President Joe Biden on Thursday defended his administration’s decision to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow for construction of roughly 20 miles of additional border wall, saying he had no choice but to use the Trump-era funding for the barrier to stop illegal migration from Mexico.
Asked if he thought such walls work, he said flatly, “No.”
The new construction was announced in June, but the funds were appropriated in 2019 before the Democratic president took office.
Biden said he tried to get lawmakers to redirect the money but Congress refused, and the law requires the funding to be used as approved and the construction to be completed in 2023.
“The money was appropriated for the border wall,” Biden said. “I can’t stop that.” […]
The decision comes as the Biden administration is struggling to manage increasing numbers of migrants at the border and spreading out in the larger U.S. Democratic leaders in New York, Chicago and Washington are asking for federal help to handle the growing numbers of migrants in their cities. Administration officials on Thursday announced they’d resume deporting migrants back to Venezuela, as part of their effort to to slow arrivals. …

If barriers don’t work, take down the one around the white house!
Took 3 years to say he has no choice... everyone on the left are compete and utter idiots.
I guess he folks in Berlin would disagree
Didn’t Biden’s people sell or get rid of all the border fences stored from Trump days
BTTT
Barriers only work when they are covered by M-60 machine guns. We’ve got border patrollers down there cutting the concertina wire for the illegals and then they fist bump with them.
Chief kick-the-dog is a buffoon
its all a head fake
just a talking point for the election
even if they build anything
it will have a gate
welded open
Why the change of heart? Last week Mark Levin laid out what the first article of President Biden’s impeachment should be - his failure to uphold Article 2 section 3 of the Constitution. Biden is compelled to comply with statutes and laws he may disagree with and he’s violated the law by blowing off the wall at the southern border. They moved quickly now because they are nervous. There really is no change in the Biden administration policy. What they are not telling you is that they will spend that money on building a few miles of wall, the least amount possible, because not doing so is an impeachable offense.
check joe’s pants
Biden is pretending to do something to pacify the Black City State leaders who are losing money taking care of illegals invading their space
The wall effort is but another example of existential Kissing Black Ass
The devil made him do it.
For building fences around their mansions.
Yet on everything else he say he has ‘ways to get around things’, and here, he assertively removed the barriers to the build.
What a coward.
Let me see if I got this straight....
He’s building the wall because it’s the law and he has no choice but to follow the law. But to enforce that law he’s “waiving” (breaking) 26 other laws in the process.
I’m confused.
I had the same thought.
“The money was appropriated for the border wall,” Biden said. “I can’t stop that.” […]
I’ll be interested to see the analysis on his comment, but I feel like this subject, and others, have reached their limit and biden is trying to do it, (wall building) and not do it at the same time to both mollify his base and turn his pathetic poll numbers around.
Bugsy Biden invasion not going as planed socialists getting mugged homes invaded murdered by released convicts and mental ill taking it’s toll.
“the Biden administration is struggling to manage increasing numbers of migrants”
Whatta laff! The increasing number is entirely their plan. They fund it, they encourage it, they are NOT going to actually try to stop it.
Are there walls at Biden’s Delaware house?
I know he wanted a HUGE sum to put up a wall at his beach house-—and he wanted the Feds to pay for it,.
