Campaign Promises (lies, lip service, talk is cheap, etc.)

After Promising To Stop Land Seizures, the Biden Administration Just Stole This Family's Property for a Border Wall
Yet he was insistent the decision was already made on the campaign trail. "There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration," he told NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro in August of last year. And the land seizures? "End, end, end, stop, done, over. Not gonna do it. Withdraw the lawsuits. We're out."

Sad, which just goes to show once again there really isn't all that much difference in the two parties.

The Constitution for the State of Texas is rather clear on this issue, but that won't stop the federal government from gobbling up private land.

So did Trump and so did other presidents. You should be used to being lied to.

Trump promised to do it (even though it was mostly hot air).

Exactly...the ironic thing is that certain people will only support the action when their leader is in power. It is no longer about the US it is now about the cult of personality.

Campaign rhetoric is designed to wheedle the electorate into voting for a particular candidate. It has almost nothing to do with probity...

I doubt many pointing out the hypocrisy have a problem with the land being confiscated. They are simply pointing out the failures of the Biden administration. Sure, you can then point out the many failures of Trump but again, two sides of the same coin.

IF one chooses to read, which very few do, one would notice items like the following, from the article


"We are utterly devastated," said Baudilia Cavazos, whose family owns land in Hidalgo County, Texas. "We thought President Joe Biden would protect us. Now we've lost our land. We don't even know what comes next."


The Cavazos clan has fended off similar attempts at confiscation for years. When former President Donald Trump took office, his administration sought to claim about 7 acres and divide their land—which they rent to various tenants—in two. A huge chunk of their property would thus be nearly inaccessible to prospective customers, paralyzing their business.

Because Trump attempted to take their land that makes it OK for Biden to go back on his campaign promise? Is this not why people voted for Biden over Trump?

Certainly is quite a contradiction of the previous admin's "PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!"
