According to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/08\/19\/biden-sells-border-wall-parts-to-thwart-gop-push-to-use-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Post<\/a>, an online auction house called GovPlanet \u200chas already sold over\u2064 80 steel \u200cparts, originally intended for the border wall, \u200cmaking around $2 million since April.<\/p>\n<p>This move has raised \u200deyebrows and sparked\u2064 controversy, as critics argue that President Biden is getting rid of\u2064 the unused parts before House Republicans can \u200bpass a bill requiring their use to extend \u2064the border wall. More lots are set to be auctioned\u200c off later this month, further fueling the debate.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Senators Express Outrage<\/h3>\n<p>Last month, the Democrat-controlled Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/senate-defense-bill-russia-bipartisan-9529180a3c79aa3c28d96bd074983e45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed<\/a> its defense appropriations package, which included\u200c a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing the Biden\u200c administration to address \u200cthe border crisis by extending the wall. Republican senators have strongly criticized the administration for selling the \u200dparts, especially as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/border-officials-under-gag-order-barred-from-speaking-to-press-amid-immigration-crisis-report\/\" title=\"Border Officials Under \u2018Gag Order,\u2019 Barred From Speaking To Press Amid Immigration Crisis: Report\">illegal immigrants continue<\/a> to flood across the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Senator James Lankford (R-OK) stated, \u201cThe pennies made\u200c from selling the border wall will not be enough\u2063 to \u2062pay the families who suffer from a criminal act committed by someone who crossed our\u200b open borders\u200b during the Biden administration.\u201d Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), who co-sponsored the bill known as the \u201cFinish It Act,\u201d called Biden\u2019s move \u201coutrageous, behind-the-scenes \u2063maneuvering\u201d and criticized it \u2064as a wasteful decision.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c GovPlanet auction schedule picked up significantly after\u200d the introduction of the Finish It Act and again after the Senate passed the defense package. However, for the bill to become\u200c law, House Republicans must pass a matching version.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans estimate that around $300 million in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-quietly-auctioning-off-parts-of-unused-border-wall-report\/\" title=\"Biden administration discreetly selling sections of unused border wall: Report\">taxpayer-funded border wall parts<\/a> have been abandoned since Biden took office.
