Border Wall Construction Resumes Under President Joe Biden

The government confirmed that Joe Biden is resuming construction of Donald Trump's border wall.

The resumed operations will range from repairing gates and roads to filling gaps in the wall that were left following the pause on construction that Biden initiated in January 2021. The wall’s environmental harms have been particularly acute in southern Arizona, where CBP used explosives to blast through large swaths of protected land — including sacred Native American burial grounds and one-of-a-kind wildlife habitats — in service of Trump’s most expansive border wall extensions.

Starting next month, contractors will return to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona to resume work on the wall, senior CBP officials said in a public webinar. In the months since Biden’s pause began, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas approved several so-called remediation projects related to the border wall. The first plan that CBP presented for public comment was in the Tucson sector, the Border Patrol’s largest area of operations and site of Trump’s most dramatic and controversial border wall construction.

In the plans laid out last week, CBP said it would finish drainages and low-water crossings in southern Arizona and in some cases reengineer border wall designs to allow for water flow. Two contracts have already been awarded for work in the state, the agency said, adding that the work in Arizona would include filling “small gaps” in the border wall that remained following Biden’s pause. CBP described similar operations along the border in other states.

When asked if CBP envisioned a day when the barriers might be removed, the agency said it did not.

“At this point in time,” said Shelly Barnes, the environmental planning lead for the Border Patrol’s infrastructure portfolio, “there are no current plans to remove sections of the barrier.”

Trump and Biden want central Americans on the other side of the wall

Great to hear

They aren’t ‘finishing’ the wall. Some places they stopped it completely and gave back the land and canceled contracts. In other places they’re completing sections.

Seems wasteful and pointless. Build it or don’t build it.

A native cannibal that raped and ate their own people

Believe white people that actively destroyed another society’s culture and slandered them to justify genocide, brehs.

You do know that the Mexica subsisted on a largely vegetarian diet, right?

Why wasn't it met with more opposition from democratic leadership?
I guess they found some legal money to finish a wall they had an issue with.....

Where did they find the money ?



Nancy Pelosi in 2019

“For the second time this week, the Courts have resoundingly ruled against the President’s assault on the rule of law, on the Constitution of the United States and on the national security of the American people.

“As the Courts continue to rule, the President’s plan to cancel military construction projects to pay for his ineffective, wasteful wall is clearly illegal, as he is stealing from appropriated funds, an action that was not authorized by constitutional or statutory authority. This action is another deeply disturbing example of the President’s ongoing campaign to negate the separation of powers that is the genius of our Constitution, as he attacks Congress’s exclusive constitutional ‘power of the purse.’

“The President’s plan also would have made America less safe by hurting our military’s strength and readiness by canceling critical initiatives, including those to combat Russian aggression, protect our troops from terrorist threats, safeguard munitions stockpiles and update key bases. It also dishonored our military families: The President said Mexico would pay for his wall – not military families.

“The House will continue to fight the President’s attacks on our Constitution, national security and democracy in the Congress and in the Courts.”
