Reversing Trump on immigration? Says who?

President Joe Biden’s Justice Department is moving forward with the previous administration’s process of building ex-President Donald Trump’s notorious wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, marking a glaring contradiction in Biden’s promise to step away from his predecessor’s hardline anti-immigration crusade.

DOJ seized six acres of land from a family in Hidalgo, Texas this week after a judge appointed by former President George W. Bush gave the department the green light to do so in an eminent domain case launched by the Trump administration for the wall’s construction.

Reynaldo “Rey” Anzaldua Cavazos, a member of the family, told Politico that he was “very, very disappointed” in the President.

Better find some other votes to replace the Texas Latino ones in 2024.

Then-presidential candidate Biden, who vowed he would never add to the wall, had promised last August that his administration would withdraw the Trump-era eminent domain cases at the border.

Politico reports that more than a hundred of those cases remain active.

A DOJ official told Politico that the department was moving forward with the land seizure in Hidalgo because the review Biden had ordered of federal resources being used for the wall’s construction was still ongoing.

However, that review was supposed to have been completed by March 20, and it’s unclear why it hasn’t been finished yet.

Besides, shouldn't something that's under review for possible termination be halted while the review is ongoing?

And don't forget, Biden had to be pressured into moving to increase the cap on the number of refugees admitted to the US, even though he'd said he would do it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
