Liberals Aren't Going to Be Happy About the Biden Administration's Latest Update About Trump's Border Wall
2021-04-07
Key graphs:
[Townhall] The camps are packed to the brim with illegal aliens, which is why the Biden administration in a move that should shock no one—barred the media from viewing these facilities. Our own Julio Rosas is at the border documenting the crisis and it is a crisis. He obtained photos of the conditions. Biden cannot ignore this forever, which is why the administration is quietly poised to restart border wall construction, though Biden’s people will frame it as an initiative to fill the "gaps" (via Washington Times):

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called "gaps" in the current barrier.

In a conversation with ICE employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while Mr. Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, "that leaves room to make decisions" on finishing some "gaps in the wall."

Mr. Mayorkas, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times, said Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants to see happen moving forward.

So, after all the talk about how Trump had a racist and inhumane immigration policy, we have Joey Biden’s DHS chief saying he wants to fill the gaps that are present in the border wall. So, let’s see if I have this straight. The Biden administration agrees with Trump on the SALT caps for taxes, will probably keep the lion’s share of the middle-class tax cuts Trump signed into law four years ago, and now could restart border wall construction. He also signed an executive order to strengthen the "made in America" aspect of our goods. Buy American, America first—these are Trump positions.

#5   will crack down on Dem sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE

Too funny, Skidmark. In key ways President Biden sounds ever more like Trump’s second term instead of Obama’s. Apparently yesterday the president announced he’s giving up the idea of vaccination passports.
