Border wall

Biden is finishing Trump's Wall (at least 20 miles of it)

US President Joe Biden's administration is to build a section of border wall in southern Texas in an effort to stop rising levels of immigration.

Around 20 miles (32km) will be built in Starr County along its border with Mexico, where officials report high numbers of crossings.

Building a border wall was a signature policy of Donald Trump as president and fiercely opposed by Democrats.

In 2020, Mr Biden promised he would not build another foot of wall if elected.

His administration passed a proclamation soon after taking office that said building a wall across the southern border "is not a serious policy solution".

In a statement to Associated News on Wednesday night, the US Customs and Border Protection defended the latest move, saying it was using funds already allocated for a border barrier.

"Congress appropriated fiscal year 2019 funds for the construction of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHS is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose," the statement said.

I'll sit back and wait for all of the protests that were chanting:
NO BORDERS, NO WALLS, NO USA AT ALL! they should be along any minute.

Biden's proclamation in 2021:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/proclamation-termination-of-emergency-with-respect-to-southern-border-of-united-states-and-redirection-of-funds-diverted-to-border-wall-construction/

Like every nation, the United States has a right and a duty to secure its borders and protect its people against threats.  But building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.  It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security.  My Administration is committed to ensuring that the United States has a comprehensive and humane immigration system that operates consistently with our Nation's values.  In furtherance of that commitment, I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border in Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States), was unwarranted.  It shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall.

There will be crickets for 2 reasons:

1) They only screamed that because the media told them to. Anything Trump was doing was to be hated. Period.
2) The media won't cover it, if they do, it will be a backpage story with 3 seconds of air time at 3am to ensure no more than 6 people know about it.

Pure optics. Biden OK's the build of a couple miles of border wall. Then they monitor that section until full election season next year and see crossing at that section drop by xx%. Then Jean-Pierre gets in front of the camera and with a straight face states the border is more secure than ever and crossings are at an all time low. Then the media runs with it and dumbsmits everywhere eat it up hook, line, and sinker.

Are you implying that he's not stating facts?

Predicting is not facts. He's just so negative.

He's being a realist. It's exactly what politicians do.

Maybe. But is what he said unbelievable? You can't say that what he said is absurd and would never happen.
To me it's highly possible that's what they would do.

Actually, last weekend we had belt test day at BJJ. It ended up being 4 hours. I was so hungry that evening that we went out to eat and I had a dinner platter with BBQ chicken quesadillas, Jalapeño smoked sausage, and Nashville hot tenders. Then the next day I was still so hungry we went to Jersey Mikes and I ate half a chipotle cheese steak and half a club supreme. No lack of meat this week!

And as far as lying dems go, once you understand their tactics it becomes pretty evident how they lie, spin and push BS propaganda.
