It was last installed ahead of a rally for Jan. 6 defendants in September. The barrier\u2019s resurrection comes as Washington, D.C., braces for a U.S. version of the Canadian <a href=\"https:\/\/abc3340.com\/news\/local\/alabama-truckers-head-to-dc-to-protest-vaccine-mandates-government-overreach\">trucker convoy<\/a> in peaceful protest of dystopian coronavirus measures. Vehicles are expected to arrive in the capital throughout the week. <\/p>\n<p>The enhanced Capitol security at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s behest comes after the Democratic leader repeatedly resisted President Donald Trump\u2019s demands for border security and called them \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/nancy-pelosi-border-wall-immoral-expensive-unwise-n749841\">immoral<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not doing a wall,\u201d Pelosi reiterated in January of 2019 amid a government shutdown provoked by Democrats\u2019 refusal to include wall funding in appropriations. \u201cA wall is an immorality between countries. It\u2019s an old way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"MbdwqLxTSIDH56ez7NVKl2RNyo9mwvaX8CEQDHrkIfca3JjQ3WsY4mZ9Rn5eGPOCyBAgzcVFhkJilqKBxp4P\"><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Walls between Washington politicians and their constituents, however, are apparently far more necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, meanwhile, have maintained their opposition to offering the same protection they\u2019ve erected for themselves in the capital to border states. On day one of his presidency, Joe Biden\u2019s first executive orders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/20\/proclamation-termination-of-emergency-with-respect-to-southern-border-of-united-states-and-redirection-of-funds-diverted-to-border-wall-construction\/\">axed<\/a> construction of the border wall put underway by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall,\u201d said the order by Biden, whose Tuesday night speech will be protected by a border wall. <\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s immigration crisis has reached new heights under Biden, whose 2020 campaign signaled a pledge for open borders, provoking South and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/18\/migrant-caravan-heads-to-us-as-biden-preps-to-offer-amnesty-to-illegal-immigrants\/\">Central American caravans<\/a> to prepare for U.S.-bound travel in the event of a Democrat victory.
