**Outrageous**
The Biden Administration's decision to auction off unused border wall sections for as little as $5 has sparked outrage among conservative leaders and citizens alike.
Former President Donald Trump condemned the move as “crazy,” arguing it represents a significant threat to national security.
These border wall materials, which have been left abandoned due to Biden’s halt on construction, are now being sold off by the federal government, prompting Trump to assert that this creates significant financial ramifications in the long run.
In a post on Truth Social, he stated, “It will cost the U.S. a fortune, and time, to get the exact same wall to replace what has been sold, and the new wall will cost triple the price.”
According to Border Patrol agents, up to half a mile of wall material is being removed daily from the southern border—further illustrating the administration's apparent disregard for border security.
Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri joined Trump in denouncing the sell-off by sending a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
He demanded an immediate cessation of the auctioning, highlighting that the move demonstrates a smokescreen of "sabotage" against an incoming Trump Administration.
Schmitt noted that while the Biden Administration hopes to regain a fraction of taxpayer money by selling off these materials, the future costs to replace them will be burdensome.
“This is a slap in the face to American taxpayers,” Schmitt declared.
The auction of the wall materials has raised questions about intentions behind such a decision as it is seen as an effort to undermine efforts for restoring order at the southern border.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has also weighed in, describing the sell-off as “incredibly petty” and questioning whether legal action could halt it.
In the end, it’s apparent that this move by the Biden Administration is not just about selling materials, but rather a misguided approach to border security that needs urgent attention.
As Americans grapple with this decision, the call for stronger, more effective measures to secure our borders continues.
