Biden administration waives 26 federal laws to build border wall in South Texas due to 'acute and immediate need' to stop migrant surge - leading Trump to gloat that he is 'always right'

* DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas quietly issued the wavier on Wednesday

* Cited 'acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers' at the border

* Wavier applies to limited stretches of the border in Starr County, Texas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Biden administration will waive 26 federal laws to allow several miles of new border wall construction in South Texas, leading former President Donald Trump to argue that his signature policy was correct all along.

The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the US Federal Registry on Wednesday, allowing the construction in Starr County, Texas, part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing 'high illegal entry.'

'There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,' DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in the notice.

The decision contrasts with President Joe Biden's prior posturing against border barriers, including in a proclamation on the first day of his term that stated, 'building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.'

Trump, whose Republican administration created about 450 new miles of border barriers, responded to the announcement by telling Fox News Digital that the Biden administration needs to 'go back to Trump policies.'

And while you watch video of the same piece of wall being built over and over again via the mockingbirds, charter flights and busses will keep bringing them in just outside of camera range.

Now that an election is looming and ByeDuhn is losing big time, he wants to “act” like he’s doing something.

And the media will gleefully parrot “See, see, he REALLY cares”

And most Americans will swallow it hook, line & sinker.

No one taking him to court? Oh yea, no laws for Rats. They will pretend the Republicans have been the barrier to s border wall, the media will repeat it, the low information voter will believe it and the Repukes will do nothing. They might praise him and say this is proof that Biden is the right man foe the job. Threat of a new “hard right” speaker is probably why they are getting out ahead of it.

How is FJB going to build this wall? WHAT is he going to use?

Didn’t Joey’s Stooges SELL ALL LEFT OVER MATERIAL for Pennies on the Dollar.

In other words JOEY GAVE AWAY THE WALL, the same wall that he suddenly now wants to build.

Joe Biden is a TRAITOR. ALL DEMS are TRAITORS!!!

The Dems must be confident that the current crop of ILLEGALS represents sufficient VOTER FRAUD to beat TRUMP, so now they close the border.

But what about all of the court orders stopping the wall from being built?

Isn’t that going to happen to Biden too?

By doing that, Joe sets himself up for a big payday to award new contracts to his brother Jom’s company to build the wall.

Classic misdirection. This tiny "wall" isn't stopping anything. They'll just enter elsewhere.

Fake News.
They have no intention of ever closing the border.
This is just for the first time in forever, the RATS are feeling the pressure from voters.
I originally was opposed to bussing illegals.
I admit I was wrong.

Just another Biden political stunt so that they can say that they are making efforts to stem the flow of illegals while really doing nothing.

Isn’t it going to be harder to build the wall because they sold off pre-built wall sections for scrap?

That means this is just talk.

And federal agents will continue to cut razor wire and pull down river barriers so that the illegals can keep pouring in
