Mayorkas cites ‘immediate need’ to waive regulations, build border wall in Texas as immigration surges

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.

This is all talk to gaslight people...

There hasn’t been any funding for border walls in the c.r. or anywhere, so it’ll be pushed off, till there is...

Which for the left, is going to be never...

Wow, if this turkey is saying “build the wall”, the situation must be absolutely atrocious. One wonders how many people are dying down there at this point.

Could it be they can almost hear the faint cries of drowning Dem mayors across the land?

Oh. NOW he wants the wall. What changed? I caught the news on the radio this afternoon and some blacks in Chicago were not at all happy with their new neighbors in the migrant camps.

Enough illegals that will accept very low pay have come over the borders to undercut the wages of blacks working to get out of poverty. So the blacks are laid off and replaced by the illegals at lower pay. The blacks fall back into poverty and are told that the way out for them is to vote Democratic and the Democrats will give them lots of stuff. The blacks are back on the plantation and the illegals were always going to vote for Democrats. From the point of view of the Democrats, win-win!

Are these people for real? What kind of game are they playing? Are they simply reacting to poll numbers that they can no longer ignore? And if so, do they really think Americans will forget that the whole crisis was deliberately created by them in the first place?

The Biden administration finally got permission from China to stop the flow. The damage is done. Now’s the time pretend that they actually give a damn. They’ve got a full year to spin and pretend that none of this happened.

He must have had an unusual perception that something was wrong at the southern border. Why didn’t he see this a year or more ago?

But they've been assuring us all this time that things were just fine and under control and fought tooth and nail in court battle after court battle to stop Abbott from any and all enforcement.

I'm starting to suspect the current administration isn't on the up and up.....

Just kidding. I hope they all die in a fire.
