Joe Biden builds miles of wall along the southern border, even as he attempts to deny it will make any difference at all.

Chaos continues among Republicans seeking a new speaker, and the FBI launches a new effort to target Trump followers.

So, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday waived

26 different federal laws that actually allowed him to build border wall in South Texas.

Apparently, among the 26 laws the DHS waived, according to National Review. That includes

the Clean Air Act, a drinking water act, and Endangered Species Act. The projects will be funded by

congressional appropriations package from fiscal year 2019. It's not going to be tons of wall,

but it is some wall. It's like 20 miles of wall along the border in Star County, Texas.

That's an area experiencing high illegal entry. The Biden administration has acknowledged that this was necessary. They put forward a statement saying as much, suggesting that this is the way that this was going to go, that basically we need the wall. If you don't have the wall, it's going to be very difficult for us to secure the border. This, of course, creates a major conundrum because Joe Biden suggested during the 2020 race that walls are bad. They are ineffective. They are

useless. And in fact, the idea of the Trump wall was incredibly bad, racist, terrible. This is why you

had Alexander Ocasio-Cortez during the Trump administration jetting on down to the southern

border to hang around empty parking lots and fake cry into the camera over a fence. This is why you had the entire media

shrieking and crying about the idea of Donald Trump building more border wall. This is why just

a few weeks ago you had judges who were stepping in to prevent the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott,

from putting buoys in the middle of the Rio Grande to prevent people from illegally attempting

to cross that border.

Well, now they've flipped.

Now they've flipped.

Again, it's not all that long ago.

They were saying all this sort of stuff.
