Biden authorizes completion of Trump wall near Yuma​

PHOENIX — The Biden administration on Thursday authorized completion of the Trump-funded border wall in an open area of southern Arizona near Yuma, where four wide gaps make it among the busiest corridors for illegal crossings. The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that the work to complete the project near the Morelos Dam will ‘better protect illegals who can get hurt slipping down a slope or drown walking through a low section of the Colorado River.’

President Joe Biden halted new border wall construction after he took office but has since made closing the gaps just south of Yuma a priority.

Now listen to what the White House spokeswoman states regarding the completion...
The White House on Friday downplayed its decision to finish construction on a section of former President Donald Trump's border wall near Yuma, Arizona.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the move by Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy during the daily press briefing. Jean-Pierre asserted that President Biden was "not finishing the wall," but rather filling gaps to prevent migrants from attempting dangerous border crossings.
We are cleaning up the mess the prior administration made," said Jean-Pierre. "We are trying to save lives… A border wall is an ineffective use of taxpayer dollars."

HMMM...as she said "A border wall is an ineffective use of taxpayer dollars." so why are they doing it?

So do you Trump haters agree with her.... "border wall is ineffective... and we are not finishing the wall"?
This movie clip I think helps explain the politics involved!

 

[kyzr]

Finishing the wall is a good thing.
I'm not throwing rocks, except to say that's just the first Biden fuckup that needs to be reversed.
Now Joe needs to close the border, and restart the "remain in Mexico" policy.
All of a sudden the sanctuary cities and states realize they have migrants coming out of their ears.

 

[Manonthestreet]

 

[j-mac]

This administration is a pure T clown show.....What a collection of the absolute dumbest people on earth....

 

[Hellokitty]

Um, nice how the FJB administration is only concerned about the safety of illegals, yet doesn't share the same concerned for US citizens safety when it comes to allowing unvetted illegals into the country.

Remember what he said while campaigning...
I would, in fact, make sure that there is, we immediate surge to the border, "

So where is the MSM on the above statement? Zero! Totally shows how these two articles about the biased MSM can NOT be believed and probably why the MSM is not reminding Joe!
But what it should show to those people that have supported the pedophile, the MSM can not be believed! They bet on Hillary and Joe!

The 14 Most Common Arguments against Immigration and Why They’re Wrong​

https://www.cato.org/blog/14-most-common-arguments-against-immigration-why-theyre-wrong?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI483IrLPu-QIVgMLCBB0qLgqmEAAYAiAAEgIzWvD_BwE

Arguments against immigration come across my desk every day but I rarely encounter a unique one. In 2016, I wrote a blog responding to the most common arguments with links to different research. Since then, academics and policy analysts have produced new research that should be included. These are the main arguments against immigration, my quick responses to them, and links to some of the most relevant evidence:

1. “Immigrants will take American jobs, lower our wages, and especially hurt the poor.”

This is the most common argument and also the one with the greatest amount of evidence rebutting it. First, the displacement effect is small if it even affects natives at all. Immigrants are typically attracted to growing regions and they increase the supply and demand sides of the economy once they are there, expanding employment opportunities. Second, the debate over immigrant impacts on American wages is confined to the lower single digits—immigrants may increase the relative wages for some Americans by a tiny amount and decrease them by a larger amount for the few Americans who directly compete against them. Immigrants likely compete most directly against other immigrants so the effects on less‐skilled native‐born Americans might be very small or even positive.

New research by Harvard professor George Borjas on the effect of the Mariel Boatlift—a giant shock to Miami’s labor market that increased the size of its population by 7 percent in 42 days—finds large negative wage effects concentrated on Americans with less than a high school degree. To put the scale of that shock to Miami in context, it would be as if 22.4 million immigrants moved to America in a six‐week period—which will not happen. Some doubt Borjas’s finding and Borjas’s response. Even if the Mariel Boatlift had such a large and negative effect on the wages of native‐born high‐school dropouts in Miami, it had a large positive impact on the wages of natives with only a high school education, to such a degree that the wages of lower‐skilled Miamians actually increased. The rapid recovery of Hispanic wages in Miami also produces some doubt as to Mariel’s effect on native wages as Hispanics were the most likely to suffer wage declines from competition with the new Cuban immigrants. Economists Michael Clemens and Jennifer Hunt have the most devastating response to Borjas: His response was due entirely to a different sample collected in Miami over the years where he observed the wage decline. Thus, the data collectors made Mariel look like it had a large negative wage effect by changing whom they surveyed.

Although some doubt Borjas’s finding regarding Mariel, it is not in doubt that immigration has overall increased the wages and income of Americans. The smallest estimated immigration surplus, as it is called, is equal to about 0.24 percent of GDP—which excludes the gains to immigrants and just focuses on those of native‐born Americans.

