Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) recently criticized President Joe Biden and his administration’s outgoing efforts to sell off pieces of the border wall before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. Reports indicated that Biden was sought to auction off pieces of the wall at a rate of $5 per segment to seemingly thwart Trump’s agenda to secure the southern border.
Donalds said in a recent interview with Newsmax, “President Trump is right to be critical of President Biden and the outgoing administration. First of all, they created the border disaster. We all know that. The American people know that. Secondly, the material has been sitting on the ground for four years because the radical left Democrats didn’t want to do the simple thing of securing our border.”
Calling out how radical the move is from the outgoing administration, he added, “And let this sink in for the American people, this demonstrates how radical the Democrats still are when it comes to border security, in spite of the fact of the overwhelming victory of President Trump, the political mandate given to President Trump that you have radical Democrats who still live in a world where it is a okay for our nation to be inundated by massive illegal immigration.”
Continuing to blast the Democrats over the illegal immigration crisis that has ensued throughout the Biden-Harris administration, Donalds maintained that the country needs to focus on accommodating legal migration and preventing unlawful border crossings, “The American people need to remember this moment. It sounds like a little cute story, but it is not. It demonstrates how ridiculous and out of touch the Democrats are when it comes to securing this nation and actually making sure we have appropriate legal immigration that actually helps to maintain our cities and our states and maintain safety for everybody,” he said.
Sharing the clip of his NewsMax interview on X, Donalds wrote, “Biden broke our border ON PURPOSE. He refused to build a wall WE PAID-FOR. Communities were destroyed. Innocents were killed. Americans rejected this. And Trump was elected to FIX-IT. With 1 month left, Biden’s now selling-off OUR WALL for PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR. THIS MUST END.”
One patriotic American called out the Democrats in the comments section, writing, “Why though? Why are they pro-criminals? There’s one thing to allow asylum seekers in, but it’s another not to even bother checking to see who these people are. And why sell off the wall when they know it’s what the voters asked for? Why do they act like our money doesn’t matter. They don’t have to work to pay taxes day in and day out so they obviously could care less. And who is buying it? I hope whoever buys this material donates it back.”
