Biden Speeds Additions to Trump’s Border Wall

“The Biden administration in a major policy pivot waived more than two dozen federal laws to allow quick construction of about 20 extra miles to the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas,” CNBC reports.

“During his 2020 Democratic campaign, President Joe Biden had promised that not ‘another foot of wall’ would be built during his administration.”

Reuters: “The administration said Thursday’s action did not deviate from Biden’s proclamation because money that was allocated during Trump’s term in 2019 had to be spent now.”
