Earlier this year, Townhall reported how a poll showed that a majority of Americans, 53 percent, support the construction of a border wall separating the United States from Mexico. On the other hand, 46 percent of respondents said they oppose it.
The poll showed that support for building the wall increased over the years. Illegal immigration has also increased in recent years. The majority of Americans in the poll, 61 percent, said that immigrants seeking political asylum should be required to stay in Mexico as their claims are processed.
This week, a report broke that the Biden administration is trying to undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts to build a wall.
According to The Daily Wire, the Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul materials for the border wall away from the southern border and be sold off in a government auction.
Video footage of this operation was obtained by the Wire from a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent. In the video, unused sections of border wall can be seen being hauled away in the back of trucks near Tucson, Arizona.
Reportedly, the agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.
“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

Trump has made it clear that he plans to complete the border wall. This hinders this effort (via The Daily Wire):
The government contractor, DP Trucking LLC, is transporting the pieces of the wall north on Interstate 19 to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where it is being auctioned through GovPlanet, a surplus government equipment auction marketplace.
“They just started taking all the wall that was not used, which is still totally good and usable, and they started taking it northbound,” the agent said. “They’re pulling it all off the border.”
Harold Lambeth, the owner of the trucking company, confirmed to the outlet in a phone call that his company is transporting the unused border wall sections north away from the construction sites. He said he is unable to disclose further information about the situation.
