Attor­ney Gen­er­al Ken Pax­ton Pre­vails Over Biden’s Unlaw­ful Attempt to Redi­rect Mon­ey Away from Bor­der Wall Construction

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has secured a preliminary injunction against an attempt by the Biden Administration to illegally redirect statutorily obligated funds away from the construction of a border wall.

Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, Congress dedicated roughly $1.4 billion to the construction of walls and barriers along the southern border in order to reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the country. Immediately upon taking office, President Joseph Biden issued an executive order demanding construction stop and directing the Department of Homeland Security to devise a way to redirect the funds.

Texas sued to stop this scheme and to require the Biden Administration to follow the law and use the appropriated money for the purpose Congress directed. A federal district court agreed with Texas and has now issued a preliminary injunction to prevent the Administration’s effort to illegally defund the border wall.

“Biden acted completely improperly by refusing to spend the money that Congress appropriated for border wall construction, and even attempting to redirect those funds,” said Attorney General Paxton. “His actions demonstrate his desperation for open borders at any cost, but Texas has prevailed.”

BREAKING: In 2020, Congress passed a law ordering @POTUS
 to finish President Trump’s border wall.

We just obtained a court order blocking him from illegally using your tax dollars on pet projects while the border remains open.

Biden must use the funds to finish the border wall

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
That would probably work with any other president, but I doubt resident Biden, will give a rats ass what some lower court rules considering he boasts about ignoring the Supreme Court. I don't want to say anything that gets me or anyone else in trouble, so I deleted everything else I wrote :whistle:

NONE of em give a rat's ass. All of em been stalling ever since Duncan Hunter passed the border wall bill in 06 or 07. None of em, Dem or Pubbie. Both have had super majorities since then, both have had powerful administrations.

It's all bullshit. Sooner or later you figger out they're pullin the wool over your eyes.

Judge Blocks US Administration From Illegally Diverting Border Wall Funds

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Biden administration from unlawfully redirecting taxpayer funds away from the construction of a wall along the southern border.

Southern District of Texas District Court Judge Drew B. Tipton granted a preliminary injunction after Texas and Missouri sued to stop the scheme, which included diverting the money to other projects like environmental remediation.

“Whether the Executive Branch must adhere to federal laws is not, as a general matter, an area traditionally left to its discretion,” Judge Tipton wrote in his order. The executive branch includes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Such orders in the past have never stopped the administration from engaging in their nefarious activities. **nononono*

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Conservatism is going to have to be rebuilt from the state level and this is another perfect example of that

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be taking time to rest on his laurels, but keeps getting back into the fight.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe that's why the lawfare bastards are so desperate to get rid of him.  :whistle:
