Austin’s Daily Commentary – October 5, 2023

Austin Rhodes: If you're a fan of old comedies on television, you know what a spit take is? That's when you are reading something or hearing something and you're about to take a sip of liquid, got a cup of coffee, an alcoholic beverage. And what you hear is so ridiculous or so amazing or so startling that you...

That's about how I reacted last night when I saw the headline from the Associated Press. Biden Administration Waves 26 Federal Laws to Begin Border Wall Construction in South Texas. That's right. The Biden administration is allowing border construction to begin marking the administration's first use of a sweeping executive power that was employed often during the Trump presidency.

The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement with few details outlining the specifics. Except that Starr County, Texas, is going to be where the wall starts to go up, that they are saying there is high illegal entry at that point. According to government data, about 245,000 illegals have been recorded so far just this fiscal year in the Rio Grande Valley sector containing 21 counties.

Ladies and gentlemen, Trump was right. He was right on the border wall. He was right on drilling for oil. He was right on being tough on crime. He was right on China. He has been right all the way down the line.

BIDEN Wrong. TRUMP Right. You don't like it. Tough. Building a border wall. President Biden. What an amazing development. Oh, it's so rich. He's going to lose the presidency. It's going to be funny how I'm going to have another commentary where I laugh for 2 minutes solid.
