The Biden administration will resume construction of the southern border wall, Fox News confirms, as the immigration crisis continues to spiral out of control.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers will restart construction on a 13.4 mile stretch of the wall in the Rio Grande Valley. The decision reportedly follows pressure from local residents and politicians to mend the incessant crossing surge.
Priority repairs of the wall are set to begin in six weeks, followed by the establishment of a concrete levee wall fit with safety barriers in six to nine months.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained in a statement that repairs will "protect border communities from physical dangers" left in the wake of the Trump administration's wall construction.
One of President Biden’s first executive orders once taking office immediately halted all border wall construction, and since his January 20 inauguration, the migrant surge has worsened, as the number of illegal crossings continues to skyrocket and holding facilities have threatened public health in the midst of a pandemic.
According to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), there were a total of 178,622 migrant encounters in April 2021, marking the highest monthly total in 20 years.

Headline should be. Biden only 5 years behind Trump. How long before he thinks it would be a good idea to be a net oil producer again?
I can’t wait for the twits to savage him.
Biden is doing his damndest to destroy the USA by all means available, and if he even understands what he is doing, he lies. Probably just does what they tell him to do.
“Probably just does what they tell him to do.“
He (Biden) is probably lucky if he even gets to pick what he eats for lunch.
The extreme leftists and TDS addicts are going to flip out.
Biden group will either ignore the squabbling or remind them “You guys are stuck with us for the next few years, so get used to being served Sh*t sandwiches. Have a nice day!”
Not the Babylon Bee?
The real President of the United States would never have stopped building it in the first place.
Based on the article, it sounds like they’re not actually building any more of the wall; they’re making repairs to the levees and portions of the wall. That’s a misleading headline.
“Priority repairs of the wall are set to begin in six weeks, followed by the establishment of a concrete levee wall fit with safety barriers in six to nine months.”
And in the mean time, the invasion continues.
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained in a statement that repairs will “protect border communities from physical dangers” left in the wake of the Trump administration’s wall construction.”
So now this is still all Trump’s fault! ESADJB.
Surprised that the Dems aren’t building more bridges over the Rio Grande so illegals don’t get their feet wet when crossing our Southern Border.
That’s 30% of the state of Wyoming.
Mods excuse my French
But Effing Incredible
will “protect border communities from physical dangers” left in the wake of the Biden administration’s idiocy.
There. Fixed it.
Had to repost. My sentiments exactly...’cept no profanity.
I think he wants to destroy the country as we knew it.
In other words, the America-Hating Socialist Democrats met their ‘quota’ of diseased illegals, drug mules and human traffickers sooner than expected!
Hasn’t this been a GLORIOUS ‘First Hundred Days,’ Comrades?
*SPIT*
This story is being denied. The Border Wall construction is to repair a damaged area where erosion was created and nothing more. I would like to see clarification.
Heard this morning. Not touching the wall. Rebuilding the levee.
Liars tell lies .... Show Me
Excellent news! Hopefully this work continues on through completion. This is an ambitious, but critical national security project which has been sorely needed for decades.
