Why the Biden administration is selling border wall materials

The Biden administration is auctioning off unused materials originally intended for the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, which was a signature project of former President Donald Trump. These materials, including steel tubes, were left over from the $15 billion project that was halted by President Joe Biden upon taking office in January 2021. The auction, managed by GovPlanet, has seen items like 28-foot steel tubes sold for as little as $150 each, significantly less than their original cost. The sale has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers who argue that these materials should be used to secure the border rather than being sold off. The administration's decision to auction these materials is part of a broader policy shift away from physical barriers towards other methods of border security, although some construction has continued due to legal obligations from prior funding.
