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.

Sorry! We’re broke! ALL of our Tax Dollars are being funneled through Ukraine and back to Brandon, Hunter and the DNC.

I’d bet the farm that the next ‘bill’ introduced by the Socialist Democrats ties building the wall to Ukraine funding. RINOs will refuse it, and then they’ll get the blame for not building the wall.

It’s total FANTASY that we’re ever going to get a wall. *SPIT*

“Hidden meaning, “we have registered enough new voters to secure the ‘24 election so we can stop the invasion now.””

Exactly.

They will build the gates, first. And finding the right contractors to pay off should allow them to stall for a few more years.

It’s no longer about letting everyone in.

It’s now about keeping us from getting out.
