Biden covertly selling surplus parts of Trump’s border wall before potential law compels resumption of construction.
The Biden Administration Secretly Selling Unused Parts of Trump’s Border Wall
The Biden administration is liquidating materials intended for the construction of a wall on the southern border. Structural tubes designed for the border wall were recently listed for sale on GovPlanet, a platform where government agencies sell materials.
A source familiar with the sale revealed that the materials’ original intended use was being concealed in the auction. “We are legally not allowed to mention these are the border wall materials, or we could lose our jobs,” the source said. “But that’s what they are — 110 percent.”
Under the Trump administration, the funding for border wall materials and construction was arranged using Pentagon funds in 2020. However, since President Biden took office, the military has spent over $300 million to store the materials instead of using them for border security, according to Sen. Roger Wicker.
The Defense Logistics Agency of the Department of Defense confirmed that the unused materials were being sold. One listing of the tubes was recently sold for $29,100.
In addition to the tubes, the Biden administration has also auctioned off 81 lots of steel parts since April. Thirteen more lots are set to be auctioned in the coming weeks.
These actions come amidst legislative efforts to compel the administration to resume wall construction. Legislation to resume wall construction passed the House of Representatives in April, and similar proposals have received support in the Senate.
Critics of the administration’s move to sell the materials argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt legislation to finish the barrier. If wall construction is eventually resumed, the sale of these materials could prove costly to taxpayers, potentially setting the government back millions of dollars.
Absolutely insane! The Biden Administration selling off parts of the border wall. They don’t care a bit about taxpayer money! Just let it rot like they did not care leaving all the equipment behind in Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/RUR2WYJ5Sq
