It is almost as if the Democrats don't want to build a wall, or stop illegal migrants in anyway.

The names of the companies buying this and their board of directors revealed. Who will profit on the sales and how much ended up in the Biden crime family. Is James Biden on the board of directors of these firms?

Fine with them seizing it. Texas has cause.

Yep and I'll help guard them! I'm sure many Texans would.

Why should we buy them? We already own them.

Selling property that can and would be used if not sold not only is irresponsible, it's dishonest. Any bureaucrat that is in on this scheme should be fired after J20. That steel is not government surplus!

Yes. Fire anyone involved in the process.

The companies that bid on the wall completion should be snatching these up.


They probably are then they will resell it to the US govt when they start building the wall again

Did the auction pages get pulled down on the government website? Just heard a report on FNC.

1. Seize the border materials.
2. Redesign the wall to actually be effective. Current design is far too easy for illegals to cut holes in, but was necessary due to Congress being useless on funding.
3. Convict Biden for treason.
4. ?????
5. Profit.

The border with Mexico is a little less than 2k miles.

Trump must have left a bunch of unused border wall material after 4 years in office for the next administration because there just wasn't enough time to use it all.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46748492.amp
Quote:

. . . President Donald Trump is visiting the southern border in Texas to claim success in the construction of a border fence with Mexico.

The White House said his visit would "mark the completion of more than 400 miles of border wall - a promise made, promise kept".
. . .
Various types of fencing totalling 654 miles (just over 1,000 km) were already in place before Mr Trump became president in 2017.
. . .
The Trump administration say they've completed more than 400 miles of border wall since then.

It's 452 miles (727 km) in total, according to the latest US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information (4 January 2021).

However, only 80 miles of new barriers have been built where there were none before - that includes 47 miles of primary wall, and 33 miles of secondary wall built to reinforce the initial barrier.

The vast majority of the 452 miles is replacing existing structures at the border that had been built by previous US administrations.

President Trump has argued that this should be regarded as new wall, because it's replacing what he called "old and worthless barriers." . . .

Ignoring the quibble that it was mainly replacing existing wall, thats still only a little over 100 miles a year. At that pace we're looking at the better part of two decades for him to erect the wall.

And now we're pissed at Biden for selling off unused Trump border wall material Trump left Biden because it's going to "significantly delay progress on his flagship campaign promise"?

From the OP link:
Quote:

. . . Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021. If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump's flagship campaign promises at the border. . .

How could President Trump possibly maintain the torrid pace of 100 miles a year without the unused border wall materials he never got around to using in his first term?

That's one helluva flawed defense of the Biden administration's indefensible actions, especially when the sole justification you offer is the construction delays & lack of substantial progress that occurred while Trump was in office; after all, it's seriously disingenuous to imply that construction of Trump's border wall didn't face a multitude of federal & state challenges that directly contributed to the slowed construction progress, as well as completely ignoring the impact of COVID on the project (such as worksite shutdowns & limited manpower on account of vaccine mandates for federal workers/ contractors, just to name a few)!!!

Instead, what justification can you provide that legitimizes the present sale of the material for pennies on the dollar when there wasn't any imposed deadline 'to finish the wall or else', AND, why don't you see the financial harm being done to the US taxpayers who will undoubtedly be forced to pay the replacement costs of previously purchased materials if Trump restarts construction?!?!

Frankly your illogical post screams TDS lunacy; furthermore, one certainty as to where blame should fall for the materials being unused & left to rust is upon Biden since he was too busy letting in MILLIONS of illegals (a/k/a "migrants) instead of erecting the wall started under Trump!!!

And all because the opposition didn't hang on to the stuff for 4 years Trump apparently ordered too much of for the program the opposing president halted. Pretty cheeky if you ask me. That doesn't even take into account

Pennies I tell you! (although it would be odd to get dollars on the dollar for moldering mats):

https://www.newsweek.com/govplanet-biden-selling-border-wall-sale-auction-2000729

Quote:

. . . Biden halted border wall construction after taking office in 2021. Trump-his predecessor and soon-to-be successor made it a cornerstone of his immigration policy and has pledged to continue its construction once he returns to office in January.

If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) response to Newsweek in 2023 aligns with Friday's reports, it might not be as nefarious as Crane believes. A spokesperson said at the time that the materials were being disposed of in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations.

"USACE has already transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million of bollard panels and other materials in accordance with standard excess property disposition procedures," a spokesperson said at the time.
. . ,

Regardless I imagine after four years President Trump will have preserved Biden's projects.

This is how you know we're a broken country. The president-elect made one of his core campaign principles to stope illegal immigration. The people overwhelmingly voted for this. But instead the outgoing president sells already tax-payer paid items for pennies on the dollar just to stifle the incoming POTUS.
There is no unity in the country. The gap is too far to bridge. There is no hope of reconciliation.

A huge win for @RealDonaldTrump
and Texas! The border wall that Joe Biden was attempting to auction off for pennies on the dollar in secret has been stopped.

Last Thursday, a tip from Border Patrol exposed Biden for attempting to sell wall panels. A few days later, the administration rushed thousands of usable wall panels, not clearly seen before, to an auction site in Arizona. The purpose was clearly to keep these border wall panels from President Trump. That auction happened today, but thousands of good wall panels that we were ready to buy were pulled from the auction.

Here's the back story. When Texas looked at the auction site on Friday of last week, the usable wall panels were not listed, or it was not easy to see what they were.

Texas was never told in advance about the auction of the usable wall panels. Then, the panels were quickly removed from the auction yesterday. Texas sent a representative to Arizona, and the auctioneers told him they pulled the wall panels from being auctioned off today at the direction of the U.S. Government. They also told us that if these thousands of panels go up for auction, Texas will be notified first. Governor Abbott and I stand ready to buy them if they do.

Early this week, President Trump called out Biden for trying to sell off the border wall early this week. He called it a "criminal act" by Biden. President Trump was the key to ending the secret Biden plan.
