House right now," he added. "I will bid on all of that wall, and we will buy it in Texas, and we will give it to Donald Trump."

They’ll find a way to disqualify TX from buying the fence. Probably will end up around Pelosi’s digs. Or Adam Schiff’s.

Alright! Way to go Texas. What the hell makes Pedo Joe think anyone would want to buy parts to build a wall anyway. The only ones I could think of are the Mexicans so they could build a wall to keep the deportees out.

Mexico can’t keep their own deported people out of their country.

Its already getting done. Read the article.

“ngraham expressed concern that Patrick might drive up the price by making it clear that Texas is in the market for some border wall. No matter, he’s got some extra in the ol’ petty cash box.

“I’ve got a billion dollars in my pocket to do it,” he said, later adding, “We’re gonna have about $6 billion in our budget for border security. We’ll buy it.”

“I will go in and buy it all.””

Biden auctioning off parts of the border wall, to make more room for the illegals to cross.

He and his party have created long term problems for the country and proud of it comrades.

It was dumb to broadcast this. Use surrogates, buy the materials then return them. Make a big show of it after you have done it. Our side remains incapable of conducting political warfare.

The scrape value of #1 heavy melting Steel is $180/ton.

#2 Heavy melting steel is $129/ton

So, scrap value is about $.60/pound DELIVERED to the scrap yard. Minus trucking.

Its too big to haul economically and too large to use on anything BUT an International border fence.
Stupid democrats (I know, redundant) are just not very bright.
Texas buys it back, stores it on State land and it’s right there on the border for use.
Did I mention democRATS are stupid?

How do you know how he'll buy it?
He may very well use surrogates.
