DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is citing an "acute and immediate need" to waive dozens of federal laws in order to build a border wall in south Texas where illegal migration has surged, a sharp contrast to dismissals of the use of such barriers in the early days of the administration.
The agency posted an announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry which outlines construction in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley Sector -- where the administration says there is "high illegal entry." The agency says there have been over 245,000 migrant encounters in the sector this fiscal year.
Mayorkas says he is using his authority provided by Congress to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act.

When do Causasians qualify as an endangered species?
Well we have the stoop labor we need now.
Really? Now build the wall?
So building cages now is also an option? lol
Hidden meaning, “we have registered enough new voters to secure the ‘24 election so we can stop the invasion now.”
oh what a difference a day makes...
Why do I think any border-wall constructed at this point will be to prevent the illegal aliens (and maybe legal citizens) from leaving?
If you have ever built a wild pig trap, you will understand my thinking.
Election time.
Must be they figure they’ve already gotten enough illegals into the country to steal elections for the next 20 years anyway.
Completely unnecessary. The border is closed. Right?????
As is usual, democrats simply ignore laws when it suits their political agenda.
The problem with this is that he’s using this to go around 26 LAWS. Are they laws, or regulations? I wonder.
I’m waiting for the WaPo story that Trump tore down the walls but that brave Joe Biden is building them up again. Because you know it’s coming.
So now Biden and the democrats just have to convince their voters that they have wanted a border wall the entire time and it is the evil far-right MAGAs that have been stopping the wall construction. No longer will a border wall be racist and xenophobic. It will be the right thing to do (especially if one more progressive politician or activist is mugged, robbed, or car-jacked).
Of course, they will fall right in line. Those such as the Pigs on View and Morning Joe will be spouting the new party line as soon as they receive the talking-points.
watch them build wildlife crossing tunnels under the new wall sections.
Only half kidding.
Did they clear this with Kamala?
I’ll bet this has everything to do with Kevin McCarthy getting dumped as House Speaker yesterday.
