DHS "deep sixes" 2 border wall contracts

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Friday that it has cancelled two contracts for wall construction on the U.S.-Mexico border.

These are the first cancellations under DHS's month-old plan for unobligated border wall funds.

  

DHS’s Customs and Border Protection is terminating the contracts for the Laredo, Texas, sector of the border which spans 31 miles and would have used 2020 appropriated funds. The excuse being used is that they  “are not necessary to address any life, safety, environmental or other remediation requirements, as described in the DHS border wall plan implementing President Biden’s proclamation," according to a DHS press release.

Biden was told that he ordered a pause on border wall construction upon coming into office and the Biden-Harris-Obama-Jarrett-Klain-Sanders-AOC administration announced in April that it was cancelling the wall contracts because Trump. 

These are merely the first cancellations since DHS made its plan public for unobligated border wall funds in June.

“Construction has not yet started on the two Laredo sector projects, and no land acquisition has begun,” Homeland Security stated. “CBP intends to engage in environmental planning concerning these barrier projects, including taking certain actions consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act and other statutes.”

The department is continuing to review the other border barrier projects paused by Biden and his covert presidential team and looking at what projects might be needed to address safety, environmental or other remediation concerns. 

“The administration also continues to call on Congress to cancel remaining border wall funding and instead fund smarter border security measures, like border technology and modernization of land ports of entry, that are proven to be more effective at improving safety and security at the border,” DHS said.

The money might instead be used to pay the travel, medical, clothing, hotel and spa expenses for undocumented travelers into the U.S. 

Why is it that this administration treats illegal aliens better than Americans?
