Biden had once promised there would \u201cnot be another foot of wall constructed\u201d under his administration.
A mechanical lift is seen through flowers next to a section of newly constructed border wall in Hidalgo, Texas, on January 11, 2021.For the first time under President Joe Biden, officials are using authority established under former President Donald Trump to waive dozens of laws in order to continue construction on the racist southern border wall, sparking outrage from activists.
Biden is not only going back on his pledge to halt border wall construction, but also his administration’s promises“It’s disheartening to see President Biden stoop to this level, casting aside our nation’s bedrock environmental laws to build ineffective wildlife-killing border walls,”Laiken Jordahl, Southwest conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity, in a statement.
With these laws waived, the administration can bypass the normal process of public reviews and avoid lawsuits in order to speed up construction. To ensure we stay out of the red by the end of the year, we have a long way to go. Our future is threatened.
