Republican officials slammed the Biden administration following Thursday’s quiet revelation of its intention to expand the border wall with Mexico — continuing the construction of the barrier that was a hallmark policy of former President Donald Trump and was subject to relentless criticism from President Biden and the Democrats.

According to GOP members, the announcement is regarded as a “politically convenient” and unreasonably late one, which serves to highlight the “hypocrisy” of the current administration and its policies.

“I don’t believe that President Biden cares about the border,” wrote Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). “But as blue state Democrats see the consequences of his policies, Biden must now act like he cares.”

“This is all window-dressing,” he added.

Cruz also claimed he did not “believe for a minute that Joe Biden cares about border security.”

“He wants our country to be overrun by illegal aliens because he believes they are potential Democrat voters,” he wrote. “All his talk of border security is just window dressing for his radical open borders agenda.”
