President Biden has rescinded the emergency order used by former President Trump to justify construction of the border wall, the White House announced Thursday.

“I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border was unwarranted,” Biden wrote in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

“I have also announced that it shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall, and that I am directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to that end.”

Biden’s proclamation comes after it asked the Supreme Court to cancel an upcoming hearing on the legality of the border wall, which the court then granted.

review of the sources of contribution of resources from Mexico and from the USA.

3. Biden must be careful

about Immigration though. That was Trump's number one issue. The 'Rs' will be banging open borders to rile up the deplorables.

4. Rs will find a reason to complain either way.

6. So what, no fucking wall, no matter how high ....

would do the trick. The walls of racism are way to tall to breech in the minds and hearts of racists. So WE need to show them the way ... until we win the day for justice! No backing down for fear!

5. IF we have to continue paying the contract workers, then

Let's pay them to TAKE THE WALL BACK DOWN!!

12. There has been wall there for many years...

...and all the places that don't have physical wall either have electronic surveillance or the terrain there is so bad no one would cross at that point.

But seriously, what's the point of a wall when the vast majority of people in this country who aren't supposed to be either overstayed their visas or were brought up in vehicles?

10. Trump was the guarantor on Mexican payment, amiright?

Seems a way to recoup $billions and billions.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. So, can Mexico stop paying now.....

and do we have to send money back?
