The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars' worth of unused parts from former President Trump's border wall for peanuts - in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.
Just last month, as part of its annual defense appropriations package, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing Biden to stem the worsening migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by extending the wall.
The Finish It Act will make the feds use those materials on new wall construction - or hand the remaining stock over to states like Texas for use in their own border defense projects.
"Leaving the border open to terrorists while selling border security materials at a loss is Bidenomics in a nutshell," said Sen. Tom Cotton, a co-sponsor.
"The pennies made from selling the border wall will not be enough to pay the families who suffer from a criminal act committed by someone who crossed our open borders during the Biden administration," railed Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford.
"Our borders continue to be overrun by an unprecedented number of illegal immigrants, turning every district into a border district, and compromising our national security," Stefanik said.
A DOD spokesman identified the tubes, held in an outdoor storage lot in Pima County, Ariz., as "Excess border wall materials."
