Hopefully, they at least switched contractors.

Haha, I doubt it. It's the same law from 4 years ago so everything is probably all the same.

Are you referring to a specific debacle with the contractors, or just the fact that the walls fell apart so quickly and were immediately rendered ineffective after wasting billions of dollars building them?

I just found this thread and tracked down the original for you.

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/05/15/2019-10079/determination-pursuant-to-section-102-of-the-illegal-immigration-reform-and-immigrant-responsibility

Which explicitly states the same language, but from 2019.

Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's the exact same law from 2019

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

yep!

Well, the contractors that the trump administration used were just bratva fronts. So I would hope that we're at least not giving anymore money to violent pedophiles.

Oh, I don't know anything about this. Do you mind giving a little exposition or throwing up a source I can read? Thanks
