Mayorkas cites ‘immediate need’ to waive regulations, build border wall in Texas as immigration surges

[excalibur]

Wait, what?

And Biden recently sold for pennies on the dollar material for a border wall bought while Donald Trump was President.

​

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas 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 agency posted an announcement on the U.S. Federal Register that outlines construction in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, where the administration says there is "high illegal entry." The agency says there have been over 245,000 migrant encounters in the sector this fiscal year.​

​

Mayorkas says he is using his authority provided by Congress to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act.​

​

"There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102(a) and 102(b) of [the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996]," Mayorkas said.​

​

The administration had put a halt to new border wall construction 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."​

​

However, the construction is funded by the fiscal year 2019 DHS appropriations bill, which specifically funded wall projects in the RGV Sector and which DHS is required to use for its appropriated purpose.​

Seems the Mexican government has been providing transportation of those in the South going North.

How embarrassing. It's like watching monkeys fucking a football.

The gummint should never be run by people that like to fuck kids. They're mutually exclusive subsets of human shit.

/----/ Dementia Joe knows he's running against Trump in 2024, and border security will be the #1 topic. Joe needs to get it off the table.

What changed his mind?

 

[Blaster]

The White House Press Secretary is blaming House Republicans for withholding funding for the border wall.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

There is something that stinks to high heaven about this, and it's not just the fact that the left has been opposed to walls in the past. There is some sort of devious ulterior motive. There always is with Democrats.

Good point! If the border is secure, then why do they need to build a wall?
