In Brief:
After years of being asked to build a wall to protect our southern border, and after recently suing the state of Arizona for using shipping containers to protect the border, Biden is finally using tax dollars to build a wall. But this wall is around his personal residence in Delaware, not our bleeding southern border.
The Background:
Despite over 718,000 migrants coming across our southern border just since October 2022, Biden remains against building a wall to control the ongoing border crisis, construction of a large white fence is underway at the president's vacation home. The wall is expected to cost taxpayers $490,324.
Biden stated: "There will not be another foot of wall construction in my administration. I’m going to make sure that we have border protection, but it’s going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. And at the ports of entry – that’s where all the bad stuff is happening."
Instead, American tax dollars are going to secure his personal residence – which, considering he was stashing classified documents, might not be such a bad idea.
