Joe Biden uses $500,000 in federal funds to construct himself a personal border wall: Brandon is all for open borders — except when it comes to the one around his own vacation spot

Border walls? Who needs border walls?

Apparently, only Joe Biden does. The rest of us can go without.

Apparently, only Joe Biden does.  The rest of us can go without.

According to a furious editorial by the New York Post:

President Joe Biden is all for open borders — except when it comes to the one around his own vacation spot.

He's stuck taxpayers with a bill for close to half a million for a security fence around his Delaware beach house, a project ongoing since last September, contracted out to a local builder by the Department of Homeland Security. 

The irony is rich: The same agency Biden has used to help erase the US southern border is overseeing a wall around the president's ocean hideaway.

Yes, presidents need security (especially in these deranged political times). But the nation and the people who inhabit it also need security — as do those who aspire to come here. 

It comes on the heels of news that some five million illegal migrants have crossed into the U.S. on Joe Biden's watch, which is almost a couple of Los Angeleses' worth.  About a tenth of those, according to news reports, are known as "gotaways," foreigners with criminal records, or ongoing criminal business for the most part, who have good reasons from their own point of view, to avoid any contact with the Border Patrol, even with its easy, sure-thing "catch and release" policies.

Any chance a tent city could pop up outside those walls?

This is what it means to have the entire media establishment on your side. You do not have to worry the least bit about optics.

I believe all “Memory Care” facilities are required to safeguard their patients. In other words, keeping Joey contained.

However a Prison would be more appropriate.

Just like he’s funneling all that money from Ukraine to his brother’s bank account..everything with the Biden family is a HUGE money laundering scheme

Should not be allowed. Doing what they want. Mean while my wife just came back from the grocery store and said a pack of hot dogs is almost 7 dollars.

Beach House?

That’s not a beach house.

OH, maybe he considers it to be Jill’s house.

Probably the first big ticket project for the big guy that Hunter Biden hadn't had to rub third world oligarchy elbows as the bagman to pay for himself.

Hunter got a week vacation courtesy of the taxpayer.

Wow, this is the absolutely worst visual imaginable. Using taxpayer dollars to build a personal security fence while ignoring the South Border construction. It’s blatant elitist hypocrisy slapping Americans in their faces.

>> the entire media establishment

Ultimately, it boils down to just a few major players — Comcast, Disney, and not long ago, ATT

A vulgar little man who learned early on how to parasitize productive people.

Gee, what if Trump had done that? Trump worked overtime, never took a vacation and refused the salary.

A $500,000 fence. Really? What is it made of? Platinum?

https://www.howmuchisit.org/game-fencing-cost/

On average, to have a professional install game fencing, the costs can be about $4 to $9 per foot. For larger projects, some contractors may charge by the mile, and this could be as much as $15,000 to $22,000 per mile to install a high, game-based fencing taller than eight feet. The cost will depend on the terrain, the geographical location, if the area needs to be cleared and if a contractor will be involved.

Those who want to do the jobs on their own should plan on spending about $500 to $800 for every 300 feet of galvanized wire. This won’t include the other additional costs such as the concrete needed, tools and land clearing tools.