Who is against "LEGAL" immigration?
I have a very personal point of interest in this topic as a very close relative went through the laborious and time consuming Naturalization process to become a U.S. citizen.
Gross distinction between my relative and illegals.
As far as a Biden "cudgel" Biden's words "surge to the border" and "There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1," were taken to heart thus causing as of today, In just ONE MONTH:

• In total, there were 207,416 encounters along the southwest land border in June,
• Encounters of unaccompanied children increased 4 percent, with 15,271 encounters in June compared with 14,678 in May.

No one is including MYSELF against people who come to the USA legally and seeks citizenship as my relative has done.

What I am along with millions of logical people are against the gross stupidity of this administration regarding allowing "illegals" WITH COVID cross illegally while if you come in unvaccinated you are not allowed.

Oh and by the way the LIE Biden tells, i.e. "There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1," explain this political position:

Did Mexico pay for it?

Nope because the wall was stopped by Biden who then tells illegals..."surge to the border"! The first step was to stop illegals. Then put on tariffs that
would have paid for the wall. But this idiot Biden not only stops but because YOUR idiot then continues to pay
Biden suspended all construction on his first day in office, leaving unused steel panels and piping at construction sites along the border.
Most estimates place the value of surplus material at $265 million, with some estimates as high as $350 million.

Think about the stupidity! Spend $ 3 million a DAY! For what? The blatant TRUTH is Biden's stupid action was to get back on Trump. That's it!

A 2,000 mile wall is a ridiculous idea anyway.
This is the concept Trump sold to his suckers.
And they fell for it.
Then he told them Mexico was going to pay for it.
And they fell for that too.
Then they wound up having to pay for it....but they didn't mind.
Because no matter how MUCH shit Trump feeds his cultists they'll not only swallow it....they'll thank him for it and ask for an even BIGGER spoonfull next time!
YUM! YUM!

Those of us that know the border have realized all along that there has always been plenty of wall (and other physical barriers up in heavy population centers.
Much of it has fallen into disrepair over the years.
All Biden is doing is revamping ALREADY existing barriers in need of it.
He's NOT promising to build a "Great Wall of China" type monument to himself like that last horse's ass did!

Dumb ass ignorant comment 1...
There NEVER was a f...king plan for a 2,000 mile WALL you idiot!

But, within five years the United States, under the direction of President Bill Clinton, would start building its own border wall at the US-Mexico border. That wall has been under intermittent construction for the past 25 years. It is currently about 800-miles of fortified structure along a 2000-mile border. History of Border Wall — Ay Mariposa Film​

Hey dumb ass... What 2 other presidents donated their salaries to charities as Trump did? You thieving Democrats steal money i.e. Pelosi, Hunter Biden!!!

Speaking of DUMB-ASSES....MAN you really swallowed a BIG spoonfull!
Falling for that "donated salary" lie.

One has to wonder, with your obvious blind, hero worship of the Orange shit-stain, what other bodily excrrtions of his you'd be willing to swallpw if he told you to?

Hmmm......

"Donald Trump reported making more than $1.6 billion in outside revenue and income during his four years as President of the United States, according to a review of his financial disclosures by CREW. While Trump publicly took credit for donating his taxpayer-funded salary, that ended up being less than 0.1% of the revenue and income he disclosed during his presidency. Far from being a sacrifice, the donation was merely a fig leaf to cover up four years of brazen corruption."

Trump-O-Meter: | PolitiFact

www.politifact.com

The Constitution doesn't allow the president to reject his earnings, which originally forced George Washington to accept the first presidential salary, so Trump began donating his salary quarterly in April 2017.
The first $100,000 went to the National Park Service, and since then, he has donated to various federal departments.

Most recently, Trump donated the last two quarters of his 2019 salary and his first quarter of his 2020 salary to the Department of Health and Human Services. The department is working on two issues that Trump designated for the funds: the opioid crisis and COVID-19.
The Associated Press reported on Nov 26, 2019 that Trump's 2019 third-quarter salary went to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health, an operating agencywithin HHS. The funds were earmarked for "the ongoing fight against the opioid crisis."

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted on March 3, 2020, that Trump's 2019 fourth-quarter salary was being donated to the HHS to support the department's efforts to "confront, contain, and combat #Coronavirus." The tweet also featured a picture of Trump's check to the office from January.

The 2020 first-quarter salary donation was mentioned briefly by the press secretary at a press conference on May 22, 2020. McEnany said the first quarter would again be going to HHS, this time to "develop new therapies for treating and preventing COVID-19 so that we can safely reopen."

In a tweet, Judd Deere, the deputy press secretary, confirmed that Trump's first-quarter 2020 salary will be going to HHS for "the development of new therapeutics to treat #COVID19 infections."

So how much have prices increased since Biden let in 2,000,000 migrants who buy food, clothing, and other goods? The Law of Supply and Demand says when demand increases and supply doesn't prices go up.
The wall isn't just about the economy, its also about drug trafficking, human trafficking, and national security, not to mention the influx of cheap labor.
