YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Joe Biden said he sought to redirect funds to build a border wall but was unsuccessful — as his administration announced plans to add roughly 17 miles of barriers along the Rio Grande River in Texas.
“The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money,” Biden said Thursday at the White House. “They didn’t. They wouldn’t.”
Biden did not specify if he had made the request to Congress or the Department of Homeland Security.
“In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated,” he added. “I can’t stop that.”
