\n\u201cOne question on the border wall: The border wall, money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn\u2019t. They wouldn\u2019t,\u201d Biden told reporters in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd in the meantime, there\u2019s nothing in the law \u2013 they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can\u2019t stop that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked whether he believes the border wall works, Biden sighed, \u201cno.\u201d”<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
“\u201cBut on a different point \u2014 and I\u2019ve been trying to get answers from the administration because we just found out yesterday \u2014 why did they waive the environmental laws? That\u2019s something else. And we\u2019ve been trying to get an answer and they can\u2019t give me an answer,\u201d Cu\u00e9llar said.<\/p>\n
An administration official said new construction will use \u201cJersey barriers\u201d rather than digging to bury foundations for the planned expansion in an effort to mitigate environmental damage, but otherwise pointed to precedent for the administration\u2019s waiver announcement.”<\/p>\n
