Sen Ernst calls out Biden's 'hypocrisy' for selling off border wall parts as construction resumes
Fox News
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, urged President Biden to use existing border wall materials instead of auctioning them off, emphasizing the need for border security amid record migrant crossings.
"I am pleased you relented on your campaign promise that ‘there will not be another foot of wall constructed on [sic] my administration,'" she wrote. "While this acquiescence to commonsense is welcomed, I urge you to build the wall using some of the materials you have on-hand, rather than auctioning them off for pennies on the dollar."

"If your administration is seeking to build more wall, I would encourage you to do so. In fact, I know somewhere you can get barrier materials on the cheap! Your own government is auctioning off materials—specifically purchased by the last administration to construct a border wall—starting at a bargain bid of $5 a lot," she wrote.
