During the presidential campaign, Joe Biden and his Democratic cults endlessly bashed President Trump over building the border wall.
In fact, Biden told NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro during an interview at that time: “There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1.”
To make it even worst, after he was installed in the office, he followed up on that promise and ceased all new border wall construction. He also told Congress to cancel the wall’s construction funding. But he is only permitted to pause border construction projects. He cannot cancel the project.
“The Biden administration’s flat refusal to use funds that have already been set aside by Congress to build the border wall is not only illegal and unconstitutional. It’s also wrong,”said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
But things have changed now, Biden was slapped with his own hypocrisy and quietly reversed course and gives the nod to fill in gaps at the U.S.-Mexico border near Yuma, Arizona.
On Thursday, Biden gangs approved plans to finish the wall near Yuma under the guise of “safety concerns” for illegal immigrants.
Four gaps that have made Yuma one of the busiest corridors for illegal immigration crossings on the border will now be filled, according to Fox News.
The plan was authorized by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. But it is a plan that began during the Trump administration.

The administration has been trying to downplay the decision.

But social media speculation continues, with many pointing to Biden’s low approval numbers among Hispanic voters as motivating the decision.
The Biden Administration knows Mexican people are now supporting Trump… So magically, they just approved to restart construction of the border wall in AZ.

Others point to the unpopularity of Biden’s national security policies and how they endanger Democrat politicians who face tight races this fall.
NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly, who’s facing a tough re-election bid, touted his role in getting Biden to fill gaps in the border wall despite having voted against legislation aiding the barrier in the past

The influx of migrants being bused to D.C. to live among those responsible for creating border chaos could also play a role in Biden’s change of heart. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has asked Biden to intervene as the influx of illegals is making her job more difficult.

Interestingly, mainstream media outlets seem to have suddenly seen the light when it comes to the actual function of a wall. Yes, walls provide security and help keep people safe.
Biden’s border walls “will better protect migrants who can get hurt slipping down a slope or drown walking through a low section of the Colorado River,” according to NBC News.
But people on social media noticed more than a slight discrepancy in the way news about the border wall was framed under President Trump.
In 2020, NBC News said “President Trump’s border wall endangered ecosystems and sacred sites.” But on Friday, they said closing the gaps in the wall “won’t be much of a deterrent,” according to Arizona environmentalist Myles Traphagen who has been “mapping ecological damage left by border wall construction” under former President Trump.
Quite the different framing here. pic.twitter.com/gAOWg6LIhL
