Texas to fill the gaps in border wall

 Daily Wire:

“During a Nov. 18 TFC meeting, commissioners unanimously approved a design-build contract that will not exceed $162 million for a total of eight miles of border wall that will fill gaps between portions of the federal border wall,” the report said.

Abbott announced plans for Texas to build its own barrier along the state’s southern border in a statement in June.

“The Biden Administration has abandoned its responsibilities to secure the border and Texans are suffering as a result,” Abbott said.

“The problems along the border are only getting worse due to President Biden’s inaction. Property is being destroyed, deadly drugs and illegal weapons are being smuggled into communities throughout the state, law enforcement is having to redirect their resources, and county judges and mayors are facing skyrocketing expenses. Texas is doing more than any state has ever done to protect the border, but it is clear that more is needed,” Abbott said in the statement.

“In the Biden Administration’s absence, Texas is stepping up to get the job done by building the border wall. Through this comprehensive public safety effort, we will secure the border, slow the influx of unlawful immigrants, and restore order in our border communities,” the statement added.

The state launched the project with $250 million in funding. Abbott also announced a donation page where Americans can directly donate to the effort.

As of December 13, more than $54 million in donated funds have been reported for the Texas border wall.

Biden's dereliction of duty is an impeachable offense that Democrats have ignored to the detriment of citizens in Texas and elsewhere.  Border residents have suffered greatly from this dereliction of duty.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat.
