The Biden administration has waived 26 federal laws to allow for the construction of a new border wall in South Texas. This decision has sparked controversy, as President Biden had campaigned against building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, he defended the move, stating that he had no choice but to use previously approved federal funds for the construction. Despite waiving these laws, Biden reiterated that he does not believe a border wall works. The decision to waive the laws is seen by some as an acknowledgment of the man-made crisis at the border. The announcement comes as Biden faces increasing pressure from his own party regarding migration issues. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas maintained that the administration's position against the border wall remains unchanged. This marks the first use of executive power to waive federal laws for border wall construction since the Trump presidency.
