News started breaking yesterday that the Biden administration is planning to resume construction of approximately 20 miles of wall. Breitbart had this laughable tease: "Biden Caves: Democrat Building The Wall" Democrats don't "cave", they have undisclosed ulterior motives as to what their intent is. Evidently, at the top level, the Biden administration needs to construct some portion to avoid lawsuits for failing to comply with an appropriations mandate.
As an additional humorous observation: when Trump attempted to construct the wall, he was accused of being anti-immigrant and racist. Not to also mention that the Democrats said that walls do not work.
PS: As a side note. I'm still bewildered that the environmental community is silent on illegal immigration. The Biden administration claims to want to decrease greenhouse emissions and they are imposing draconian measures to achieve that, yet they let illegal immigrants into this country. The illegal immigrants generate greenhouse gases, as every human does. Also consider that the illegal immigrants are moving from a low carbon footprint environment to a high carbon footprint environment in the US. Moreover, each illegal immigrants uses hydrocarbons, occupies space, requires housing, education, health care and so on. This is an unsustainable use of our resources.
So the Biden administration wants to pretend that it is complying. But what would Biden construct in the way of a wall? The Biden administration would construct a non-functional wall in terms of preventing illegal immigration. Every XX feet the wall will have an opening that would allow illegal immigrants to enter the US unimpeded.Therefore, I must use my authority under section 102 of [Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996] to install additional physical barriers and roads in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.

I suspect that the media critical of Trumps efforts will be silent in terms of apologizing and/or calling Biden hypocritical.Likewise, immediately after taking office, Biden signed an executive order that halted all construction of border wall, declaring it a “waste of money” and “not a serious policy solution” to illegal immigration.
“It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security,” Biden wrote in the order fewer than three years ago. “… it shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall.”
