Part 3/6:
As the Biden team proceeds with these sales, estimates indicate that taxpayers are shouldering significant losses. For instance, last year, the administration sold 700 segments of the border wall for just $200 each, which effectively resulted in a financial loss of around $10,000 per unit to taxpayers—an unsustainable economic decision given the wall's prior state as a national security investment.
While the Trump administration managed to install approximately 455 miles of the wall, Biden's decision led to the cessation of construction on an additional 250 miles. Border patrol agents have expressed frustration, particularly concerning unfilled gaps in the wall that have enabled increased migrant crossings, further complicating the situation at the border.
