Kamala Harris has repeatedly said she would shut down Donald Trump’s border wall project and once called it a ‘medieval vanity project’ and a ‘waste of taxpayer money’.

But now that she is the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has allegedly and suddenly vowed to sign a bill that would allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to continue building a wall along the southern border, according to a report.

Materials for Trump’s wall sit and decay in border states ever since the construction came to a screeching halt when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris took office in 2021.

Trump’s campaign responded to the latest reporting on Harris’ walkback on border policies by claiming she has never been for securing the country against illegal immigration.

‘As a senator, she tried to block President Trump’s construction of the border wall,’ a campaign email noted. ‘And as Border Czar, Kamala Harris halted construction of the border wall.’

‘Maybe if Kamala Harris sat down for an interview she could explain her views on the border wall, until then we can only look to her record of supporting open borders,’ it concluded.

Fox News, August, 2023:

The Biden administration reportedly has been selling off millions of dollars’ worth of border wall materials in a race against Republicans who are vying to pass legislation to finish its construction. 

Steel “square structural tubes” photographed in a storage lot in Arizona were listed for sale on GovPlanet, an online auction marketplace run by publicly traded Canadian company Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, this month. Those 28-foot-tall hollow beams are “excess border wall materials that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers turned over to the DLA for disposition and are now for sale,” the Department of Defense’s logistics agency first confirmed to the Daily Upside and later the New York Post.

GovPlanet, which specializes in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of those beams for about $2 million, according to the Post.

The beams, intended as vertical bollards in the border wall’s 30-foot-tall panels, were sold in five separate lots on average of $212 each. GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of them. Another 13 square structural tubes are to be auctioned off Aug. 23 and Aug. 30, the GovPlanet website says.
