Biden Halts Border Wall Construction

President Joe Biden has rescinded the emergency order used by former President Donald Trump to justify construction of the border wall, The Hill reports.

Said Biden, in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border was unwarranted.”

He added: “I have also announced that it shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall, and that I am directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to that end.”
