Trump was right again! The Biden White House announced it’s waiving 26 federal laws to complete aspects of Trump’s border wall in South Texas along the Rio Grande Valley Sector. Unsurprisingly, no Democrats have called Biden’s plan to finish Trump’s wall construction racist. This was hardly the case when Trump first announced border wall construction.
The summary of Biden’s announced plan to continue Trump’s border wall construction read, “The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas.”
During the 2020 election, Biden informed voters from his basement that “there will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, not 1.” This turned out to be a major lie, just like most of Biden’s 2020 election statements.
Biden in 2020: “There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, not 1.”
Now Biden says he will build the wall. How many times has Biden lied to voters? The number has to be extremely large.

Biden wasn’t the only prominent Democrat to criticize Trump’s wall. In 2018, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi called funding for Trump’s wall “immoral, ineffective and expensive. ”
In 2018, when speaking about Trump’s border wall funding, current House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries called Trump the “grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
The same year, Senator Elizabeth Warren referred to Trump’s wall as a “monument to hate and division.”
Also in the same year, Chuck Schumer told Trump, “You will not get your wall.”
None of these Democrats have criticized the Biden administration’s decision to continue border wall construction.
The good news about Biden resuming Trump’s wall construction is that if current polling holds and Trump is reelected president, he will have fewer regulatory loopholes to continue construction on his border wall.
