BREAKING: WALLS KEEP PEOPLE OUT!
According to a report from Just The News, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “has opted to waive a litany of laws and regulations to swiftly construct more border wall in a key Texas hotspot for illegal crossings.”
Oh, really?!
“The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas,” reads a notice posted to the U.S. Federal Registry that Fox News obtained.
When they say “certain laws,” they mean 26 federal laws.
“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in the notice.
Environmental activists, not surprisingly, hate this idea.
“A plan to build a wall through will bulldoze an impermeable barrier straight through the heart of that habitat. It will stop wildlife migrations dead in their tracks. It will destroy a huge amount of wildlife refuge land. And it’s a horrific step backwards for the borderlands,” Laiken Jordahl, a southwest conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, said Wednesday afternoon.
In Jan. 20, 2021, the Biden administration stated, “Building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.”
President Joe Biden currently has a 33.6% approval rating on immigration, according to RealClearPolitics. A further 62.8% disapprove of his handling of the issue.
