BUILD THAT WALL: DHS set to finish construction on Trump's border wall in Arizona, despite Biden promising 'not another foot.'
The Yuma sector was notably busy under former President Trump, who had portions of the border wall constructed or reinforced. There was also a plaque installed along the Yuma border in 2020, affirming Trump’s role in securing the wall.A welded plaque with the name of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump in Yuma, Arizona on June 2, 2022.A welded plaque commemorates the construction of 100 miles of new boarder wall along the border between the US and Mexico in Yuma, Arizona on June 2, 2022.
In the past, Biden was repeatedly critical of Trump, his border wall, and his immigration policies — which he referred to as"xenophobic" and"racist."In an op-ed published in the Miami Herald, Biden specifically wrote that the slogan"build the wall" was"divorced from reality" and a wall"won’t stop the flow of illegal narcotics or human trafficking, both of which come primarily through legal ports of entry.
During an interview in August 2020, Biden told NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro:"There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration, No. 1." Biden also ceased all new border wall construction after he took office and has told Congress to cancel funding for border wall construction.Biden also continues to use billions of dollars Congress appropriated for the wall’s construction. He cannot legally refuse to do so — he is only permitted to pause border construction projects.
