DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/executive/homeland-security) is citing an "acute and immediate need" to waive dozens of federal laws to build a border wall in south Texas where illegal migration has surged. It's a sharp contrast to dismissals of the use of such barriers in the early days of the administration.

The administration had put a halt to new border wall construction (https://www.foxnews.com/category/topic/border-wall) in early 2021, after Biden had promised as a presidential candidate that there would "not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration." The administration said wall construction under the Trump administration was "just one example of the prior administration’s misplaced priorities and failure to manage migration in a safe, orderly and humane way."

Where to begin .. Someone remind me ; How much cocaine did they find at the White House ?

Flashback January 20,2021 Clueless Joe's proclamation on the first day of his reign .



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.

Almost nothing shocks me about this administration. I expect the worse and they don't disappoint. But this after hours decision shocked me. Neither Clueless Joe and DHS boss Mayorkis made this announcement . They lobbed it and hopes no one is paying attention .

It would too easy to charge hypocrisy. In deciding to go ahead with building a wall in Texas these people who are destroying our economy in their utopian transition to the green agenda is going to waive 26 Federal Laws that either stopped or delayed Trump's wall construction .

These waivers are from :



National Environmental Policy Act
Endangered Species Act
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
American Indian Religious Freedom Act
Federal Water Pollution Control Act
National Historic Preservation Act
Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Migratory Bird Conservation Act
Clean Air Act
National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act
Eagle Protection Act

Your post reminded me of how glad I am that Great T has faded into the dim past of history.

So the latest version is that Clueless Joe says he has no choice but to build the wall. Not because it would stop the invasion , No he still doesn't think walls work However he is blaming Congress . He has asked them to defund the wall . But they haven't deallocated the $$$ for the wall from 2019. So he has no choice you see but to build it with the money already allocated to the project.

The obvious question is what took him so long then ?

The excuse mill is operating overtime now.

Now Mayor Adams is begging NY Supreme Ct Justic Erika Edwards to end NYC's sanctuary city law called 'shelter in place' . He said the law should be void in an emergency. There has been a 159% increase of illegals into NYC since April 2022 .

Ummmm Mayor . The courts don't make the law. Why don't you sit down with the City Council and convince them that the law was a bad idea that could only lead to the crisis the city now faces. You could do that intstead of taking useless junkets to Mexico and Central America to try to convince illegals to stay home . Why don't you tell Clueless Joe that he needs to build the wall (not just 20 miles of wall) ;to hold the cartels in Mexico and Columbia to end the illegal smuggling of the invaders into the county.

Yes I said our "ally" Columbia . They have surrendered to the Clan del Golfo which does both drug smuggling and human trafficking .
They ferry the invaders across the Gulf of Urabá to the town of Acandi . From there it is a short ride to the trail head of the Darien Gap in Panama

It is a big business that Columbian officials willingly participate with the cartel.

Just imagine how easy that route to the US could've been controlled if Jimmy Carter had not given away the Panama Canal zone.

This is the road in Juarez leading to the border. Sure looks like Biden's plan of using high tech security rather than a wall has been something less than a spectacular success.

Great example of fake news. It happened several years ago, but still, how much effort would it have taken for the interviewer (Fox?) to have looked up the COVID mortality rates before asking Trump about it? It's just such a lax approach to the truth that pervades much of the media.
