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.'

The real wall was the agreement with mexico to house the migrants and asylum seekers in mexico.

True, but time is also a factor. It takes time to build and deliver new wall sections. And that’s a feature, not a bug.

Yep, my thought exactly. Keep cutting the razor wire and opening gates. We need treason trials and then hangings.

The Biden administration will waive 26 federal laws..
But what about all of the court orders stopping the wall from being built?

If a Republican President tried this waiver, he would be impeached.

The border is now closed.

Biden has met his goal of 10 million new illegal voters enter the USA so he will get 91 million votes in the 2024 election.

Trump may be leading in the polls, but Biden is leading in the votes.

It’s angering when they will spend tens of billions of dollars to try to keep Russians out of Ukraine but not a dime to keep Russians, Mexicans, Chinese, Iranian terrorists and every other nation out of ours. The rest of the world mus think we have the most stupid leaders in the world.

They would be right.

Looks like the local cartel's check didn't clear.

Bugsy Biden has the big carrot on a stick out for vote pimping by building a 20 mile fence.

I imagine a lot of heads exploded over the 180 degree turnaround overnight and this morning. Bet Biden's incompetent pervert spokesperson will have a freakout over questions about it today as well.

Can the government buy back the border wall materials they have been selling off? Okay, probably at a 100% markup.
