Team Biden to close border wall gaps near Yuma, Arizona
Despite Joe Biden’s declaration that “not another foot” of wall would be constructed, the Department of Homeland Security authorized a plan to close gaps along the border wall near Yuma, Arizona. The Trump administration had previously begun this project using Department of Defense funds. The effort was stopped despite the area near Yuma, Arizona, being among the busiest crossing areas.
From Fox News:
Biden’s decision to secure the border wall comes after Sen. Mark Kelly, D-AZ, has called on the president to secure the border. Republican lawmakers have made similar calls.
The Biden administration’s quiet approval of the wall’s construction also comes after Biden often used it as a means of contrasting his policies with those of the Trump administration.
In the past, Biden was repeatedly critical of Trump, his border wall, and his immigration policies — which he referred to as “xenophobic” and “racist.”
In an op-ed published in the Miami Herald, Biden specifically wrote that the slogan “build the wall” was “divorced from reality” and a wall “won’t stop the flow of illegal narcotics or human trafficking, both of which come primarily through legal ports of entry.”
“Nor will it stem the numbers of undocumented, most of whom over-stay legal visas,” he added.
During an interview in August 2020, Biden told NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1.”
“I’m going to make sure that we have border protection, but it’s going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. And at the ports of entry — that’s where all the bad stuff is happening,” he added.

After this section of The Wall is finished, when are we going to have a President Eisenhauer-style “Operation Wetback”?
prezzy sniffy creepy musta finally found a contractor that would make sure the Big Guy got his 10%.
Here’s a novel idea. Why don’t we get Homeland Security to do something about the security of the Homeland.
“…provide for the common defence…” Where did I read that?
This should increase the infighting among the
CommunistsDemocrats.Excellent. Excellent.
How about just a wall of Doctors with needles and every illegal crossing gets the China Jab, no choice but turn around and go back. If they get the jab, send them to the District of China, DC!
Not to be too cynical, but I think a lot of this is aimed at bolstering AZ Sen. Mark Kelly’s (Gabby Gifford’s hubby) effort to hold his seat in Nov.
Everybody forgot Kelly was even in office until he popped up with re-election ads. I’m not sure who did less for Arizona, him or McSally.
This isn’t restarting Trumps Wall. No, this is safely re-directing the hundreds thousands of pitiful asylum seekers to the proper entry ports for processing.
It’s for the children!
Ahhh, the irony. Just as sweet- Dem Mayors of Sanctuary Cities are squealing with the feeling, thanks to Texas Gov. Abbott and his bus loads of new arrivals.
Yep. About a week or so ago, I heard that DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has started complaining that homeless shelters are becoming overcrowded with illegal immigrants that have been sent to that city.
Must have met the quota of illegal workers required by Joes handlers. Time to slow the flow and increase the lies in preparation for the mid-term elections.
I will believe they did this after I see the actual wall. And only then.
Next you will be telling me that Obama put kids in cages.
Next, we’ll hear Joke Biteme tell us that he’ll “Orpuff the phugleflump”!
“Not one foot of new wall,” huh? I guess the new sections will be measured in meters. But I’m good with that. Fill in the remaining gaps with a series of interlocking fields of AI-controlled machine gun fires.
Funny how the invasion was just hunky dory with the dementia in chief…. Until DC and Delaware got flooded with bus loads from AZ and TX. NOW it’s a problem since it influences his supporter’s homes.
