ABC News’ Devin Dwyer reports on how immigration policy, including the construction of the border wall, could change under the Biden administration.The Biden administration is returning to the Pentagon billions in funds diverted by President Donald Trump to build the wall at the southwestern border, and plans to cancel all related construction contracts, an administration official told ABC News on Friday.
Neither project would involve building new border fencing, the administration official told ABC News. It's not yet clear when the Biden administration will complete its review of the overall Trump-era project. "Construction under the prior administration blew large holes into the Rio Grande Valley’s flood barrier system to make way for a border wall. The flood barrier system had long provided low-lying regions of Hidalgo County, Texas, protection from catastrophic flooding, and these breaches have threatened local communities. DHS will start work to quickly repair the flood barrier system to protect border communities.
Lt. Col. Christian Mitchell, a Defense Department spokesman, told ABC News it was unclear how much of the military construction funds the Pentagon will be able to recoup. Some of the funds diverted by Trump have already been spent, while other tranches are no longer available to be recalled.President Joe Biden is still facing pressure from local border communities and both parties to announce his plans for Trump's signature project.
So dumb abc you are
More stupidity from this government.
'People are climbing over Trump’s $15 billion border wall with $5 ladders'
This must be unlawful. File a claim/charge against Biden
So Biden will continue to make the border worse
mcharlesworth7 IMHO...Future generations will take down the Wall.
Who's gonna pay for the wall?
YES!!! 👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
How bout giving that money to people who actually fuckin need it
Good. But can we use that money for healthcare for all?A better use of that money than to further divide this country..
Amazing how Mexico never paid for that wall. 😂 Glad that catastrophe is coming to an end.
Untold abuses at the hemorrhaging border. But ABC = DNC so we have to dig for them. Fucks.
Don’t let them use it for lobster and alcohol
It was a waste of money. Walls can't stop a determined person.
I hope the companies who hold these contracts go ahead and sue the Biden Administration into oblivion.
I don't know about a wall but I'm a Democrat and I still want border security. We can project power all over the world but we're unwilling to protect our own borders, it's stupid.
Something Trump was good at. Stealing money for his own use
Makes total sense given the lack of border crossings in the last month. Love how illogical this country has become
Wonder where that money will be allocated next?
Administration not Biden is returning to the Pentagon, more than $17 billion diverted by the Trump administration to build the wall at the southwestern border, plans to cancel all related construction contracts will be so wrong !.
Open borders appears to be on the Biden agenda. The Left obviously wants open borders and Biden is willing to accommodate them. Adios America.
Well this is another horrible idea...
We the people want the Wall
Of course, cause he wants illegal immigrants to come here so he can treat them better than his own American citizens.What a joke.
It was such a colossal waste of money… I think Trump should pay it back… Because it was useless
xidenBorderDisaster Quickly dispersing those folks who pass ILLEGALLY through our southern border to reduce the census near the border is not stopping the BorderSurge
You can’t fix stupid
Why protect our border ....smh
Finally
Tear down that wall!
find alternatives to stop in influx, by all means
GOOD!!
Biden in an idiot.
It’s hard to believe Mexico 🇲🇽 never came through with the Pesos. The former guy must be one hell of a punk.
Wow, still a lot of sheep out there for Democrats and media to control.....
Good! 👏
Good. Fucking waste of money.
Good, because a border wall does not belong here on our sacred ancestral land.
Don't forget Donald stole 4m,from the 911fund.billy ,
Got to let those voters in 😂
How about we use it to buy healthcare for all? Not crappy insurance based healthcare with subsidies but healthcare for all. Healthcare that is not reliant upon your employer or employment status.
I just know it's going to BITE Biden!! Because we need border control!! ALL borders must have RULES!! Biden must see this has a important part of America!! I say border controls for people in each country because Western Nation I tell you we're human not SUPER-HUMAN!
What about the wall around the Capitol? The one around the White House? No? Only the elite deserve that kind of security? Oh, ok.
BOOM!BOOM! Another Muslim family bombed. Glad Biden's in charge
Are the tax payers going to be reimbursed for their wasted money?
If texaa wants 2 bill someone, they should bill Trump personally, as he was the cause of the problem with his wasted money on a non needed barrier
Thank goodness. That was a colossal waste of money...
A good wall wpuld be a row of trees across the border
Disgusting
TeijoLeppamaki The new version of the movie 'Maze Runner' is discontinued !!
As President of the United States of America, President Trump has served America, and it's Citizens, Above and Beyond the Call of Duty....
Help! colombiasos
Mexico didn’t pay? Whaaaat Lol. Idiots
What is the pentagon doing with 17 billion? Don’t we have other priorities as a country?
good
When is the government going to return all the money they took out of social security and pay that back
Then they need to give border patrols back their jobs that were taken from them back in Obama time. This is one thing I am for as a partial Dem if that’s what you want to call me. Close the borders and treat them like other countries do. Shoot on sight.
I believe, in my heart, that upon the spot exactly next to the wall ends - someone surely build a Restaurant perhaps called The End of the Line. Is this the next major tourist spot? That fence may now become one gigantic art installation!
Good. Thank you President Biden!
Absolutely the wrong thing to do . the Wall Biden Trump the philosopher
Joe Biden you are out of your mind you need to build that wall take your head out of whatever is that and build that wall
Biden doesn’t need a wall, GM is going to build a new all electric vehicle factory in Mexico. Joe’s new green jobs working well for American workers.
Stupid and illegal.
🙌🏼👍🏼🎉😇🤓🥲
Stupids
An that person, something Scott has the audacity to criticize Biden when 45 was the most wasteful of governmental funds. Started paying NYC apartment plus secret service x5 mos., wall fiasco, mar a lago, endless. Added to the deficit billions.Scott, better if shut
Repurpose the materials from the already built wall to build homes for our Mexican neighbors and have some border fiestas and BBQs. Everyone wins
Big mistake
And his border plan is going just as planned. A complete disaster. zerocrednews. Ask this incompetent Admin some real questions
It is time for every country to let anyone from any place in world in come and live there without any documents. If any stupid documents are required,countries should freely give printers and paper so ‘immigrants’ can print the required documents. No borders for humanity. Agreed?
How much money is going back to Mexico since after all they were paying for it
But not doing anything else about the migrants crossing over. And blaming the Trump admin for separating the migrant kids from their parents. What kind of admin is this?
We need the wall!
The Mexicans will be disappointed, they were making good money disassembling and selling it.
Oh thank God, I was driving on a scary steep levy on the border in the RGV two weeks ago, I saw lots of homes left between the Rio Grande and the Wall. Hopefully it will stop. It’s butt ugly and a waste of money.
BREAKING: BRAVO!!! NEW: The Biden administration CANCELS all construction on Trump's racist border wall that was paid for using redirected military funds, a Defense Dept. spokesperson says. Follow Occupy Democrats for more.
FYI we don't have an open border. People who say that just don't know what they are talking about.
We need open borders like Canada and Mexico
The wall was never used except by cowards or racists
Most welcome precious people
The wall steel already delivered and piling up can be reworked used for all those windmill blades. There fixed it.
They should send 45 the bill for the rest. He’s used to not paying people who do work for him.
Leave part of the wall...like relics. We can name it 'BoneHeadge'.
Good, next Space Force.
They wont know what to do with RETURNED money, no one has ever returned SHIT to the pentagon. Give it to me, im better versed in refunds
Still in favor of repairs and updating. Could care less about the vanity wall.
yesssss
How bout we use it to help the kids in cages. The pentagon won’t miss it
Build trust...NOT WALLS.
