Joe Biden said Tuesday that “border walls don’t work”…and at the same time his administration is waiving 26 laws – count ’em, 26 – to build – guess what? Right in one…a border wall.<\/p>\n
According to a notice posted to the Federal Register Wednesday, construction of the wall will be paid for using already appropriated funds earmarked specifically for physical border barriers. The administration was under a deadline to use them or lose them.<\/p>\n
Biden \u2013 who, as a candidate, vowed that there will \u201cnot be another foot\u201d of border wall constructed on his watch \u2013 defended the decision to reporters Thursday, saying that he tried to get the money appropriated for other purposes but was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
Among the laws the Biden administration is bypassing to build the wall are several of the same statutes the administration has in the past moved to protect, including: the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.\u00a0 CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So rather than just not spending the money, Political Hack Joe and company are going to spend it on a project that they decried as recently as the last administration as – help me now – sadistic, hideous, anti-environmental, and a few other choice adjectives. Did I mention child abuse? Think they said that too. So it’s all those nasty things they said…until someone said they would have to give up money. Now they are bending or breaking 26 of their signature feelz-good acts to spend it.<\/p>\n
Bet they are paying full retail for the parts, too. A bit ironic there, too – was only August when they were clearing out leftover Trump wall pieces (identical to the wall they are bu8ilding, based on the pictures) at firesale prices.<\/p>\n
The beams, intended as vertical bollards in the border wall\u2019s 30-foot-tall panels, were sold in five separate lots on average of $212 each. GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of them. Another 13 square structural tubes are to be auctioned off Aug. 23 and Aug. 30, the GovPlanet website says.<\/p>\n
“The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is disposing of the excess border wall materials in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation,” a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesperson said in an email to Fox News Digital on Sunday. “USACE has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials in accordance with standard excess property disposition procedures. USACE stands ready to implement a decision regarding disposition of the remaining materials.”<\/p>\n
GovPlanet, which specializes in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of those beams for about $2 million, according to the Post.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So first they sold $156,000,000 worth for around $2 million, and now they are RESPENDING millions to build another wall. “Here comes the new wall, same as the old wall” or something like that. What’s next, buying new 40 foot containers to donate to Arizona?<\/p>\n
