As the clock ticks down on the Biden administration’s final days in office, a shocking revelation has emerged that underscores the depths of their disdain for the will of the American people. The administration, in a last-ditch effort to undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s border security agenda, is reportedly scrambling to auction off unused sections of the border wall—a project that was halted under Biden’s disastrous tenure. This brazen act of sabotage is not just a slap in the face to Trump — and the entire country that mandated change with his election victory — but a direct assault on the nation’s security and the rule of law.
According to an anonymous U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent, the Biden administration is removing up to half a mile of border wall material per day from key areas like Tucson, Arizona—a region notorious for illegal crossings. The materials, which have been rusting at the border since Biden halted construction in 2021, are being transported north to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where they are being auctioned off by GovPlanet, a government surplus equipment auctioneer. The auction website shows that sales have already occurred, with more scheduled for December 11 and 18. These steel bollard wall sections, once intended to protect our nation’s sovereignty, are now being sold off for as little as $5.00 per section.
This is nothing short of a national disgrace. The Biden administration’s actions are a transparent attempt to hamstring Trump’s ability to secure the border immediately upon taking office. By auctioning off these materials, the administration is ensuring that Trump will face significant delays in fulfilling his promise to complete the wall—a promise that was a cornerstone of his successful 2024 campaign. The anonymous agent stated, “When Trump comes back, and he wants to start the border wall all over again, the whole entire funding fight is gonna happen again. That’s their play. He’s gonna have to fight for this—again.”
The implications of this move are staggering. The border wall, a project championed by Trump during his first term, was instrumental in reducing illegal crossings and deterring criminal activity along the southern border. Under Biden, however, the wall’s construction was halted, and the administration has since presided over a surge in illegal immigration, drug smuggling, and human trafficking. Now, in their final weeks, the Biden administration is doubling down on their destructive policies by selling off the very materials that could have been used to secure the border once and for all.
Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ), whose district includes Pinal Airpark, has condemned the Biden administration’s actions as “a direct affront to the will of the people.” Crane, a staunch advocate for border security, stated, “The American people gave President Trump a mandate in November, which included the fulfillment of his plans to secure the border. Any last-ditch attempt to obstruct this mandate by the Biden Administration would be a direct affront to the will of the people.”
Dangerous, petty politics
The Biden administration’s refusal to cooperate with the incoming Trump administration is not just petty; it is dangerous. The border wall is not a “vanity project,” as Democrats like Kamala Harris once claimed, but a vital component of our national security infrastructure. The materials being auctioned off are still usable and could have been deployed to protect our borders from the ongoing crisis. Instead, they are being sold off at bargain prices, a clear indication of the Biden administration’s priorities: undermining Trump at any cost, even if it means endangering the American people.
The Biden administration’s actions are a stark reminder of the deep-seated animosity that has defined their tenure. From the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to the open-border policies that have flooded our communities with illegal immigrants, the Biden administration has consistently prioritized ideology over the safety and security of the American people. Their final act—auctioning off the border wall materials—is the culmination of this destructive agenda.
As Trump prepares to take office, he must not allow the Biden administration’s sabotage to derail his plans to secure the border. The American people have spoken, and they have demanded action. It is time for the Biden administration to step aside and allow the incoming Trump administration to fulfill its mandate. The future of our nation’s security depends on it.
