Joe Biden is quietly selling off Trump’s border wall as unused parts are sold at auction for MILLIONS of dollars in profit: President rushes to sell as bill forces him to EXTEND migrant barrier

• The Biden administration has used a site called GovPlanet, which offers online auctions for military surplus 
• The wall that would attempt to slow migration from Mexico to the US has always been controversial 
• However, most Americans support completing the wall , according to a recent DailyMail.com/TIPP poll

The Biden administration is quietly selling off parts of Donald Trump’s border wall to try to thwart Republicans who want to force it to be extended.

A website called GovPlanet, which offers online auctions for military surplus, listed hundreds of unused parts of the southern barrier in recent months.

Since April 81 steel square structural tubes – which would have been used within the wall’s 30ft panels – have been sold for a profit of $2million.

On Tuesday officials sold over 700 28ft hollow beams in five separate lots for $212 each. Over a dozen are also up for grabs at auctions over the next two Tuesdays.

It comes despite the Democrat-led Senate voting through part of a Republican-sponsored bill that would bring about extending the wall.

[. . .] Another main issue in Cochise County is the high number of ‘military-aged men dressed in camo crossing in the dead of night,’ say Republicans.

They do not willingly turn themselves in to authorities and therefore put law enforcement at risk during high-speed chases.

The hearing also occurred following reports Tuesday morning that heavily armed Mexican cartel members crossed the border into Texas – and have yet to be apprehended.
