Democrats and environmental groups are expressing anger at the Biden administration for building nearly 20 miles of border wall in South Texas.
Democrats in Congress and environmental groups are furious at the Biden administration over its move to waive dozens of federal laws to build miles of border wall in South Texas — just as the administration is claiming its hands are tied on the matter. The agency posted an announcement this week on the U.S. Federal Register that outlines construction in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, where the administration says there is 'high illegal entry.
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 and 102 of ,' Mayorkas said. The move sparked accusations that the administration was backing off its anti-wall stance. The administration had shut off most border wall construction at the beginning of 2021.
It’s disheartening to see President Biden stoop to this level, casting aside our nation’s bedrock environmental laws to build ineffective wildlife-killing border walls,' Laiken Jordahl, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. 'Starr County is home to some of the most spectacular and biologically important habitat left in Texas, and now bulldozers are preparing to rip right through it.
