EXCLUSIVE: Biden Spending Millions per Day to Halt Border Wall Construction
EXCLUSIVE: Biden Spending Millions per Day to Halt Border Wall Construction (breitbart.com)21 Mar 2021 ~~ By Randy Clark
The pause on construction of the border wall costs taxpayers about six million dollars per day while construction sites sit idle, Breitbart Texas learned from a senior Department of Homeland Security official. On Sunday, March 21, the 60-day pause in construction of the border wall is scheduled to end.
According to the source, the expenditures are required for materials orders placed before the pause and expenses for the cost of equipment sitting idle. When the issuance of a stop work order causes a contractor to idle equipment, they are entitled to be compensated for rental expenses or costs of ownership.
Shortly after taking office, President Biden signed an executive order temporarily halting any further progress on the border wall so individual contracts could be evaluated. With the exception of “make-safe” activities at the worksites, construction projects immediately came to a standstill, Breitbart Texas reported. The end of the 60-day pause does not, however, signal an automatic restart of construction.
Early in the pause, a spokesperson for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) informed Breitbart Texas that contractors would be informed of a final decision sometime after the 60-day pause concludes. The time was to be used for evaluating each contract to reach a decision to terminate-for-cause or continue.

As the deadline looms for a decision to be reached, equipment still sits idle. In Eagle Pass, Texas, a 51.9-million-dollar fence contract hangs in the balance. The equipment gathers dust and the contractor still awaits a decision. Other problems appearing along the border may be taking precedent over the status of the border wall contracts.
In recent days, the Secretary of DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas has said “We are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years,”. In addition to the surge of migrants that are being apprehended along the border, a significant amount of illegal migrant traffic is also avoiding arrest. The administration was also not prepared for the onslaught of unaccompanied children crossing the border as policy changes were being made.
Comment:
We have a usurping administration that's dismantling our national sovereignty at the border that President Trump wanted to secure with the border wall. and sacrificing our National Security...
The amount of damage Chyna Joey Xi and his handlers have done in less than 100 days is stunning.
For decades this corrupt government has watched this issue develop into a cancer now threatening the existence of the country. Both Rpolitical Parties did nothing to protect the citizens and border from this invasion to the point where these city dwellers mostly elect enemies of this nation. The existence of the country is in peril but still no opposition from the irrelevant cowardly congressional Republicans. The only person who held this cancer in check was Trump being the courageous and decent man that he is. The only way the party of darkness was to gain power was to steal an election. These people will purposely destroy the last little bit of a country we have left within the next 2 years.
