Joe Biden has a plan to thwart lawmakers from forcing him to use border wall pieces purchased under the Trump administration to build the wall. He’s selling them off on the cheap.
Here’s more from the New York Post:
The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.
Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” — intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels — hauling in about $2 million.
On Tuesday, GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of the 28-foot-tall hollow beams, sold in five separate lots for an average $212 apiece.
Thirteen more lots are set to be auctioned on Aug. 23 and Aug. 30.
Why are they suddenly selling so many of these border wall pieces are parts? Because lawmakers have already begun passing legislation to force Biden to extend the wall using the parts they already have.
No, I’m not talking about the Republican House. I’m talking the Democrat Senate:
But just last month, as part of its annual defense appropriations package, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing Biden to stem the worsening migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by extending the wall.
The Finish It Act will make the feds use those materials on new wall construction — or hand the remaining stock over to states like Texas for use in their own border defense projects.
Now, the Biden administration is rushing to get rid of the wall leftovers before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version of the bill and make it law, critics told The Post.
The GovPlanet auction schedule picked up markedly in May, when Wicker first introduced the Finish It Act, and increased again this month, days after the Senate’s defense bill passed on a bipartisan vote.
This is just more proof that we didn’t need to know that Biden wants open borders. It’s part of his well-known plan to try and turn red states blue by using a Democrat plan for amnesty. Which is why Republicans can NEVER let amnesty happen.
