Joe Biden Paying Contractors $3 Million A Day NOT To Build The Border Wall

The crisis at the border continues, with over 1.2 million crossings so far here in 2022. The Biden administration is appealing the hold on Title 42, which if lifted would allow even more migrants to enter into the U.S.

But probably the most egregious thing of all? Biden is paying federal contractors $3 million dollars a day -not- to build the border wall.

"The good news is, that number is actually down from what it was in January of 2021 when president Biden took office and put a stop to the border wall being built" said Bob Price with Breitbart Texas, "It was up to as much as $6 million a day then."

That is taxpayer money, being wasted not to build a wall that has already paid for, by Congress.

"The American taxpayers paid for it, and president Biden is just letting our capital assets rust" Price told KTRH, "It actually costs more to store this stuff, than it would to go ahead and finish the projects that were approved by Congress. It's just more of the lawlessness created by the Biden administration."

Biden is breaking the law, and sparing no expense to go against anything to do with Donald Trump.

"Trump had branded the border wall, so that was the first thing that had to go" noted Price, "The American taxpayers have spent already in excess of probably $1.4 billion dollars in these fees that it's costing when you take $3 million dollars a day, and extrapolate that out to 16 months. It's an outrageous cost."

Thankfully, Governor Greg Abbott and others, are trying to pass new legislation to allow states to get the materials, and finish the wall themselves, like Operation Lone Star here in Texas.

"Fortunately, the state of Texas was able to acquire some of those border wall sections" Price said, "They were able to bring them to Texas and actually put them up in the Del Rio and Rio Grande Valley sectors to try to help secure parts of the border for Texas."

The Biden border crisis continues.
