The first thing Joe Biden did when he took office was to stop building President Donald Trump’s border wall and change Trump’s border policy.
Not only did Joe’s method fail completely, but with the influx of illegal aliens, the number hit a record high, and it paid a huge price to stop the wall.
Trump built the 450-mile wall, but now, Biden is actually paying a lot of money not to build the wall — suspending the wall’s construction projects — even if immigrants flood in.
A report by the minority staff of the Government Operations and Border Management Subcommittee of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee found that the Department of Defense’s efforts to suspend or terminate the wall construction project cost between US$1.8 billion and US$2 billion, while the government is spending US$3. Millions a day.
“These interim investigation results show that the Biden administration’s efforts to prevent the construction of the border wall constitute a major waste of taxpayer resources,” the report said. “As of the time of drafting this report, the Biden administration has paid at least US$2 billion to the border wall contractor and has no plans to build the border wall.”
“The $2 billion comes directly from the budget of the Department of Defense, and the continued waste of these funds by the Biden administration poses a risk to national security and border security,” it said.
Initially, it was actually $6 million per day, but they reduced this number through layoffs. According to the report, the money is now mainly used to allow contractors to “drive to the project site and protect unused steel and other construction material pallets.” The report also shows that this number may be seriously underestimated, and they may actually spend more taxpayers’ money in such ridiculous efforts.
Imagine the madness of the United States under Biden’s leadership. He refuses to really do his job, stops what he is doing, and now even pays a lot of money to stop the influx of people. If you tell someone that a US leader would do something like this a few years ago, no one will believe you. This is how far the Democratic Party and Biden have taken us.
Oh, by the way, you really have no right to know this. Pentagon spokesman Chris Mitchell told Fox News that they would not comment on all this. He said that we “will not comment publicly on ongoing litigation or settlement discussions.”
The subcommittee’s chief Republican senator and Oklahoma Republican senator James Lankford lashed out at the findings of the Biden administration.
He said in a statement: “The Americans paid the contractor to take care of the metal door that President Biden refused to install. This is absolutely absurd, because he wanted to’study’ the wall.” “Stubbornly refused to spend and was approved. The money to build the wall is not an “enforcement” of the law. It ignores the law, and ignores the very real national security issues caused by illegal entry into our very open southern border. For many years, I have been calling for federal waste, but the Biden administration actually The above is using this kind of nonsense to “bankrupt”.” [….]
“Our border patrol agents are doing their best to protect our borders, but they need additional barriers, roads and technology to help us stay safe,” Lankford said. “On the contrary, President Biden is paying up to $2 billion in nanny metal fees to professional construction contractors, and this number is increasing. At the same time, we have seen a large number of immigrants crossing our open borders for 20 years. “
Most importantly, the Department of Homeland Security also announced that they will cancel the 30-mile construction originally planned in the Laredo area of Texas.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is trying to finish the remaining wall by himself, As we reported earlier, Given the failure of the federal government.
But it’s hard to imagine someone causing more damage than Joe Biden in such a short period of time.
