The Biden administration announced it waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration's first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry with few details outlining the construction in Starr County, Texas, which is part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing "high illegal entry." According to government data, about 245,000 illegal entries have been recorded so far this fiscal year in the Rio Grande Valley Sector which contains 21 counties.
"There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas," Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.
The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction that will use funds from a congressional appropriation in 2019 for border wall construction. The waivers avoid time-consuming reviews and lawsuits challenging violation of environmental laws.

What a gift to Trump in Next year's election.
In total, President Biden's government will waive 26 federal laws to expedite the process. The decision will ignore environmental protection laws and safe drinking water and clean air laws, as well as restrictions surrounding endangered species. This was made possible by legislation called the Secure Fence Act from 2006. Biden is the first Democrat president to use it.
The pathway for the wall will also go through a wildlife refuge as well as private properties; the federal government will have to buy or seize that land.
In a post to Truth Social, President Trump asked President Biden for an apology.
"Will Joe Biden apologize to me and America for taking so long to get moving, and allowing our country to be flooded with 15 million illegals immigrants, from places unknown. I will await his apology!"
Internal reports released at the same time showed a record number of monthly encounters with illegal immigrants at the southwest land border. The estimated 260,000 aliens were enough to push the fiscal year total for 2023 over 2.466 million, an all-time annual high.
The border saw 2.378 million illegal encounters in 2022, while 2021 was significantly lower at 1.734 million. President Trump's last year in office saw comparatively low numbers, with just over 458,000 for all of 2020.
"There is presently an acute and immediate need..." - a need so acute that Biden does all this sounds like something beyond mere immigration.

Shows how fucked-up democrat strategists are:
"To defeat Trump we must try to become more Trump-like."
...as if in that scenario people aren't just going to vote for the real thing anyway.
I swear they want Trump to win.
The only alternative explanation that makes sense is that they're all complete imbeciles.

I meant the strategists, consultants, and party leadership; the people who are supposed to be smart, well-educated, and experienced in these matters but I see your point.
If people take their cues from other people who are imbeciles or are doing a damn fine imitation of being imbeciles naturally at least some of that stupidity is going to get transmitted along with the talking points and other propaganda.

The reality is the open borders issue, which Democrats in general and the Biden admin specifically caused, is killing them in polls. They are not really interested in solving the problem they created, if they did they would change the asylum rules Biden changed on the first day in office but they have not. The Biden admin just wants to be seen as trying to do something without actually changing the core problem.
As for how Dems expect to win... They expect to continue to weaponize the legal system to unfairly jail their main opposition candidate. That is all they have so they are inventing any excuse they possibly can knowing full well most will get tossed out upon appeal even if convicted by a partisan jury. The thing is that won't happen until after the election.

The Antifa Communists knowingly lie for their cause. They are not misinformed; they just constantly lie and only care about destabilizing society in hopes it makes a totalitarian communist revolution more likely.

I posted in another thread how the Dem party has become so extreme. Their satellite political affiliates like Antifa are a prime example of the Khmer Touge type tactics.
The migrant situation is caused by what it's always been caused by...
...USA and the west's policies toward central and south america.
The sanctions, and the coups, and the destabilization, and the corruption, and the exploitation. All of it aimed directly at the average citizens- not the governments. It's a fucking crime against humanity.
We create the conditions in those countries that make people want to (or even need to) leave and then want to act surprised when they show up at our border? The fuck outta here.
We've been sanctioning the absolute shit out of Venezuela and destabilizing their society for years (not as long as we've been doing those things to Cuba but still...) because we don't like their government. Yet when the corporate media reports about a group of migrants headed here from that country they always leave that part out. How convenient.
Want to end mass migrations?
Stop turning those countries into places where people can't fucking live.
It really is that simple.

No, Venezuela caused their own problems. We should have assassinated their commie government or at least armed their people. Mexico has always been a shit country because they have a shit people willing to tolerate a shit government.
America didnt get the upper hand by chance. Its because we had a superior people and a superior form of government. Now that both are shit tho, we are moving closer and closer to becoming a terd wurld. Our middle class has been decimated, just like every country south of us. I guess thats progress.
I'd also like to point out that France destabilized english rule in the colonies and the USA wouldnt have existed without that policy. Meddling in another countries government can and should be a good thing.

Venezuela and Cuba were once 1st world countries.
Then the Left took over.
Now they are both shitholes.
It has nothing to do with past US Policies and everything to do with Leftist ideology and the inherent pussiness of the people who live there.

I hear leftists make that excuse over and over but it holds no water or at least very little. No, Nicaragua or El Salvador isn't screwe because the U.S. intervened 100+ years ago to make them pay their debts. It is screwed up because of bad decisions people in those countries made and continue to make. The leftist lie that brown skinned Latins are inferior, have no agency, that everything must be the fault of whitey is just a false troupe entirely based up racist beliefs on the left as well as lack of real knowledge.
