The Government and Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report on whether the Biden administration violated the Impoundment and Control Act of 1974 by blocking funds intended for construction of the southern border wall, because of a request by House Republicans. While the GAO ultimately cleared the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of violating the law, the report did confirm that DHS used congressionally-appropriated border wall funds for environmental planning and other non-barrier construction.

James Goldman's site has this article of Biden's WH violating the law by not using border wall funds for building the wall. But of course, the GAO whitewashed it.

Trump had to beg for a mere few billions to build the wall. That congress tied the purse. This congress dumped the purse and billions upon billions flow into the world toilet.

Nothing to talk about

Included in the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan funding bill was roughly $4 billion for “migration and refugee assistance,” which is doled out to NGOs operating along the border and tasked with giving funds and travel assistance to illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody. In other words, Johnson isn’t just neglecting the border crisis, he’s actively funding it.

You can thank Speaker Johnson who was endorsed by Trump after allowing the above to be signed into law.

maybe this is the money Biden is using to fly zillions of illegals directly into many USA cities, totally ignoring the border line 30,000 feet below
