Staff ReportsThe Biden administration is making quite the spectacle in its final days, racing against time to derail the construction of the border wall that President-elect Donald Trump has long championed. Rather than facilitating the transition to a solid border security plan, the Democrats seem intent on creating an illegal yard sale, tossing unused border wall materials onto the auction block like they’re selling off grandma’s old furniture. The materials are reportedly being transported from the southern border, with video evidence of trucks hauling them away from Tucson, Arizona, just days before Trump takes office.
The situation couldn’t be more absurd: bureaucrats in the Biden team are actually auctioning off sections of a wall that could have helped to encapsulate America’s porous southern border. It appears the Biden administration is not just about dismantling Trump’s legacy but also ensuring there’s absolutely nothing left to work with for the incoming administration. There’s a certain logic to this strategy—if you can’t beat them, auction off their resources.

Trump has understandably reacted with exasperation to this bureaucratic absurdity, likening the auctioning off of the wall materials to near criminal behavior. The idea that a government would actively sell off assets that could be of immense value for national security is baffling, but that’s just another Tuesday under the Democratic regime. Trump pointed out that this not only jeopardizes future wall construction but also would inflate costs exponentially if they ever needed to be rebuilt from scratch. After all, who doesn’t love a good ol’ federal waste of taxpayer money?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has haphazardly chimed in, suggesting that the management of the border wall is ultimately in the hands of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This becomes a tangled web of jurisdictional blame, and no one wants to take responsibility for stopping this ludicrous auction. Surprising, given that in a functioning government, one might expect a little coordination on such significant national security issues.
As if this circus wasn’t wild enough, a local Yuma County supervisor revealed that these auctions aren’t just a one-off event. They have been taking place regularly, with materials being sold for as low as $5 at times, but often fetching anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000. That’s some serious markup for what should be utilized for fortifying the nation’s borders. The whole scenario is almost darkly comedic—a government selling off pieces of infrastructure that could keep Americans safe, only to allow private dealers to turn a quick profit.
Americans are left shaking their heads, wondering how such insanity can make its way into policy, especially when Trump insists that the wall sale is manifestly un-American. This is more than just partisan politics; it’s about basic common sense. Undermining national security for the sake of a temper tantrum isn’t just governance gone wrong; it’s a direct affront to the very foundation of America’s safety and common sense. The outcry from the right is growing louder, urging Biden to cease this nonsensical sale before history holds him accountable for this act of political sabotage.
