WTF is happening, we are in bizarro world. A friend just texted me this and I figured it's Babylon Bee. But, it's per Fox News.

Mayorkas cites ‘immediate need’ to waive regulations, build border wall in Texas as immigration surges
quote:
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is citing an "acute and immediate need" to waive dozens of federal laws in order to build a border wall in south Texas where illegal migration has surged, a sharp contrast to dismissals of the use of such barriers in the early days of the administration.
The agency posted an announcement on the U.S. Federal Registry which outlines construction in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley Sector -- where the administration says there is "high illegal entry." The agency says there have been over 245,000 migrant encounters in the sector this fiscal year.
Mayorkas says he is using his authority provided by Congress to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act.
"There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102(a) and 102(b) of [the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996]," Mayorkas said.
The administration had put a halt to new border wall construction in early 2021, after then-candidate Biden had promised there would be "not another foot of wall constructed during my administration." The administration said that wall construction under the Trump administration was "just one example of the prior Administration’s misplaced priorities and failure to manage migration in a safe, orderly, and humane way."
However, the construction is funded by the FY 2019 DHS appropriations bill, which DHS is required to use for its appropriated purpose. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had announced its plans for up to 20 miles of wall in the RGV Sector in June. The administration has also previously made moves to close gaps and replace gates.

Smoke and mirrors. He doesn’t mean that at all.

Progressivism fails again.

Democrats must finally be realizing that unchecked immigration is unpopular when it actually affects their shithole cities.

Polling must be so negative that the Dems are nervous about next election.
Either that or they figure they have enough illegal votes that the Republicans will never win another presidential election.

I say we plant some mines and park some tanks there and treat it like a DMZ. Whoever gets past the minefield gets a sniper round and groups of people get 120mm to blow them to nothing.
Would also need a few A-10 Warthogs just in case

amazing how new york and chicago melting down about migrants has upped the concern

I would wager Mayorkas has not been to the actual border. As with the rest of the current admin. Oh, the VC 'border czar' came close with visiting the El Paso airport.

Send out a bunch of welders to undo the fricking damage you ordered done to the gates, dipshit.

Yeah they don't really want a wall, they are just responding to polling. The next Dem prez will keep the flood incoming. All part of the Soros destroy America plan.

time to start drawing up separation papers

I was told by leftists that walls don’t work
Posted on 10/4/23 at 8:10 pm to Bunk Moreland
He's just prepping the 2024 campaign so they can claim to be the party of the wall

I always figured we should have a few massive catapaults lined up pointing back to Mexico. As they cross the border, you walk them to the catapults, then fire them a few hundred yards back to where they came from. Repeat as needed.
