And so it is that President Joe Biden is doing the unthinkable: he is building The Wall. The border wall that he and legions of other sanctimonious, dimwit Democrats decried as racist and xenophobic and inhumane when President Donald Trump was building it.
"During the Trump administration, about 450 miles of barriers were built along the southwest border between 2017 and January 2021. ... The DHS decision on Wednesday contrasts the Biden administration's posturing when a proclamation to end the construction on Jan. 20, 2021 stated 'building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.'"
To shine a light on this crisis, Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, just visited Eagle Pass, Texas, where, in just two days, 7,500 illegal migrants had flooded the town of 28,000. You can hear more on this on the new episode of my podcast, "What's Bugging Me." Sadly, Eagle Pass is left out of the new DHS plan. The construction will start in Starr County, part of the 21-county Rio Grande Valley Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol. Eagle Pass lies in Maverick County, part of the Del Rio Sector.
The crisis at the Texas border is so bad that DHS has waived 26 federal laws to let construction begin. This includes the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Noise Control Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, and on and on.
