Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are quizzing the Biden administration over its decision-making related to border wall construction at the southern border.
FIRST ON FOX: Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are investigating the decision-making behind what they see as 'conflicting' statements by the Biden administration on border wall construction at the southern border -- after the administration waived dozens of federal regulations to allow construction in Texas.
There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102 and 102 of ,' Mayorkas said. It immediately drew claims from both Republicans and Democrats that it was a departure from prior positions by the administration on the wall.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Comer said that the initial moves by the administration to halt border wall construction amid the ongoing border crisis 'is detached from reality.' 'The Department of Homeland Security has finally admitted there is a need to construct physical barriers along the border, only after the Biden administration sold off unused border wall materials that sat idle since President Biden’s first day in office,' he said.
