Biden Claims Border Wall Doesn't Work Day After His Admin Touts New Construction
Reagan Reese
President Joe Biden said he doesn’t think that a border wall is effective just a day after his administration cleared a path to allow more construction of the border wall on federally protected land in Texas.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will construct a portion of a border wall in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas amid a surge in illegal immigrants entering the country, according to an unpublished Wednesday federal register filing. Biden told reporters Thursday that he tried to get his administration to redirect the money being spent on the border wall but under the law, he “can’t stop that.”
“The border wall money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money,” Biden said. “They didn’t. They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that.”
When asked by a reporter if he thinks the border wall works, all the president had to say was “no.”
