In 2020, Mr Biden promised he would not build another foot of wall if elected.
Do we have a list of Biden's campaign lies?
"Nothing will fundamentally change" is the only campaign promise he kept. You know the one liberals kept telling us we're taking it out of context

Holy shit they say he got covid under control lol
He did! By getting the CDC to stop counting COVID numbers, we solved COVID
I seem to remember another president that was widely mocked (correctly) for suggesting this as a solution.
Libs literally only problem with Trump is he says the quiet part out loud.

There will be no mental gymnastics because liberals simply won't acknowledge this

This is the most progressive wall in American history so it's okay 
You see for Trump and Republicans the cruelty is the point, but for Democrats the cruelty is just an unfortunate consequence
Reminds me of back on reddit when someone pointed out to a lib that they stopped caring about the migrants being in concentration camps the moment Biden became president and the response was "Well where else are we supposed to put them?"
How about shutting the camps down and allowing free travel
Especially when all those people complain we don’t have enough workers in the United States
This is an evidence based wall. It's a smartwall you absolute simpleton.
Or more likely: It doesn't look like anything to me.
This is actually what libs are saying on 
. “Trump wanted a wall from coast to coast, this is more strategic and just patches up gaps in the middle.” Obviously no one acknowledging the environmental impacts or destruction of indigenous graves. Then you have the “liberal as they come” clowns saying this is good, actually, because the country is being overrun and we can’t house everyone. Lastly, the Russiagate drips who are saying our adversaries are encouraging mass migration to destabilize the US.
Honestly, the last few weeks have made me go from thinking these shitstains need 
to thinking they deserve

"Congress appropriated fiscal year 2019 funds for the construction of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHS is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose," the statement said.
They were just following orders
is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose
Biden is the president, the Democrats control the senate. What you're telling me is that they can literally bomb Pakistan if they want, but they can't use that money to feed the poor instead of building a wall that won't stop people from entering the USA.

Im seeing people argue this relentlessly. If it fails, they point to the "new student debt relief" but this is pretty blatant lol.
That’s why it’s extra fucking evil that it’s not even NEW debt forgiveness. They’re just finally getting around to doing what was mandated they do in prior years which just wasn’t getting done.
“We’re doing what we were supposed to be doing all along but years late, applaud for us!”

'Biden Approves new section of border wall as Mexico crossings rise'
Wonder if they have an analogous headline about Trump doing this same thing, preferably while conveying the same basic info with a different tone.
'Why Trump’s border wall is not just a wall'
Not quite right, it doesn't mention anything about crossings in the title.
'The cascade of false claims as Trump makes his case for a crisis on the US-Mexico border'
Found it
Fucking liberals.
At least one of the authors of that article is (kind of) hounding dems about the new wall. But another one of the co-authors also spit out this piece:
As Mexico cracks down on migrants, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador gains leverage with Washington
First line in the article:
Last month, as the Biden administration scrambled to manage the latest wave of migrants overwhelming the US southern border, top US immigration authorities crossed into Mexico for an emergency meeting.
Walk off a bridge, Shortell.
It's not about stopping illegal aliens it's about "crossings" and it's not the dems fault anyway it's that imposing, all powerful Mexican president that's twisting Unca Sam's arm and Biden would much rather not make children walk through razer wire but we just didn't vote hard enough thanks to you tankies.
can't get that image someone posted a week or two ago of the anguished child trying to get free of razor wire at the Rio Grande out of my head
A relative of mine posted that picture on his Facebook and it got a bunch of "laugh" reacts from his friends.
I never wanted to [redacted] a bunch of people more after reading a social media post than that instance. So I did the next best thing and told him that I thought he was smarter than having a bunch of inhuman shitheads for friends.
The post disappeared. Either he deleted it or blocked me from seeing it. Oh well.
Love it when the good president does the good things, like build fash walls that don’t do anything but demonize brown people and waste money, especially when they violate indigenous graves to do it!!!
Thanks Biden
The /r/politics thread is horrid
This is absolutely a good thing! He's showing he is willing to work with Republicans so that moderates who are turned off by Trump can feel comfortable voting for him. This way, when he tries to do something that affects~~real people~~...~~me~~...hard-working Americans, the Republicans won't just shut him down like they did to Obama, (who, let's be honest, had it coming with all that socialist medicine bullsh!t)
If you think about it, it's actually really good for the migrants (no person is illegal) because it will encourage them to stay home and not cross the dangerous desert. I applaud this humanitarian move.

Information like this can never meaningfully change their positions because they're bought into a heavily mediated information bubble that filters out or discredits any criticism of the Biden regime. The DNC has created its own heavily mediated bizarro version of Qanon.

Death to America
Most progressive platform in history
well gotta face something I guess
This is basically their argument.
"Sure Biden explicitly said he wouldn't build one new inch of wall but these are funds that were already earmarked and if they don't use them it goes away so it would be a waste of money not to."
"Why not just not use the money and not build the wall"
"You don't know how politics wprks"
"Why not just not use the money and not build the wall"
That would be rude and disrespectful to the 2019 members of Congress.
