According to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration is thinking about resuming border wall construction.
Imagine that!

He told staffers that although Biden issued a halt on construction, “that leaves room to make decisions” on finishing “gaps in the wall.”
Citing notes of the ICE session that it had reviewed, the news outlet reported Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the wall, has submitted a plan for what it wants to see happen moving forward.
"It's not a single answer to a single question. There are different projects that the chief of the Border Patrol has presented and the acting commissioner of CBP presented to me," Mayorkas told staffers.
"The president has communicated quite clearly his decision that the emergency that triggered the devotion of [Department of Defense] funds to the construction of the border wall is ended. But that leaves room to make decisions as the administration, as part of the administration, in particular areas of the wall that need renovation, particular projects that need to be finished,” he continued.
Mayorkas said those parts include "gaps," "gates," and areas "where the wall has been completed but the technology has not been implemented," the Washington Times reported.
Mark Morgan, who served as acting commissioner of CBP under former President Donald Trump — and is a sharp critic of the current administration — called Mayorkas' comment "more spin and misdirection," adding CBP has always given the administration options for how to proceed on the wall, the Washington Times reported.
Trump completed about 460 miles of border wall, with most of that construction at places a barrier already existed but didn’t stop anyone who crossed the border by foot, the news outlet reported.

‘Captain Underpants’ Children’s Books Cancelled for ‘Passive Racism’
Just another day in the day and age of cancel culture! Today they are cancelling the children’s book series “Captain Underpants.” The books are being pulled from libraries and book shelves after its publishes declared it “perpetuates passive racism.”
I read those books when I was in middle school, and I truly do not remember anything in them that could even be close to racist. Then again, everything today is racist. Just the character wearing white underwear is probably “racist” to the left.
