The Trump administration is still blasting through mountains and cactus to build the border wall in its last weeks, leaving Joe Biden with difficult decisions on how to bring the work to a halt amid skepticism of his own history with border barriers.

Biden faces immediate pressure when he enters the White House in January to fulfill a pledge to stop border wall construction. But he also will confront tough choices left behind by President Donald Trump, whose administration has ramped up construction efforts across the Southwest in its final weeks, as well as skepticism about his own record on border walls.

The Trump administration says it has completed 400 miles and pledged to reach 450 miles by the end of the year. And it has locked in contracts to build hundreds of miles more. More than two dozen projects are underway and contracts are signed with at least five construction companies, totaling $7 billion, according to government figures.

“You don’t do your work to determine whether people have passed away,” said Judge Micaela Alvarez, an appointee of former President George W. Bush. “You have out cases where you name somebody and then, a month or two later, you come back to court and say, ‘We want to dismiss them,’ because they died two, three, four years ago.”

_Politics 🗣 Mannnnn FUCK THIS GUY why millions of people are dying and getting sick this is what this 🤡 is worried about

A high wind took down some of it , just leave it as a monument to trump stupidity

_Politics Poor Joe. After 47 years in government, Joe is the victim and has to take responsibility. He’s 78 years old.

_Politics The wall is a waste they can climb over it saw through it tunnel under it and part of the area is open because of flooding for a few months of the summer So what the hell good is it it's just a waste of taxpayer money Trump's great at wasting taxpayer money

_Politics Not a quagmire at all. Just stop that ridiculous expenditure on day one.

_Politics Our problems lie within the walls. Leave people alone with their land.

_Politics God Bless America 😫

_Politics Maybe Trump could finish the wall after he unveils his new health care plan....

I DON'T CARE! There are more important things to worry about right now!

WATCH: Video footage from Georgia shows suitcases filled with ballots pulled from under a table AFTER supervisors told poll workers to leave room and 4 people stayed behind to keep counting votes 🐷 cheats

The wall is to keep people from escaping the US

Tear it down.....tear it all down

Difficult decisions?

POTUS finish it.

Rip that stupid wall down.

After the wall is built you put him on the other side

Maybe AP instead of tweeting FAKE news, take time out and visit the boarder with Texas and climb some of those MTS LOL

Maybe it isnt up to biden but the will if the people who voted trump in on that basis?

Trump has stolen and wasted billions on his useless vanity hate fence. It won't be long before many sections just fall over on their own, but they certainly won't ever 'maga.'

Trumps monument to his ego will soon be a rusty, decrepit hulk of garbage, just like his four years in office.

Biden will have his own walls to deal with when he is in prison for treason.

Poor Biden, how will he ever manage?

All these efforts on Trump’s behalf were done because it was going to help Trump win,but because it was going to help Trump cope with a loss, he can not accept defeat. That meant no Republican with career ambitions could accept it, either.{re-tweet}
