Biden Administration Auctions Hundreds of Tons of Border Wall Materials for $5, Selling Half a Mile Daily Ahead of Christmas
Dec 13, 2024, 12:35 AM
The Biden administration is reportedly auctioning off materials from the unfinished border wall, with sales occurring at prices as low as $5. The administration aims to sell off hundreds of tons of materials, which were originally funded by taxpayers, before Christmas. This decision has raised concerns among critics, who argue that the materials could be needed for future border security efforts, especially as President Trump has expressed intentions to complete the border wall. Reports indicate that Border Patrol agents have been instructed to expedite the sales, with an estimated half a mile of border wall material being sold daily. The auctioning of these materials has sparked calls for legal intervention, with some critics labeling the actions as treasonous.
