Biden backtracks, restores border wall construction, claiming it's to 'plug holes'
American Thinker ^ | 04/07/2021 | Monica Showalter

As a president, Joe Biden is a mess, always wrong on every foreign policy decision, as Bob Gates used to say. One of his biggest, among many, is his hideous decision to halt construction of President Trump's border wall, which has since led to hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring in. Being Incompetent Joe, he didn't see it coming.

Now, old Joe's got no choice but to backtrack. According to the Washington Times:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told department employees he may restart border wall construction to plug what he called “gaps” in the current barrier.

In a conversation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees last week Mr. Mayorkas was asked about his plans for the wall and he said that while President Biden has canceled the border emergency and halted Pentagon money flowing to the wall, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing some “gaps in the wall.”

Mr. Mayorkas, according to notes of the ICE session reviewed by The Washington Times, said Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants to see happen moving forward.

“It’s not a single answer to a single question. There are different projects that the chief of the Border Patrol has presented and the acting commissioner of CBP presented to me,” the secretary said.

Which is pretty pathetic. All he had to do was check his urge to issue that executive order and find out what would happen, and listen to the findings. He didn't do any of that. Like a crazy old man, he just couldn't resist whipping out that pen and that phone. With the backtrack, he now looks like a third-world clown dictator. Hugo Chavez used to be like that.

REMEMBER WHO RAISED THEIR HANDS DURING THE DEMOCRAT's DEBATE WHEN ASKED, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF GIVING FREE HEALTHCARE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS?

All of them are in government still.

Instead of setting into a place a plan for orderly migration, Slo Joe happily assured illegals first that all comers were welcome, complete with free health care, dating from his political campaign. When the surge began in November and December, it took him till January to state that his goodie program would only apply to illegals who arrived before Jan. 1. Once in office, he got out his pen and his phone, halting border wall construction and praising himself as "more humane" in his policy, particularly with regard to children traveling alone.

Here’s how I see this
Biden will say Trump didn’t finish what he promised on the wall which caused this immigration crisis, I’m going to go ahead and finish what Trump failed at and solve the crisis...and the LEFT will cheer wildly.

There has to be a fig leaf for the Bush League Republicans to use to vote for amnesty.

RE: Biden will say Trump didn’t finish what he promised on the wall

NOPE, can’t let him get away with that. Trump WANTED to finish the wall but he was BLOCKED and RESISTED and SUED IN COURT by Pelosi and the Democrats. Little to no money was given to build the wall and it is a wonder that the project even started at all.

Had the Democrats gotten their way, there would have been NO WALL.

He's so dumb, Biden hasnt yet figured out, WE THE PEOPLE, KNOW he and the Democraps have lost control of our country.
That means more razor wire around the Capital to protect the scalawags from we, the people.

Biden's stupidity has made America a two class structure, replicating the Communist ideal:
<><> (1) "our betters"----Dem Party/Oligarchs/Celebs etc.....
<><> (2) we the people, the obedient low class workers.

"Our betters"-----the Dem elites-----allow more children to pour across the border, and as wealth is redistributed, we move closer to Marxist utopia.
Progs/libs/Dems are destroying wealth with frivolous debt; the value of working class holdings produce more and more tax and inflation victims.

Also, open borders gives predators a huge supply of children to molest.....for Biden, Epstein, Clinton, Weiner, the Hollywood elite, etc.

=================================================

POINTS TO PONDER----AMERICANS KNOW BIDEN'S P/C STUPIDITY HAS RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF OUR COUNTRY

<><>Cuba Summons Biden Envoy to Complain About ‘Flagrant’ Human Rights Abuses in U.S
<><> Communist Cuba’s complaints follow those of Communist China.

In Alaska, China's senior CCP official Yang Jiechi, b****-slapped the US and lacerated Biden’s top diplomat,
the spineless Secy of State Antony Blinken, saying "the US is not qualified to speak to China from a position of
strength because of its own alleged wrongdoings."

Biden is relegated to ruling with force and fear, not w/ the required consent of the governed....thanks to his worship of "P/C wokeism."

Every move Biden makes is (A) to make every Biden family member filthy rich and (b) to assure China he is still in abject obeisance to them.

He's so dumb, Biden hasnt yet figured out, WE THE PEOPLE, KNOW he and the Democraps have lost control of our country.

That means more razor wire around the Capital to protect the scalawags from we, the people.

Only massive political blowback and abysmal polling numbers could get them to actually resume a real Wall Program, of any sort.

The “gaps in the wall” are mostly the places where heavy construction vehicles have to go through to work from both sides of the wall until that segment is complete. Leaving them open and unguarded with no advance warning gave cartels, etc. places come through.

Instead of explaining this, the dishonest media will make it seem that Trump just left openings here and there for no reason.

He will install some cameras while invaders pour in through the holes.

Trump inherited a crisis and solved it.

**********************************************
Possibly... at least partially. More likely the polling on the border situation must be absolutely HORRENDOUS for Biden and the DemocRATS. With the 2022 elections only about 1 1/2 year away, the ‘RATS figured they had to do something soon. And they know it won’t be long before some of this current crop of border skippers to become involved in murders and robberies of American citizens.
