Remember when Trump's border wall proposals and subsequent construction were called racist, xenophobic, hateful and an affront to human rights?
One of the hottest "Trump wall" lefty media headlines from the time the 45th president was in office was this doozy:
As for Biden, "bridges, not walls" was the talking point of the day just ahead of the 2020 election:
We must seek not to build walls, but bridges.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 8, 2020
We must seek not to clench our fists, but to open our arms.
We must seek not to tear each other apart, but to come together.

Here's Karine Jean Pierre just a couple of years ago:
In October 2021, Karine Jean-Pierre said a border wall "doesn't work" and "is not an effective policy."

Yesterday, the Biden admin declared an "immediate need" for a border wall in south Texas.pic.twitter.com/71gxxnSx6I
One year and some lousy internal polling on the issue of border security later, and the backpedal begins.
Big pivot alert!

The Biden administration announces that it waived 26 federal laws in south Texas to permit more construction for the border wall after pressure from top Democratic officials to address the influx of migrants in the past year. https://t.co/rNyQ0O4oFb

BREAKING: The Biden administration says there is an “immediate need” to wave regulations and build a border wall as the migrant crisis spirals out of control.

Remarkable. 4 years ago this was “racist.” Now they’re advocating for it.

Just in time for the election, the Biden administration, having allowed millions and millions of people into the country illegally, will somewhat tighten up security at the border and then brag about it ahead of the election. Most of the media will of course play along. Unreal.
Her new talking point until the election. “The President is building a wall.”

That's how it works.
Yes, the hypocrisy and incompetence here is mind blowing but, the part that I'm really struggling with is "Biden administration waives 26 federal laws."

How exactly does that work? pic.twitter.com/RMdiNQjlIO
Maybe the same people who don't hesitate to try and go around the Constitution also feel comfortable just suspending federal laws.
Here's a bonus shot and chaser: After this administration sold off border wall materials it looks like taxpayers will be on the hook for buying much of it again now that the White House has decided to build a wall after all:
Life comes at you fast. Taxpayer dollars completely wasted by the Biden administration, only to be spent again 6 weeks later. Shame. #BorderWall #BidenBorderCrisis #BidenBorderInvasion #Bidenomics pic.twitter.com/UviMpDKnx2

The deviousness combined with incompetence from this administration has been disastrous.
