President Biden famously promised not to build “another foot” of border
wall during his presidency, but he’s willing to spend $950 million on
upkeep of the existing infrastructure.

The Biden administration — which reversed course last month and announced
it will build a new section of wall in Texas — allocated the money to
repair and upgrade existing border walls in the Lone Star State,
California and Arizona, according to a court filing.

Customs and Border Protection reported that four separate contracts have
been awarded for “remediation work and system attribute installation” at
sites in Tucson, San Diego, El Paso and El Centro.

The work will include the installation of cameras, new roads and
“detection technology” that will make the barriers more effective in
stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, documents state.

Remediation work will fill in border gaps, install gates, fix nearby
patrol roads and address erosion and drainage issues in the immediate
areas.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted this week 600,000 people illegally made their way into the United States without being apprehended by border agents between September 2022 and Oct. 1 of this
year.
