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. “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,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.

Mayorkas has been saying for years that the border is not open.

Now that the blue cities are being overrun by illegals, he says that a wall is needed...after Biden allowed 6 million illegals to cross.

This is rich.
 
“After years of denying that a border wall and other physical barriers are effective, the DHS announcement represents a sea change in the administration’s thinking: A secure wall is an effective tool for maintaining control of our borders,” Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said in a statement. “Having made that concession, the administration needs to immediately begin construction of wall across the border to prevent the illegal traffic from simply moving to other areas of the border.”

This is rich.

Texas and other border states have been dealing with this illegal invasion for nearly three years.

No hay problema (there is no problem). The more threads on this Biden debacle, the better.

I asked for volunteers from the far left Democratic Socialist loons to house, feed, educate and provide medical care for a few of these illegals...no takers yet.

Were those laws and regulations Biden put in place because he wanted to stop Trump's wall? I thought Democrats said walls don't work. Shows the double standards and hypocrisy of Biden and the Democrat party

This cannot be. You Trumpys say Biden has open borders. He has never had open borders.

Um...Nordy, Biden has open borders...for nearly three years. You can watch them on TV walking...swimming by the tens of thousands every day.

If they weren't open, how did 6 million illegals cross since he took office?

If they weren't open, he wouldn't need a wall now.

Nordy, there are some things that you can't dispute. The facts will not allow it. Biden has painted himself into a corner.

The least that he could do now is to apologize for saying walls do not work and for allowing illegals, drugs, drug gangs, terrorists, human smugglers and sex traffickers to pour into our country. Then he should resign.

Checkmate, Nordy.

From the BBC:

"Around 20 miles (32km) will be built in Starr County along its border with Mexico, where officials report high numbers of crossings.

Building a border wall was a signature policy of Donald Trump as president and fiercely opposed by Democrats.

In 2020, Mr Biden promised he would not build another foot of wall if elected.

His administration passed a proclamation soon after taking office that said building a wall across the southern border "is not a serious policy solution".

In a statement to Associated News on Wednesday night, the US Customs and Border Protection defended the latest move, saying it was using funds already allocated for a border barrier.

"Congress appropriated fiscal year 2019 funds for the construction of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHS is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose," the statement said.

The rising number of illegal border crossings has made the issue a vulnerable one for the president.

More than 245,000 crossings have been made this year, government data shows, and September is expected to be a record month.

Several US cities say they are feeling the strain of the influx.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams predicted the cost of housing the more than 100,000 new arrivals since last year will rise to $12bn over the next three years.

Mr Adams is travelling to Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador this week to discourage migrants from setting out. "We are at capacity," he said on Tuesday.

President Biden's secretary of homeland security referred to an "acute and immediate need" to build the new section of wall and prevent unlawful entries."
