President Joe Biden’s taxpayer-funded wall for his\u00a0Delaware vacation home\u00a0is getting built while he continues to voice his staunch opposition to building a wall at the southern U.S. border.
\nPhotos obtained exclusively by\u00a0the Daily Mail\u00a0show that construction on the wall around Biden’s Rehoboth Beach home began last week. The wall is expected to cost taxpayers $490,324 because it’s being funded through a government contract via the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
\nThe photos show the ongoing construction of tall white fencing and gray stone pillars on the side of Biden’s home, with a half-wall of gray stone and a large black iron gate at the front of the property.
\nPlans for the wall began in 2021 when DHS awarded a contract for more security at the home, however, the nearly $500,000 cost of the wall is a $34,000 increase in cost to the taxpayer over the original Turnstone Holdings LCC contract price, Fox News Digital\u00a0reported in August.

\nThe wall around Biden’s home is expected to be completed in September.
\nBiden\u00a0vowed to stop\u00a0all border wall construction while campaigning ahead of the 2020 presidential election, telling crowds “not another foot” would be built if he was elected.
\n“There will not be another foot of wall construction in my administration,” Biden\u00a0said during one interview. “I\u2019m going to make sure that we have border protection, but it\u2019s going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. And at the ports of entry \u2014 that\u2019s where all the bad stuff is happening.”<\/p>\n
