Didn't they just sell off the excess wall inventory (pennies on the dollar) ?

It was unclear when construction would begin. The statement said officials will move “as expeditiously as possible, while still maintaining environmental stewardship” by consulting affected parties.

Republicans expressed outrage at President Joe Biden on Saturday following a report that the federal government is allegedly selling millions of dollars of unused parts of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

GovPlanet, an online marketplace for surplus government materials, recently oversaw the sale of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of square structural tubes produced by Nucor Tubular that were apparently intended for former President Donald Trump's border wall, a key promise of his 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump has touted the completion of more than 450 miles of the wall during his tenure as president, though most of that was replacing existing structures. Only about 80 miles of primary and secondary barriers were built in areas where there were previously no structures. Biden, who has said a border wall is not a serious immigration solution, ended its construction when taking office in January 2021.
