President Joe Biden halted construction of a physical barricade at the southern border on day one of his administration, and has reportedly spent $2 billion to achieve that goal.
A report by Republicans on the Senate subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management explained the significant taxpayer expense.
“President Biden’s efforts to suspend or terminate Border Wall construction have cost taxpayers between $1.837 billion to $2.087 billion since January 20, 2021. This amount continues to increase by at least $3 million per day,” the report states.
If the project was paused, where is that money going?
“The Biden Administration is paying contractors at least $3 million per day to guard steel, concrete, and other materials in the desert,” the report states.
Even when many Americans thought that bureaucratic incompetence could not be more apparent, the Biden White House manages to surpass expectations.
The report from the subcommittee notably adds that while the Biden administration said that it would conduct a 60-day “study” of Border Wall construction, the Department of Homeland Security has not made the findings public almost six months later.
