EXCLUSIVE: Biden IS building a wall… at his Delaware beach house: As the president faces backlash for his ‘sanitized’ border visit, construction work continues on a barrier surrounding his vacation home for increased security
- Construction started on the wall surrounding Biden’s Rehoboth Beach home
- DailyMail.com exclusive images show workers erecting the tall white fencing
- The front of the home has a half-wall of gray stone and a black iron fence to allow cars to access the driveway
- Project costs taxpayers $500,000 and will be completed in September 2023
Construction began last week for privacy fencing surrounding President Joe Biden’s favorite vacation spot at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
DailyMail.com images show the entire side of Biden’s beach home walled off by tall white fencing broken up by gray stone pillars as workers continued to build up the barrier around the grounds last week.
The front of the property now has a half-wall of gray stone with an opening where cars may enter the driveway.
The project has a price tag of nearly half-a-million dollars.
Images of the newly erected wall, which can now be exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com, come despite Biden administration efforts to stop construction of the border wall.
‘So, walls work at Joe Biden’s beach house, but not the southern border?’ Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan tweeted.

Biden’s team has put an end to Arizona placing double-stacked metal shipping containers along the border to fill gaps in the wall and help quell illegal migration amid a historic surge over the last two years.
Biden announced new immigration policies last week, which includes extending Trump-era expulsion policy known as Title 42, as well as a separate program that allows 30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua to enter the U.S. if they fill out an asylum form online ahead of time.
GOP lawmakers slammed Biden for using his first-ever trip to the southern border on Sunday as a ‘photo op’ next to former President Donald Trump’s famed wall.
Taxpayers are footing the nearly $500,000 bill for the wall around Biden’s beach home

Plans to put up fencing around Biden’s beach home began in 2021 when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a contract for additional security barriers at the president’s private residence at the beach in Delaware.
Since the plan is a government contract, taxpayers will foot the $490,324 bill for ‘purchase and installation of security fencing’.
The new price is a nearly $34,000 increase from the original contract price with Turnstone Holdings, LCC. It’s unclear the reason for the increase, but inflation hikes and supply chain delays could have hit the project – just like it hit every other American.

Construction is expected to continue through the summer this year and wrap in September 2023.
Some locals are happy about construction. Jenn Stone told an NBC News local affiliate that the fencing is important due to the upticks in attacks on political leaders and their family members.
‘Not everybody has the best intentions. If he wants to keep him and his family safe, he has every right to do that,’ Stone said.
