Biden lets $100 million in border-wall construction material rust

Enough steel to construct 100 miles of border wall - about $100 million worth - is lying unused as another 60,000 migrants head to the already overwhelmed U.S.-Mexico frontier.

Melugin was at the border in La Joya, Texas, where only a half mile of wall was built and people pass freely across the border.

NEW: What does it look like to not build the border wall? Our drone is overhead in Pharr, TX at one location where steel for the border wall has been baking in the sun & going to waste since January.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in compliance with an order from Biden, announced Friday the cancellation of border wall construction in the Laredo and Rio Grande Valley sectors of Texas.

The DHS said in a statement that Customs and Border Protection will now "Begin environmental planning and actions consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act for previously planned border barrier system projects located within the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and El Centro Sectors."

Former Biden Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott told Fox News that U.S. taxpayers are paying millions of dollars daily "To not" build a wall.

Scott noted the "Stacks and stacks of border wall panels," "Hundreds of miles of fiber optic cabling" and "Hundreds of cameras" that are just "Sitting there" in places where Trump had order wall construction.
