resident Joe Biden on Friday dismissed criticism of his decision to start rebuilding Donald Trump's border wall, shruggin off anger by repeating his argument that he had no choice.
'Oh, the wall thing, is that what you're talking about?,' Biden said when asked why his party didn't reappropriate the funds when it controlled Congress.
'Yeah. I was told I had no choice. Congress passes legislation to build something, whether it is an aircraft carrier, wall, or provide for a tax cut, I can't say I don't like it.'
Many Democrats are furious with the president for resuming construction on the border wall, calling it hypocritical and a play for votes in the 2024 election.
Rep. Nanette Barragán, the head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, pointed out that 'this decision is not in line with the current Administration's commitments to end border wall construction.'
And former Housing Secretary Julián Castro said it was a 'flip flop.' He accused Biden of making a play for votes in the 2024 election.
'This is responsive to the pressure, especially the attacks from Republicans that Biden has gotten, that I think he and his team are probably afraid is making him seem too soft on immigration,' Castro said Thursday night on MSNBC.
'And so they're taking a political gamble here. And the gamble is that by basically what they think of as moving to the middle on immigration and seem harsher and seeming harsher on it, that they're going to gain more votes in 2024 than they'll lose from unenthusiastic progressives or allies.'
A Gallup poll this summer found that most Americans believe the crisis on the border is a problem: 39% think it's a 'crisis,' 33% a 'major problem,' and 22% a 'minor problem.

No mention in the article of Biden claiming to have designed the Great Wall of China.
To be honest, I’m a little disappointed.
Every libtard in the country should have a houseful of illegals
‘Oh, the wall thing,”
Millions of illegals, crime and drugs, and that’s his response.
Just unfathomable that this shell of a man is actually POTUS.
Is there and doubt anymore that the Obama political machinery is Biden’s master?
Pure political theater. These Democrat Marxist always toe the part line. The idea they will ever “rebell” is total nonsense
The man’s an idiot. He’s also a lying, crooked idiot.
Biden has been told and his administration has to break two dozen laws to build the wall. This is all theater. The wall is not being built to keep wetbacks out. It is being built to funnel them to ports of entry where they can be processed and receive IDs, working papers, cash assistance, health insurance, free transportation to a choice destination and housing. It is ALL about facilitating the invasion and breaking the backs of hardworking American citizens, err I mean subjects.
"'Oh, the wall thing': Biden dismisses fury and insists he was 'told he had no choice' but to start constructions as Democrats accuse him of 'flip-flopping' and being 'cruel'"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Biden now has politically correct bragging rights to say that he's closed the border, regardless if it actually gets closed or not.
In May, under McCarthy, the House passed a bill called "Secure the Border Act".
It went to the Senate and they are working it through.
The White House said..in a letter...that Biden will NEVER sign it. I'll post that letter and the text of the Act...It's very comprehensive.
The devil made him do it.
No.
So who is the hand up Charlie McCarthy’s, em, back???
It’s just a show, a pretense to take the wall off the table in ‘24 election.
Allowing 7 million foreign asshos into America and letting them start demanding to be treated like Hollyweird Elites is what is “cruel”. If the RATS feel sorry for those invaders, they should each be required to take four or five of them home with them. Americans deserve better from their government than the sh** sandwiches we’re getting. It’s time to start indicting the Demented Pedophile and anyone who is related to him or anyone who associates with him. To include that punk crackpot in the Ukraine.
My posts at 15 & 17 tell what’s really going on.
Give it time. He’s saving it for when he goes on the road. He’ll tie it in with Corn Pop, the bad dude, somehow.
Sounds like a few busloads of illegals need to be sent to Rep. Nanette Barragán‘s and Julián Castro’s neighborhoods. Both their home district neighborhoods and their DC neighborhoods. Right by their houses or condos so that they can hear the weird polka music being blasted in the middle of the night and they have to wade through the trash that accumulates.
