A plan by President Joe Biden to deport some Venezuelan illegal aliens after they arrive at the United States-Mexico border will do close to nothing to end the administration’s inflow of illegal aliens to American communities, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) writes in a letter exclusively obtained by Breitbart News. On Thursday, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that the agency would “resume direct repatriations of Venezuelan nationals who cross our border unlawfully and do not establish a legal basis to remain,” officials wrote in a release. The plan, though,...

President Biden appeared to stumble Friday when asked by a reporter about his administration's resumption of border wall construction in Texas, telling a reporter that "we tried to ask the Congress to consider changing the law," one day after saying that he had merely tried to "redirect" money for the project. Biden and his administration have been facing scrutiny after the Department of Homeland Security posted an announcement this week in the Federal Register that outlined construction of a border wall in the Rio Grande Valley Sector of Texas, where...

On Thursday, the Biden administration announced that it will build an additional 20 miles of the border wall in Starr County, Texas, a busy crossing point for migrants along the Rio Grande. The move is a sharp turn from President Joe Biden’s long-standing criticism of the US-Mexico border wall, a controversial hallmark of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration into the country. The Biden administration insists that it had no choice but to extend the wall because the funds had been appropriated by the Trump administration and must be put...

SALINEÑO, Texas (Border Report) — Folks in rural Starr County, on the South Texas border, know each other and their families. They celebrate holidays and special events together, and the Rio Grande is a big part of their lives here. So when President Joe Biden stopped plans for border wall construction when he took office in 2021, they were elated, believing their borderlands would be free of the 18-foot-tall border barrier. But now they’re shocked and scared and the county judge says “disappointed,” after the Biden administration this week waived...

The American Civil Liberties Union is outraged by President Joe Biden’s decision to move forward with building congressionally authorized barriers along the United States’ southern border with Mexico, characterizing it as a “profound betrayal.” “The Biden administration’s decision to rush into border wall construction marks a profound failure,” said ACLU Director of Border Strategies Jonathan Blazer in a statement. “On the campaign trail, President Biden put it best when he said that the border wall is not a serious policy solution – and we couldn’t agree more. Instead of upholding...

Poor Joy Behar! Friday was her 80th birthday and they had to spend part of her special day trying to defend President Biden after he announced that his administration was building 20 miles of border wall, breaking his campaign promise that he would halt former President Trump’s project. Most of the cast was in damage control mode as they argued that his hands were tied. Proving it was her party and she’d cry if she wanted to, Behar opened the segment by whining about how “they” were making him build...

The Biden administration is finally building some miles of border wall in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, almost three years after it opened the floodgates to illegal immigration, causing the worst situation at our southern border in modern history. The Biden administration has claimed there is nothing it can do about the border wall construction because the money was appropriated by Congress in 2019 and has not been reappropriated since then. The funds for ~20 miles of border reinforcements were appropriated in 2019 before @POTUS took office. He called on...

[Editor's note: This story originally was published by The Daily Signal.] The Biden administration is defending its plan to construct 17 miles of border wall in South Texas. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced in the U.S. Federal Register that a wall in Starr County, Texas, will be constructed to “deter illegal crossings in areas of ‘high illegal entry’ into the United States.” TRENDING: How McCarthy signed his own political death warrant President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has “determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive...

[Editor's note: This story originally was published by The Daily Signal.] The Biden administration is using the authority of a 1996 statute to build a section of border wall in South Texas less than a year after a Republican senator proposed a bill to resume wall construction using the same legal authority. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 gives the secretary of homeland security the authority to “waive all legal requirements” that the secretary “determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction of barriers and roads” along the...

Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) came out in support of the Biden administration’s decision Thursday to expand construction of new border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, an issue which has divided Democrats. “This is a necessary step to help Texas’ overwhelmed border communities deal with this current surge of migrants,” Allred said in a statement to The Hill on Friday. The administration announced it will waive 26 federal regulations to begin construction on sections of border wall in Texas, using funds already allocated during the Trump administration. “I have long said...
