Kamala has flip-flopped yet again. This time, the pathetic, failed border czar—who’s watched as the country is overrun by illegals—now claims she wants to build a border wall. And if you believe that, we’ve got “81 million” legal mail-in ballots to sell you. This story is the kind of political fairytale designed to fool those who think Kamala is “too radical.” But the reality is, she is too radical, and despite her latest claims, she’ll never build a border wall—and everyone knows it. Yet that doesn’t stop our pathetic media from trying to paint Kamala as a “moderate” who’s in...

Vice President Kamala Harris has reversed her position on spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build a wall along the southern border, Axios reported Tuesday. Harris is now in favor of building a wall after being attacked repeatedly by former President Donald Trump for presiding over an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration to the U.S. as the Biden administration’s unofficial “border czar,” according to Axios. Prior to her second run for the presidency, Harris had called the border wall “un-American,” a “stupid waste of money” and Trump’s “medieval vanity project.” Harris now backs the bipartisan border bill proposed in...

MEXICO CITY, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. government does not want to build new sections of wall on its border with Mexico, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday, expressing doubt that the planned construction would be carried out. "It's pure publicity," Lopez Obrador said in a regular morning press conference, after the Biden administration announced it would build additional sections of border wall, carrying forward a signature policy of the Trump administration. A high-ranking delegation of U.S. officials met Thursday with their Mexican counterparts, among them U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. "They don't want to...

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...

WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration said on Thursday it will add sections to a border wall to stave off record migrant crossings from Mexico, a reversal that embraces a signature policy of former President Donald Trump. Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican Party nomination to challenge Biden, a Democrat, in the 2024 presidential race. Trump made building border barriers a central tenet of his first campaign for president with the rally chant, "Build That Wall." One of Biden's first actions after taking office in January 2021 was to issue a proclamation pledging that "no more...

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump's campaign took aim at President Biden late Wednesday after his administration admitted there was an "immediate need" for a wall at the U.S. border with Mexico. "President Trump is always right. That’s why he built close to 500 miles of powerful new wall on the border, and it would have been finished by now. Instead, Crooked Joe Biden turned our country into one giant sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens," a Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited an "acute and immediate need" to waive dozens of federal laws in order...

McALLEN, Texas -- The Biden administration announced they waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration’s first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.

Once again, Biden’s America. The invasion just keeps going with no end in sight. The United States of America under the criminal Biden Regime perpetuates this unconstitutional crisis. On Monday, Customs And Border Protection cut a barbed wire barrier and allowed illegal aliens to flood into Eagle Pass, Texas. You can thank Joe for that. “Eagle Pass, Texas where just moments ago, Customs and Border Protection cut a hole through the constantina wire that has been stretched by Texas DPS along the border there to allow migrants to come through. It was initially a group of about 60 to 70...

Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday continued gaslighting the American people by claiming Joe Biden has taken the border crisis “very seriously” since day one. Title 42, a Trump-era program forcing migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico is expiring next week. Illegal immigration is already out of control thanks to Joe Biden. More than 6 million illegal aliens have crossed over the US border since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021. KJP told reporters on Thursday that Joe Biden takes the border crisis seriously even though 700,000 to one million illegals have assembled at the border ready to surge across...

This bill could be the key to securing the southern border. Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton filed a bill in the Texas House of Representatives on March 4 aimed at creating a fund to pay for “border security enhancement projects.” As an Op-Ed from The Blaze’s Daniel Horowitz explained, it could even lead to the construction of the border wall in certain states. Slaton’s bill would use state funds to complete the border wall in Texas and would require the governor to seek reimbursement from the federal government. In short, if the bill passes in the Texas legislature, the state...

The Trump administration announced Friday that it is waiving several regulations in order to fast-track construction of nearly 70 miles of border barriers and roads in Webb and Zapata counties (Texas, around Laredo)... The move marks a significant step in fulfilling Trump's election-year goal to have hundreds of miles of fencing or wall in place by the end of the year. The waiver allows the Department of Homeland Security to circumvent regulations mandated in the National Environmental Policy Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the National Historic Preservation Act, among others, according to text of the notice posted...

(excerpt middle...) Where the first caravans were allowed to pass through Mexican territory and even given humanitarian aid or transportation by many communities and some officials, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration changed that beginning last year in response to steep trade tariffs threatened by Washington. The result was on display Thursday on a rural highway in the far-southern Mexican city of Frontera Hidalgo, just across the river border between Mexico and Guatemala that the hundreds of migrants, mostly Hondurans, crossed before dawn. The migrants walked for hours before stopping at the crossroads where Vázquez’s stand lies, taking advantage of...

Donald Trump is building a wall in front of the Democrats. Last week he accepted a fresh load of bricks; and the ironic truth is the Democrats are making the bricks Trump will use to wall them in. The recent walk back of Democracy Corps’ Stanley Greenberg of his comforting reassurances that Democrats were on track to win back the House, is very telling. In an eyebrow raising 180, Greenberg is now warning that there is a “…very real risk…that young voters will not turn out for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.” The numbers tell the story, “A recent...

Former Mexican President Felipe Calderón told CNBC Saturday that his country would not contribute “a single cent” to the building of Donald Trump’s proposed wall. “Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall!” Calderón, who served as president from 2006 to 2012, said. “And it’s going to be completely useless.” “The first loser of such a policy would be the United States,” he added. “If this guy pretends that closing the borders to anywhere either for trade [or] for people is going to provide prosperity to the United State, he is completely...
