Paul Gosar: Joe Biden Recklessly Wasting Taxpayer Money by Halting Border Wall Construction
President Joe Biden is violating federal directives imposed by Congress by halting construction of border wall along the United States-Mexico border, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) says.
One of Bidens first executive orders halted construction of the border wall which was funded by the Trump administration in an effort to help reduce illegal immigration.
This month, reports circulated the Biden administration is considering restarting border wall construction to fill in gaps in the barrier. The southern border is nearly 2,000-miles long the majority of which has little-to-no border wall.
