The Biden administration’s failure at our southern border has reached new heights, as Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, and Joni Ernst bring to light the Department of Defense’s (DoD) wasteful decision to pay private landowners for storing border wall materials.
Acquired under President Trump’s administration, these materials now lie unused, costing taxpayers a staggering $130,000 daily.
The Senators have written a letter to Assistant Secretary Dalton, urging him to prioritize national security by utilizing these resources and demanding answers regarding the DoD’s internal correspondence, a list of individuals and entities being paid for land use, and an explanation of the contracting process.
With U.S Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz admitting that the U.S. lacks operational control over the entire border, it’s clear that the Biden administration’s policies have left our country vulnerable.
