Fucking why?
There were funds appropriated for a portion of the wall in 2019 by Trump with the requirement that construction is completed by the end of 2023. Biden asked congress to reappropriate the funds, as he does not have the power to do so, and congress refused. His hands are mostly tied here from what I understand.
Sounds like bs to me. He had to waive laws to do this. And if he didn't do this what would happen? Would he get in trouble with the super president?
Sounds like you a passionate about the topic, do some more reading do you can understand.
So you can't tell me what's forcing the president to do this? What repercussions he'd face and from where?
Don’t be lazy, if you care so much look it up. The other poster already explained it for you and you chose not to believe it.
"President" is not "King"
Money is controlled by Republican Congress.
Republican Congress is not controlled by Democrat President.
