Here is Biden’s actual response:
“The border wall. The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate to redirect that money. They didnt. They wouldn’t. And in the meantime theres nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I cant stop that.”
“Do you believe the border wall works?”
“No.”
The biden administration then proceeded to waive 26 federal laws for the department of homeland security to continue to build the border wall. Let’s break this down for a second.
What would have happened had the administration not waived the federal laws preventing continued expansion of the wall? Unless i am mistaken, unspent budget allocated to the wall would have returned to the department of treasury to balance the budget / return to taxpayers.
So either:
-Biden does not believe that the border wall works, but would still *spend that allocated money on something he does not believe works*, rather than allow that money to flow back to the dept. of treasury…
OR
-Biden does believe that the border wall works, and is lying through his teeth.
At this point, i am not even sure which of these two realities i believe. They are both pretty depressing.
