Battleground state rancher ‘outraged’ by Biden stopping wall construction as migrants pour into US
Fox News
Arizona rancher Jim Chilton says he has had more than 3,500 migrants come across the border since the Biden administration took office and stopped wall construction.
Some of that construction occurred on the Chilton ranch with plans to keep building. However, when President Biden took office in 2021, construction stopped abruptly. Contracts were canceled and a stretch of land on the Chilton ranch was left either open or with Normandy barriers which are easy to traverse. There has been some construction under the Biden administration, but it has been largely limited to repairs and some small gaps.
