Democrats building the wall?

President Joe Biden on Thursday said his administration had no choice but to build about 20 miles more southern border wall -- after he's long dismissed Donald Trump's wall as a waste of money that doesn't work to stop illegal immigration.

The Biden administration is waiving 26 federal laws to make way for unfinished border wall construction in South Texas, according to documents formally published in the federal register Thursday.

The waivers include ones for the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act allow for border barrier construction in select areas of Starr County, Texas.

In explaining the rationale for the move, made amid record numbers of migrants crossing the border, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, "there is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers," even as Biden repeated to ABC Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang Thursday his argument that a wall isn't effective.

Biden pledged during his 2020 presidential campaign against then-President Trump that his administration would not build "another foot of wall." But the Department of Homeland Security is required to use the funds appropriated in 2019 on border barrier construction, a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said in a statement Thursday.

You see two parties play fighting for our entertainment then doing what was predetermined to be done.
