Ted Cruz Presses Joe Biden to Fix 'Road-sized Holes' in Levees Left by Donald Trump's Border Wall

President Joe Biden's decision to halt border wall construction may have provided a contract loophole that enabled construction workers to leave gaping holes in a Rio Grande Valley levee system, according to a Texas county official.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last month announced plans to address damages to the flood barrier system, which the DHS noted provides flood protection for residents in the low-lying Hidalgo County. The DHS attributed the damage to construction undertaken during former President Donald Trump's administration, which the DHS said "blew large holes" in the levees.

Hidalgo County Public Affairs Division Director Carlos Sanchez told Newsweek local officials first learned about the "major breaches" within the last month. He said the levee gaps are significant in size.

On April 21, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas sent a letter to Biden calling for his administration to "immediately commence" construction to fix the levees.

1. Huh? Wasn't said wall described as "Perfect" by former guy? Can Cruz admit it isn't perfect?

2. I'd approve of that as long as it includes fixing the road-size hole between Senator Ted's

chin and nose.

3. Vote for Biden's infrastructure and it would probably get done.

4. Tell Cruz it will be in the infrastructure package.

Then Ted can vote for it

Problem solved.
