'Clearly DHS, under the Biden administration, has no more respect for border residents than it did under the Trump administration.'In late September, the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security awarded a $229 million contract for border wall construction in Starr County to SLSCO Ltd.
But border advocates have responded that—whether or not Biden must spend the money in question on border fencing—nothing legally required DHS to waive environmental and historic preservation protections in order to speed wall construction. “There is no legal requirement to waive laws that protect vulnerable border communities and wildlife in the appropriations language or elsewhere,” wrote a large coalition of organizations into the president.
Garza said that complying with environmental laws would cost money, possibly spending down the money that Biden says must be used for new wall. Nicol argued the remaining money could also go to undoing damage done by stretches of wall built by Trump rather than erecting new fencing.
