    In a classic example of too slow and too late... Biden seems to be recognizing that he has created a border problem- Or, that he needs to do something to deflect the endless critical news reports. Compromise, trying to appear like he gives a damn to deflect the critics. Notice this is limited to Texas; it's obviously not intended to stop the invasion, just move more of it to the other border states.

    Biden Waives 26 Federal Laws to Allow South Texas Border Wall Construction
    Thursday, 05 October 2023 06:56 AM EDT

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

    Looks like another Biden Lie -->

    "There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1," he told NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro during an interview with journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists..

    His lies have become so common, it's part of his routine. But yeah, he's telling the truth about his role in Hunter Biden's "business dealings". It's just everything else he's lying about. Weatherman Joe. Frankly as a Democrat, it's embarrassing to watch what is taking place.

    Well, it beats letting your buddy Bannon embezzle all the money earmarked for wall construction, eh?

    It’s all BS. It’s a whole 20 miles. NOTHING! Add to that the fact that Biden has removed the electric surveillance and sold off the wall materials for pennies on the dollar, and you have a political sham. Democrat political theater.

    The funny part is some empty headed progressives are PO’d because they think Biden has gone back on his word.

    And a classic example of too little too late. This is ALL on Biden and Harris and they BOTH need to go and be replaced by someone who will give EVERY effort to securing our borders and expelling all those who crossed illegally back to their home countries even it if means dumping on the grounds of their embassies here and telling them to take care of them.

    But let me guess he and the Dems and the MSM will somehow blame the long stoppage in the construction of the walls on Trump and MAGA and Reps.

    Oh? Ok...:bored:
    Obviously, and AGREED.:flagus:
    Sounds like it may be time to cease being "Democrat"?
    Besides, it is a well-accepted fact that Biden's critics fit in much better with the MAGA Republicans.
    Might be time to "get in where one fits in"?
    Nothing personal, of course. Just a friendly suggestion.
    Now, back to the actual topic of the wall:
    Good to see Biden trying to put a lid on a problem that he inherited from the previous administration.
    Good to see Biden finally try to put a lid on Trump's Open Borders Policy.

    Does this decision signal that democrats believe that they have successfully imported enough demographic change to affect elections cycles for the foreseeable future? Is this an admission that yes, the flood masked the very disgusting practice of democrats to engage in human trafficking and slavery?

    Could be. I heard this morning that the number of illegals Biden has allowed into the country exceeds the individual populations of 38 states. If Biden can get them out of New York and California and herd them to Florida and Texes, his strategy will have succeeded. All he needs to do is flip Texas and the Democrats will have perpetual control of the Whitehouse.

    It's sad that democrats never expected hispanic/latino folks to not like their politics.... Could all of this back fire on these virtue signaling A holes?

    lol…that’s 16 miles more than your orange dotard ever accomplished.
    Bannon stole the rest of the money raised for building the wall.

    Lol, this whole thing is such a sham. This entire border crisis was manufactured by both parties. Its like with wars, both parties alternate their stances on things, dragging their constituents right along by the puppet strings. They always come up with reasons on why they now have the same view as the other party before, and vice versa for the other party.
    It is so obvious that they are both the same party, and we are all being played. Democrat or Republican, its all the same thing.
    Voting 3rd party is the only way to get our democracy back. The 2 party system have everything rigged, because in reality it is a one party system.

    Or just increase crime and violence and diverting funds away from citizens to all these new voters. Is the end-game just our total destruction getting rich off the system then moving away to other countries after you've stripped the US of everything worthwhile?

    "I'll answer one question on the border wall, the border wall where money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money," Biden said. "They didn't. They wouldn't. And in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can't stop that."

    When asked by a reporter if he believes a border wall works, Biden said "no."

    Sounds plausible, and walls generally don't work in that large an area..

    More wasteful Republican spending... all Joe and Mayorkas can do is pick where.... I'll assume whereever they picked is is the best area to build this monument to ineffective solutions.

    Vote D.... Today, tomorrow, and forever... unless something truly better comes along...

    What?

    I thought the wall was finished long ago and Mexico had paid us back.

    Trump had 4 years to build it.

    If you're a Democrat, hate to tell you this, but you suck at it.... I've never been a Democrat and I'm a better Democrat than you.

    As to that quote, it was ill advised. What he should have said, and probably meant anyway, was my administration will not fund building another foot of wall....

    Oh well... I hate absolutism in all forms...

    Trump would have been such a good POTUS if it hadn't been for the Democrats.

    It's as if he's never responsible for anything.

    He’s trying to cover that by saying the Trump administration and Republicans forced him to desk his promise.

    “Read my lips no new taxes.” That broken promise cost Bush a second term.
