Biden terminates all Texas border wall contracts
Oct 11 2021 02:16PM more by Waterdisport22
Tags: Orange County, Random (All tags)

DHS is pulling the plug on contracts to erect a border wall in the embattled Rio Grande Valley even as migrants from around the world continue to pour into the US from Mexico in unprecedented numbers.

The agency ntends to cancel the remaining border barrier contracts located within US Border Patrol (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector

The unspent cash that Congress allocated for wall construction will be spent on environmental projects including biological, cultural, and natural resource survey in the border region.

The announcement comes after DHS said it was bracing for 400,000 border apprehensions this month alone.

@Falppy...

I do.

It brought Chyna to the table and US got the trade deal we wanted.

It too brought Mexico to the table and forced them to keep ILLEGALS on their side of the border.


Its called LEVERAGE as the #1 economy.

Everybody wants to trade with us.....


But you knew that right........



Inflation my friend is PRIMARILY brought about by printing more n more dollars that are chasing basically the same amount of goods n services. And that would be in a GRAND scale of things.

Like the fed is doing now and the proposed 3.5 TRILLION + 1.5 or so TRILLION so about 5 TRILLION dollars of NEW currency.

In theory tariffs can cause inflation but not enough to move a needle....why...they are TARGETED for specific goods and typically do not last.

The spending package WILL cause inflation across the entire economy.



Any other question??

"They were paying for it via TARIFFS.......FFS. "

This is why I don't think you know how tariffs work.

Now, they may be useful to exert other pressure, but tariffs are paid for by the importer. Usually a US company. The importer may choose to pass some, all, or none to the US consumer (hello washing machines).

BTW, IF the importer pushed all the increases to the consumer...how much are we talking about on a per capita basis?


the other part of the question is your personal view of china tariffs

A bid ass fucking wall would have come in handy. Democrats will have to learn from their mistakes. Or maybe they won't.

"While Democrats argue the surge began before President Joe Biden took office, Republicans argue Biden’s welcoming policies are to blame. A rise in border apprehensions did begin prior to the election under then-President Donald Trump. But the increase in unaccompanied children has spiked significantly in the first full month of the Biden administration."

great read, if can do it. there are graphs for those who need pictures.

another great read:

".......These claims are clearly overheated: as the journalist Arelis Hernández points out in the Washington Post, the US-Mexico border is currently far from open. But their resurgence shows just how central the idea of a “border crisis” remains to the populist right, even when it bears little relationship to the reality on the ground."

"For the top 1%, citizenship is literally a commodity to be bought and sold: the global trade in passports is now worth an estimated £20bn a year. For most inhabitants of wealthy countries, however, it is more symbolic, something that populists promise to aggressively defend through the harsh treatment of migrants deemed to threaten these privileges. The historian of ideas, Malcolm Bull identified this dynamic in 2016, at the outset of the populist surge, and it continues today: the border crisis is what the populist right uses to rally voters to its cause, an implicit promise that it will protect their interests by maintaining global inequality."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Trump did....he made people stay on the Mexican side until their case was adjudicated.

Biden is RELEASING these people into the US and giving them a court date....where as 99% of them never show up.


BIG difference.
