Biden administration waives 26 federal laws to allow border wall construction in South Texas [More]
There’s an election coming up and they need to make it look like they’re on top of things.
That said, the Executive “waiving” duly enacted federal laws, even corrupt, evil, and absurd ones, seems to throw separation of powers checks and balances out the window. I wonder what a FOIA request to DHS would reveal about the political motives behind this move– assuming they didn’t stonewall until after the election…
The real meat of this story is in the last paragraph: As with ATF and its “rulemaking,” DHS is reversing its previous position on a wall without explanation, and just building a section leaves plenty of room to go around on both ends.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
