Biden builds $500k wall around his Delaware beach home but still refuses to finish Trump's border wall as illegal migration reaches record 1.7m since start of year
- The Department of Homeland Security is spending $456,548 to build a security fence around Joe and Jill Biden's beach house in Delaware
- New September figures revealed 1.7 million migrants have been apprehended so far this year as Biden continues to halt construction of Trump's border wall
- The White House has continued to cancel construction contracts announcing the end of all contracts in the Laredo and Rio Grande Valley sectors this month
- The work at the summer house began in September and is expected to take three months, and be completed by New Year's Eve
- The Bidens bought the six bedroom, 4,786-square-foot house in Rehoboth in 2017 for $2.74 million
- He has visited twice since becoming president: once in June, to celebrate Jill's 70th birthday, and again in September
Border figures show that 192,001 migrants were apprehended in September, down from nearly 210,000 in August and nearly 214,000 in July. Friday's figures bring the total number of apprehensions this year up to 1,734,686.
Of the 192,00 migrants who tried to cross the border illegally in September, 59 per cent were single adults.
More than 53 per cent of those who arrived were processed for expulsion under Title 42, the CDC's coronavirus public health order, according to Customs and Border Patrol.
Encounters of unaccompanied children decreased 24 per cent, with 14,358 encounters in September compared with 18,806 in August.
In September, the average number of unaccompanied children in CBP custody was 772 per day, compared with an average of 1,435 per day in August, according to the agency.
Only 27 per cent percent of family units encountered at the southern border were expelled under Title 42, while 75 per cent of single adults were.
Just this month, the Biden Administration announced that they are cancelling the few remaining border wall contracts in the Laredo and Rio Grande Valley sectors.
Biden has continued to end contracts and shut down construction of Trump's border wall since he became president. One of this first actions as president was to halt construction to review the project and its funding.
But while construction of the border is being shut down, the Bidens' summer house is now being upgraded, at the cost of almost half a million dollars.
The contract states that construction on the Biden's summer house began on September 21, and should be completed by December 31.
The work is being carried out by a local company in Rehoboth, Turnstone Holdings.
The cost will raise eyebrows, given that the president already has access to a vacation getaway, at Camp David.
The country retreat, in Catoctin Mountain Park in Frederick County, Maryland, has offered every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt a respite from Washington DC.
