Biden’s Interior Secretary Deb Haaland admits she hasn’t been to the southern border

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland acknowledged to Congress on Wednesday that she has never been to the southern border region while in office - despite tons of trash being dumped on government property by a record number of migrants.
“Roughly 40% of our southern border is federal lands,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) said during a fiscal year 2025 budget hearing with Haaland. “Is trash on the federal lands along the border an issue?”
“Congressman, I have not been to the border, so I couldn’t tell you that,” Haaland answered.
Tiffany revealed that Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officials told him in February at least 193 tons of garbage had been collected on the US-Mexico border in fiscal year 2021.
But the Interior Department, which both oversees the BLM and manages federal lands, allocated $0 for the clean-up efforts in its annual budget.

What a joke of an administration

Got to love all of Biden's DEI hires. They all have exactly the same qualifications for the positions they hold. None.

Another diversity hire from NM.

She's actually a great DOI director. Its' not her job to run the border.

This is a fine example of why we as a so called nation are in financial trouble. Buckle up it’s coming.

Not much talk about this issue since trump killed the border bill. Put himself over the country. 🤮
