They have to spend the money in the time frame given that Congress appropriated the money. SO waiving those laws/regulations allows the Executive Branch to meet its obligation to the Legislative Branch.

He's using his sole discretion to determine that that laws need to be waived. Finally, in section 102(c) of IIRIRA, Congress granted to the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to waive all legal requirements that I, in my sole discretion, determine necessary to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads authorized by section 102 of IIRIRA.

begooode Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The Dems need to get sorted out on this announcement on the wall as AOC was critical of Biden; Myorkas says "nothing's changed"; and Dem mayors and others are potentially embracing the announcement of more wall: Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) came out in support Friday of the Biden administration’s decision to expand construction of new border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, an issue which has divided Democrats. “This is a necessary step to help Texas’ overwhelmed border communities deal with this current surge of migrants,” Allred said in a statement to The Hill on Friday. The administration announced Thursday that it will waive 26 federal regulations to begin construction on sections of border wall in Texas, using funds already allocated during the Trump administration. “I have long said that targeted physical barriers have a role to play in securing our border at high traffic areas, but this is only a partial solution,” Allred continued. “What our state really needs is comprehensive immigration reform, including adequate funding for border security personnel and technology.” The decision has generally angered Democrats, who view it as a flip-flop on Biden’s campaign promise not to build another foot of Trump’s border wall. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called on Biden to immediately reverse course, while former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) called the move “impotent political posturing.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4241942-texas-democrat-praises-biden-border-wall/ Edited October 6, 2023 by begooode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really not understand that just because they have to build the wall in high traffic areas, it doesn't mean they have to expedite the process by waiving those other laws? He literally said in his statement that he determined it was necessary to waive them under his sole discretion. I think they just want to have it both ways. Build the wall in these high traffic areas, ASAP, to reduce the border crossings while also not admitting that "walls work" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 The Biden administration is clearly responsible for it …but it sounds like Biden himself had no role or influence in the decision and clearly disagrees with it. But it was left up to the sole discretion of DHS Secretary Mayorkas….who clearly states his conviction that the wall is necessary. It will be interesting to see if Biden takes it all in stride….or if he decides to follow his predecessor’s example by becoming all petty and vindictive, publicly mocking and humiliating Mayorkas personally and ripping him to shreds in the press for daring to go against the Supreme Leader’s wishes.

Agreed except I find it very unlikely Biden didn't know and I'd suspect that he doesn't really disagree with expediting it. Democrats play politics too, guys...

Mayorkas said in a quote that I posted earlier, "that we are compelled to follow the law." He doesn't have any choice. Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The S&P 500 logged its biggest one-day gain on Friday to cap off a turbulent trading day, after the latest jobs report revealed a surge in hiring last month. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained for the week, while the Dow fell. Still, all three major indexes are up for the year. The US economy added 336,000 jobs last month, above economists' expectations of 170,000 jobs. Stocks initially sold off on the news, but staged a midday rally as investors continued to parse the data. "Markets are recovering from this morning’s swoon as investors choose to focus on the positive areas within the payroll report," José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers, wrote in a Friday note. Average hourly earnings rose by 0.2% last month from August, below last year's 4.2% increases. That's below economists' expectations of a monthly increase of 0.3% and annual uptick of 4.3%, according to Refinitiv. Treasury yields also retreated from multi-year highs, easing the pressure on stocks. The Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index inflation reports are set for release next week, and that data could be crucial for the Federal Reserve in deciding whether to pause or hike interest rates at its next policy meeting, which concludes November 1. Friday's jobs report did little to sway Wall Street's opinion on what decision the Fed will make: Markets see a roughly 71% chance that the Fed holds rates steady at its next meeting, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. The Dow rose 288 points, or 0.9%. The S&P 500 gained 1.2%. The Nasdaq Composite added 1.6%. Edited October 6, 2023 by begooode tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
