Biden Administration Waives Laws to Rush Border Wall Construction Through Texas Wildlife Refuge
Center for Biological Diversity: STARR COUNTY, Texas — The Biden administration announced today that for the first time it will waive environmental, public health and cultural resource protection laws to fast-track construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Texas. The administration says it will...
Biden is trying to score points with conservatives here, but it just won't work in today's ideologically divided political climate. Conservative views are not based on reason, and this action would assume that conservatives would be reasonable.
Which is the most frustrating part of both his admin and the DNC in general. They keep thinking they can sway some of these folks to their side when that’s become an impossibility amongst those still in their camp
This is a little why I worry about the ouster of McCarthy. I think the Dems should probably have voted to keep him.
Largely to screw the GQP, (while it’s not the game we deserve, it is the game the Republicans are playing). but also because they now could face a much worse chairman. It also would have probably ended McCarthy’s chances of reelection, or at least hastened it.
I mean. That can't possibly be right.
Their voters will never hear about this.
I'm kinda surprised I heard about this.
Can't possibly be right because it's not - he pulled it out of his ass. If you look at sourced govt document, it outlines the motivation pretty clearly.
The United States Border Patrol’s (Border Patrol) Rio Grande Valley Sector is an area of “high illegal entry.” As of early August 2023, Border Patrol had encountered over 245,000 such entrants attempting to enter the United States between ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in Fiscal Year 2023.
It's a problem area that the government's trying to get patched up. If you read the document, they list very specific spots they're putting barriers up in - it's not some brain-dead wall. And it's not for conservative brownie points. If people are illegally coming past the border, the government has an interest in stopping that no matter who's actually in charge.
Exactly right. There's always claims of some 5d chess about moves like this that aren't even discussed on most mainstream media that voters are exposed to.
Conservatives won’t even hear about this. Their media doesn’t report anything positive on him.
Right side will not even give this news the time of day since it is something positive. If they do post about it it will be talked about in a negative way or that democrats are desperate. Nothing is easy these days...
I'm not so sure, every time he's actively tried to buck right wing border policy it's gotten him dragged into the supreme court to be lectured about how not being dicks to latine folks for the shits and giggles is apparently unconstitutional somehow.
This is what happens when Democrats aren't pretending their hands are tied.
Booo! This sucks!
how does one waive laws? this sounds illegal
It’s not legal for student loan cancellation. Perfectly fine for destroying the environment.
And that could ultimately make it perfectly fine to end up with the possibility of voting for another Democratic president who vows not to destroy the environment.
