"Biden's Auction of Border Wall Parts Thwarts Republican Push for Construction Resumption: Report"
The Biden administration has been selling off millions of dollars' worth of border wall materials in an effort to prevent Republicans from restarting construction. The materials, including steel beams intended for the border wall, have been listed for sale on an online auction marketplace. The administration has already sold 81 lots of these beams for about $2 million. Republicans have criticized the move, arguing that it is a waste of money and compromises border security. They have introduced legislation to use the unused border wall panels to extend the wall or transfer them to state governments for construction. The Biden administration is reportedly rushing to sell off more materials before corresponding legislation can be passed.
