The Biden administration spends about $130,000 per day to store and maintain unused border wall panels at the southern border, and Senate Republicans are demanding answers.
Republican members of the Senate Armed Forces Committee — using details provided to them in a request for information to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) — sent a letter Wednesday evening to the Defense Department asking why nearly $50 million is being spent each year to store the Trump-era border materials.
Led by ranking member Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and signed by Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, along with nearly every other Republican on the committee, the senators wrote that they "are disturbed to learn the Department of Defense is paying private landowners to store border wall materials procured under the Trump Administration instead of fortifying the southern border with those materials."
"At present, over 20,000 border wall sections, otherwise known as bollard panels, lie unused at 20 project sites across southern Arizona and New Mexico,"

🤦♂️🤦♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️..........................
I see Republicans are in mid-season form with their letter writing...
Yanno, you gun-grabbers who are worried about the guns flowing South from the United States into Mexico, border walls work both ways...
And then there's Keystone...Joe shut down on Day 1...Pipes were all stacked...another "job kill" thanks to Joe.
They are using that 50 million for “diversity” education programs. It is being put to good use. /sarc
Perhaps if the GOP wouldn’t be giving them 10s OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect Ukraine’s borders, they’d have something to complain about.
Dawg...Maybe go after the Dems who created the "stop work" order....instead of the Republicans.
That has to be a joke. If it wasn't for republican interference with Trump, that wall would be standing upright and complete. Of course the rats share in the blame but they hardly stand there alone.
Simple explanation. They are slowly using it to continue to build the walls. Biden ever really abandoned Trump projects. Just slowed them. Its all a great big con job
The GOP-e helped the RATS block the wall.
Now they pretend to want it.
GOP backlash?! What a joke. The GOP couldn’t BACKLASH it’s life depended on it, which in fact it does.
Yep, that's it exactly.
And I’d bet those “letters” are just *biting* and *threatening* to the DHS & WH morons.
O nos…. Republican backlash. Can they fit this in to their schedule of Ukraine democrat money laundering? The treasury sec, h Clinton and another important ruler were in Ukraine as the banks here ware positioning to get the U inform Commercial Code rammed through every state it has been successfully passed in a buncha red states too.
You’re going to love what they have cooked up this time. Canada sure does!
The Biden administration will forever hold the record of stupidity in every action they take.
Bet their Kool-Aid is labeled UTOPIA.
That money could totally be used in Ukraine
