This is all bullshit. Just like opening drilling leases in Alaska. These people lie with impunity and the sheep just go Baaaa, Baaaa. I think it was last week we were told the turnip sold millions of dollars in wall materials for $9 million.

Click link to read how Biden has been selling off the unused material for the border wall construction that he stopped.

It was sold for bargain basement prices.

They might build 10 miles of the wall by January 2025. Then they will stop.

The Democrats knew that President Trump was within his power to use the laws to build the wall, but they took him to court anyway to delay his progress, and succceded.

Now we see the fruits of their labors when the LAAP-dog media keeps reporting that "Trump only built 49 miles of border wall."

Biden, on the other hand, isn't even attempting to justify using existing laws, he's waiving existing laws by diktat and expecting everyone to just let him do it.

Take all the money that was headed to the Ukraine and spend it on building the baddest MFing wall ever!

And spend more money on hiring and training more Border Patrol.

Tasers, rubber bullets and shotgun sand bags for each and every agent.

We shouldn't allow him to build it unless it was in the legislation. We should sue him in a federal court.

So for 4 years during Trump it was one protest after another to build a wall. Now we are fast tracking it before election season and those previously name calling and protesting it are clapping like seals in approval. Got it.

“..I wonder what he’s doing with the other hand....”

Making Obama breathe hard and his toes curl.

This is how they’ll the argue for Ukraine money…give us the money for ukraine and we’ll give you the money to build the wall…it will get built- we’ve already greased the skids.

It’s political cover for congress to vote for ukraine.

Gee, I didn’t see the liberals on facebook social media threads lamenting with crocodile tears about how insensitive this is, etc. like they did just a few short years ago.

So, the Dhimmicrat brain trust has calculated that they’ve let in enough illegals, that they can easily win elections indefinitely...

...at least until they need to figure the next way to steal an election!

Yes, isn’t it amazing?

Not just the media, left wing activist groups, etc. but our social threads were flooded with posts from the liberals “mourning” the policy of a border wall and other border control procedures during Trump’s tenure. Not a word about this at all...it is like it isn’t even happening. Just shows they were fake crocodile tears.

I’d say Dems voters will be mad about this but then I remember they believe whatever tv tells them so by next week they will come out and say they WERE always for the border wall.

“The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction ...”

Pinch me so I know I’m not dreaming.

Laughable, considering, they just auctioned off, all of the border wall material, that was ready to be installed.

I guess, a democrat donor, who makes the wall material, needed the contract, to make more. 10% to the big guy, of course.
