Oh, Twin Ticks, you have once again been caught in an attempt to deceive us. All construction work on the border fence had been "paused." Now, some of that work has been resumed. Not only that, the Biden administration now says it is considering resumption of work on other sections of the wall.

You are lucky that BGR has no rule explicitly prohibiting the posting of propaganda Twin Ticks.

Biden had promised to halt construction on the border wall, and did so in January, but it was under pressure from governors who were dismayed at the massive influx of immigrants across their borders that he's getting the massive construction project back online.

In April, the Biden administration said that they were considering filling gaps in the wall. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that "It's not a single answer to a single question. There are different projects that the chief of the Border Patrol has presented and the acting commissioner of CBP presented to me."

"The president has communicated quite clearly his decision that the emergency that triggered the devotion of DOD funds to the construction of the border wall is ended," Mayorkas is reported to have said. "But that leaves room to make decisions as the administration, as part of the administration, in particular areas of the wall that need renovation, particular projects that need to be finished."

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki downplayed that when she answered questions about the renewed wall effort, saying "Well wall construction remains paused by the extent permitted by law. So some has already been funded through congressional authorization and funding allocation. But as agencies develop for a plan—it's paused while agencies are developing a plan for the President on the management of the federal funds.

"When the administration took office, as you mentioned, funds had been diverted from congressionally appropriated military construction projects and other appropriated purposes toward building the wall. And wall construction was being challenged in multiple lawsuits, for much of the wall, I should say, not all of it, by plaintiff who allege serious safety and environmental issues.

"Under those circumstances, federal agencies are continuing to review wall contracts and develop a plan to submit to the President soon. It is paused, there is some limited construction that has been funded and allocated for, but it has been paused."

The gaps that were left in the wall after the administration abandoned construction, leaving materials and equipment littering stretches of the border, ended up being accessible to terrorists.

The White House had rejected calls to tighten the border, despite obvious abuses by human traffickers and smugglers. Click here for full article
