The Biden administration announced it will waive 26 federal laws to allow for the construction of the border wall in Texas.
Both political friends and foes of President Joe Biden are stunned by the news that his administration is moving forward with the construction of a wall along the southern border.
The Biden administration announced it will waive 26 federal laws to allow for the construction of the border wall in Texas — the one famously touted by his predecessor former President Donald Trump. "The border wall money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn't. They wouldn't. And in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it's appropriated. I can't stop that," said President Biden.
Even Republicans who have thrown their support behind a border wall have a bone to pick with the president over the waiver.
