A border wall upgrade construction project canceled by President Joe Biden is back underway in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced that the Trump administration ordered the restart of a Biden-era-canceled border wall upgrade project along the Texas border with Mexico.
Banks reported that the project will replace six-foot guard rails with 18-foot bollard panels. They are designed to “provide impedance and denial capabilities” to illegal aliens crossing the border from Mexico into Texas.
” These panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump Administration, but the contracts were cancelled (sic) by the Biden Administration,” Banks stated. “The panels going in today will replace the six-foot guard rails and will provide impedance and denial capabilities in support of the President’s recent Executive Orders to ensure complete operational control of the Southern border.”
The announcement comes on the same day the Vice President JD Vance and other top Trump officials visited the Texas border in Eagle Pass. Breitbart’s Randy Clark reported that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard joined the vice president on the border tour.
“The president has said we need sustained commitment from the government of Mexico to take the job of border security seriously,” the vice president told reporters. “Fentanyl is the single largest cause of death among young Americans, and we know that a substantial portion of … the precursors are made in China. They come to Mexico. They’re manufactured in Mexico and brought across the border by the Mexican drug cartels.” .

“These panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump Administration, but the contracts were cancelled (sic) by the Biden Administration”
If they were planned for installation during the Trump administration how was Biden able to cancel them?
I don't think putting a second ‘l’ in canceled merits a “sic”.
The Great Wall got built faster! :)
dems and judges...to heck with them both.
The GWOC took 2000 years to build, actually..I just looked it up.
Wow.
Come—let’s build the wall of Jerusalem and not live with this disgrace any longer.” - Nehemiah 2:17
DID the materials Biden sold of for pennies get recovered???
We need a full border wall and there are 4 years to ensure it is done. If we are getting rid of illegals we need to be confident they are not coming back. A full wall is part of that. Then, constant military patrols on the entire border wall. Drones, boots, manned aircraft, sensors, all in the mix with rapid response forces to stop any crossing attempts. Plus tunnel monitoring. I want more, but this would be a good start.
They were purchased by a construction company and gifted back to the Trump administration.
Good let’s finally complete the wall.
Contracts were in progress when Biden took office. Biden cancelled the contracts... contractors were given one day notice to shut down.
Materials were there, it was nuts to stop in progress work. I was told taxpayers had to pay contractors through end of contracts though they were not allowed to work. Right before Trump was sworn in Biden put materials up on an online auction site. After that became public somehow it was stopped.
Biden (and his crime family) are such pathetic, self-centered sociopathic criminals. It is unfortunate that he (and they)_ cannot/will not be brought to justice for his many crimes.
And don’t stop until it is finished.
Drill, Baby, drill . . those post holes.
“don’t think putting a second ‘l’ in canceled merits a “sic”.”
Either way is OK per dictionary.com
They didn’t have aliens helping them like the Egyptians.
Razor wire. Lots and lots of it.
Notice that when the Biden administration cancelled contracts the courts could not care less.
