The Biden administration is still seizing land along the U.S. southern border for Donald Trump’s border wall despite announcing that he was not going to finish it.
The administration insists they’re in the midst of a “review of federal resources to build the wall” and are allowing Trump-era court cases to proceed, including land seizure cases. That review was supposed to be concluded 60 days after Biden’s inauguration — March 20. The president made the announcement of the wall cancellation with great fanfare and publicity. And yet land has continued to be seized.
“I’m … very, very disappointed in Joe Biden. I thought he was a man of his word but apparently, he’s not keeping his word,” Reynaldo “Rey” Anzaldua Cavazos, a member of the family whose land was taken, told Politico. “He said not one more foot of wall and no land forfeitures. We took him at his word and we want him to keep his word.”
Despite Biden’s promise to quickly reverse Trump’s immigration policies, he has yet to act on many of them — from failing to increase the cap on refugees to rescinding a ban on most migrants at the southern border. But fewer issues carry as much symbolic weight as the border wall. And his actions there threaten to further complicate his pledge to offer a kinder, gentler immigration system where everyone is welcome.
“They can have all the excuses they want but it’s real dicey to look at what they’re doing right now,” said a person who consults with the White House on immigration policy who has grown frustrated. “It’s a lot of stuff Trump was doing.”

Tax, spend and steal. They can’t help it. It’s in their DNA.
So no one else can build it ?
I don’t know why but I’m ok with it.
Well in keeping with the democommie play book, promises made, promises deinied.
Because that’s the way they are.
To prevent anyone else, like the State Of Texas, from building on it.
Why would anyone believe with Presiden Xiden says? He is not the real President.
Exactly what I was thinking.
1. A Democrat crony evidently need$ it.
2. Never let a crisis go to waste.
That was going to be my comment!
Anything Biden and his commie thugs do will hurt the American people. Maybe he’s buying land to make sure no one can ever build a wall on it...
Thanks for your vote “Rey”, now get the hell off government land.
That was my thought as well.
Who knows but the Feds might establish a “Welcome to America” theme park along the border.
Left hand does not know what right is doing.
To keep other people from building a wall there
Remember Biden’s motto: “A Failure now, a Failure then, a Failure in the Hearts of All Americans!”
They will build the wall. When they have enough voters in country to keep power, then they will build it.
Only it will be to keep people in with the guns pointed inwards. Like the Berlin Wall/East-West Germany.
There is nothing stopping Texas from building a second wall that is set back 1/8th mile from the border. Cheap, easy and dual use.
They could make the wall wide enough for 2 opposing lanes and call it a "highway" and get federal grants for it. It could be made of two concrete panel walls with rammed earth between them.
