    Yes barriers affect shipping and by definition cross border traffic. Those are the Federal governments jurisdiction. That would be like me building a speed bump in the street outside my house. It’s not a regulation but it does actually regulate traffic. I have no legal ability to do it and the city is obligated to remove it as an unlawful traffic control.

    If the Biden admin is really going to do that I think it’s a bad idea and whether Democrats or Republicans are doing it relying on a wall for border control is throwing good money after bad.

    I am curious as to what spurred the sudden reversal of policy.

    It could be this was part of negotiations with Congressional Republicans as Demothave previously offered wall funding in exchange for things like action in DACA.

    It could also be that the Biden Admin. Is feeling the political heat and is willing to take this step as a means of dealing with it.

    The best part about the Biden administration is continuing on with Trumps plans.
    Biden followed through on Trumps exit plan in Afganistan, even killing a bunch of innocent people on the way out the door, true to the spirt of Bush and Obama.
    Now he is building the wall. I won't be surprised to see Biden claim Mexico will pay for it.
    Biden and administration are very reactionary.

    I don’t see how sticking to the withdrawal from Afghanistan was reactionary. If anything it was him sticking to something regardless of the exigency of the moment.

    Besides that most of what the Biden Admin has done has been pretty focused. He campaigned on getting infrastructure, bringing back US manufacturing back and he did. A year ago he even gave a speech on democracy that many including Democrats thought was a bad idea.

    Afghan withdrawal trump was never going follow up on. Trump was a coward

    Biden wanted to exit Afghanistan in 2010

    Except the barriers weren't blocking a road, they were blocking areas that didn't have designated entry points. Instead of a speedbump in the road in front of your house, this would be a speedbump in the greenbelt that didn't allow cars. Sure, some people might illegally drive through it, but it isn't meant for traffic and putting a speedbump there isn't illegal traffic control. The city could sue you to remove it, because you built something on public land, but they aren't required to do so and might prefer that deterrent to people illegally driving on the greenbelt.

    The law. I think the Biden administration was going to lose in court. Congress approved funding to build some parts of a wall. I don't think the Biden administration could successfully argue that using that money on roads and cameras count. Just skimmed the article and that seems to be the case - Congress passes a new law so you have to execute it.

    It is October 5th and we need more immigration not less, or our country will not be able to keep growing.

    Building a wall doesn't stop legal immigration

    Bwaaaaahahahaha I guess Biden is worried about his poll numbers. What a complete flip-flop on something he directly campaigned against.

    You noted that the Rio Grande is a navigable river so placing a barrier in the river is blocking a designated area of travel.

    As for the other areas your argument doesn't deny that such actions exceed the legal authority.

    Biden said that not another foot of wall would be built during his administration. Hopefully this isn't a racist wall like previous iteration.

    It’s just a matter of time before immigrants realize that the United States is going to turn out to be a bigger **** hole than where they come from

    Correct, the asylum process is in dire need of an overhaul.
