Spite: Joe Biden would rather let border wall materials rot on the ground than sell them to Texas. To Biden, Texas is Just a Doormat

Joe Biden doesn't want to build a border wall. We all know that he says as much and that he's been captured by the vast open borders industrial complex.

One problem for Joe, though: That dereliction of duty has driven his poll numbers straight into the toilet. His public approval is falling, with disapproval of his handling of the border crisis now at an all-time high. Longtime Democrat Hispanic strongholds in south Texas are now turning red, and the illegals are surging on in.

Amazingly, he doesn't seem to have the wherewithal to fix that problem. He's got a partially built border wall in possession now, and a lot of building materials for it, paid for by U.S. taxpayers for millions of dollars, rotting on the ground, like this is some third-world country that ran out of cash before finishing its project.

Instead of fixing that, and quietly selling the materials to someone else who will finish the wall, he's creating problems:

Here's what Fox News's formidable border correspondent, Bill Melugin, is hearing:

Gov. Abbott told me TX has reached out to the Biden admin to inquire about using/purchasing the massive piles of steel already bought & paid for by US taxpayers for the Trump wall that have been sitting unused since Biden cancelled work. He says theres been no response. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/7NDALghQpf — Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) December 18, 2021

So not only does he not want the wall, the most effective instrument there is for stopping the border surge, he also doesn't want anyone else to build the wall, either. That's like abusive boyfriend behavior, which I wouldn't put past Joe with his sex-harassing and worse history.

As a result, the surge is worse than ever.

Texas doesn't need to "buy" anything.

They're just "storing them" in a different position.

Biden is so petty and spiteful he refuses to sell that huge public relations problem he has of paid-for wall-construction materials rotting on the desert floor for all to see. He could easily get rid of that problem by quietly selling the stuff off to Texas, and letting them build the border wall, a project that would benefit him politically as much as it will the people of Texas. But he’d rather let himself sink than see anything done about the border surge.

SELL? He should be GIVING the materials to Texas to help defend our borders.

To Joe Biden, these places are just a doormat for some kind of bigger Democrat plan to Bring Them In.

Texas got any civil forfeiture laws? Maybe they could finally be put to a good use.

When you consider a wall a 40 foot wide concrete highway set on edge the costs go down. The median behind it might need mowed on occasion, but this is south texas, it dust today, it will be dust next week. The wall is not to stop the people who can scale a 40 foot tall wall, those people are useful circus folks, the wall is tell the crowd marching towards it that the rules really have not changed, but the people on the other side have.

You can no longer take advantage of the state of Texas because the State of CA and NY cannot deal with the fact that legit immigration takes time and money.

Texas should send the illegals to Delaware, Martha’s Vineyard, etc.

Why Abbott and DeSantis aren’t bussing these illegals up to Delaware is baffling to me.

Do the feds have someone standing there guarding the piles?

We need to implement the methods of Ragnar Danneskjold. By the way, my favorite character of the book.

Blocking a physical barrier that actually impedes the invasion is something that has been bipartisan policy for decades.

The head fake Secure Fence Act of 2006 that was never built should have been a clue.
