Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday there is an 'acute and immediate need' to build border wall in southern Texas, and issued an order waiving some of the country's most iconic environmental protection laws to speed up construction.
Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande and entered the U.S. from Mexico head to be processed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas. said Wednesday that the U.S. has an “acute and immediate need” to build border wall in southern Texas, and he issued an order waiving some of the country’s most iconic environmental protection laws to speed up construction.
On Thursday, the Biden administration plans to be in court to try to stop Texas’ floating wall in the Rio Grande, arguing it hurts river navigation. The secretary previously announced that he would build miles of wall, countering President Biden’s 2020 campaign promise that there would “not be another foot of wall constructed” by his administration.
A Government Accountability Office report last month said wall construction caused “significant damage” to sites sacred to American Indians living along the border. The GAO dinged the government for failing to consult with communities about mitigating the impacts of the wall.
