Op-Ed

During his first day of office, President Biden had proclaimed multiple executive orders and proposed new legislation in support of his campaign promises. One of the said executive orders was to halt the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall and directed his administration to study and seek other possibilities for repurposing the project’s funding and construction contracts. Now Biden’s discretionary funding request for the Fiscal Year 2022 includes no additional funding for border wall construction and proposes canceling leftover wall funds from 2021.
