DHS Plans to build 20 additional miles of Border Wall

New Border Wall Extension: A Major Republican Victory Against Biden’s Promises

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed Friday its plans to extend the U.S.–Mexico border wall by 20 miles. This initiative upholds a promise from former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection highlighted the project’s legality, stating that unless Congress withdraws these funds, DHS is obliged to use them for their allocated purpose.

Currently, the Republican-majority House appears unlikely to halt the wall’s construction, an outcome desired by President Joe Biden’s administration. As per the announcement, the intended project is an erection of approximately 20 miles of steel bollard panels in the Rio Grande Valley Sector under the Border Patrol’s supervision.

The 2019 border wall appropriations under the Trump administration sanctioned the project. Notably, a considerable portion of previously unallocated funds from the Department of Defense has now been redirected back to the Pentagon.

This construction plan opposes a promise made during Biden’s 2020 campaign that ‘not even one foot of Trump’s border wall would be built.’ He really is doing everything he can to destroy our country.
