More days than not, the Biden administration leaves you shaking your head in exasperation as they deliver one terrible decision after another. On Wednesday, however, they actually announced a good decision—let’s build a wall to help solve the disastrous, self-created border crisis.
A wall! What a great idea. Too bad nobody ever thought of that before. Or maybe someone once did…?
Here’s the newest plan, as announced by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:
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.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing “high illegal entry.” According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded in this region during the current fiscal year.
BREAKING: The Biden administration says there is an “immediate need” to wave regulations and build a border wall as the migrant crisis spirals out of control.
Remarkable. 4 years ago this was “racist.” Now they’re advocating for it.

Not only is it ironic that Biden is building a wall after putting an end to former President Donald Trump’s efforts to put one up, but he’s waiving 26 environmental laws—including the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act—to do so. This is the same man who continually lectures us about environmental issues and climate change.
Mayorkas warned the situation has grown dire:
“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,” Mr. Mayorkas said in an official filing in the Federal Register. “In order to ensure the expeditious construction of the barriers and roads in the project areas, I have determined that it is necessary that I exercise the authority that is vested in me by section 102(c) of IIRIRA.”
Note that the “acute and immediate need” is happening under his and Joe Biden’s watch. In fact, the president has seemingly welcomed the unprecedented surge in illegal immigrants and paved the way for the human tsunami with decisions like this:
BIDEN (2020): "There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration!"

The administration had put a halt to new border wall construction in early 2021, after then-candidate Biden had promised there would be “not another foot of wall constructed during my administration.” The administration said that wall construction under the Trump administration was “just one example of the prior Administration’s misplaced priorities and failure to manage migration in a safe, orderly, and humane way.”
Anyone who has been paying attention knows that there’s nothing “safe, orderly, and humane” happening on the Rio Grande.
Mayorkas is the stuff you scrape out of your butt crack
Wow a border fence…why didnt we think of that…its brilliant!
Could they maybe not weld the gates open?
Aug 23, 2023 A couple of weeks earlier, Border Patrol agents, acting on superiors’ orders, welded some 114 gates open to stop anyone from closing them.
KJP said GOP efforts to secure the border were a threat to national security
Yes some other countries security, Final fiscal year 2022 numbers show Border Patrol apprehended a whopping 98 watch-listed terrorists at the southern border, six times the record 15 caught there in 2021
Impeach Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden for violating environmental law or building the wall… see if any Democrats will go along with it.
So, are we having to buy new material for the wall, since Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden was selling off all the materials staged previously so no one else could use it to build a wall? To date, all the funds this criminal regime have demanded for the border have been to be able to process MORE illegal immigrants FASTER and release them and spread them throughout the country. NONE has been for border security. Like another article posted on FA recently, this is just campaign posturing, enacting some border security right up against the election so they can claim they’ve secured the border.
He should step across the border and just keep walking.
Oh Realllly? Our tax dollars at work folks.
Why would biden build a wall at the border? Democrats have said walls don’t work.
They work so badly that Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden had to cut holes in Trump’s wall so it wouldn’t work.
OK I just heard Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s weak, pathetic, shallow, transparent, laughable, incomprehensible, you’ve-got-to-be-f**king-kidding-me excuse for why he is building more wall: the money is appropriated for the wall and he has to, by law, spend it on the wall.
No. Really.
First, when did this corrupt, fascist regime respect the law? Why are even these open border idiots having to build more wall in the first place? Because they won’t enforce immigration law! This regime suppresses civil rights, censors free speech, uses lawfare to interfere with elections and imprisons political opponents… they are worried about spending money on something it’s not designated for? Again… REALLY?
But, here’s the real rub. Remember where Trump got the money in the first place? This was money the DoD had for border security. He declared an emergency and used the funds to stop drug smuggling, terrorists and criminals from crossing the border. Democrats fought him tooth and nail until finally, the Supreme Court told them to shut up.
So, he isn’t forced to build more wall because the money has to be spent on the wall; it could simply revert back to the DoD and he could spend it on drag queen shows, gender reassignment or sensitivity training. It could even be sent to Ukraine to be laundered and stolen by him and Hunter… again.
Are you suggesting that Mexico didn’t pay for it?
They would have, had it been finished. But, how about Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s massive, double-headed lie? Do you like it when he lies to you? Does it give you a chubby, pretending he’s lying right to YOU personally?
