    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?

        Yes you're recognizing the liberal urge to defend fascist behavior

        Yeah Congress didn't tie his hands and force him to override laws (which by the acts definition should only be invoked to protect the nation against threats).

        He could just add easily declare his hands tied by the 26 laws he is instead breaking. He could say the wall's completion wouldn't do anything to enhance national security (something i recall libs saying when it was trumps wall).

        This is a lie, plain and simple.

        Yeah, instead it would be a good idea for Biden to give Congress an ACTUAL reason to impeach him, ensuring that either Cheeto Mussolini or Little Rhonda show up and install a fascist state.

        It’s 20 miles of a 2000-mile border. I’ll take “keep defeat of the impending fascist takeover on the table” over “concrete case for impeaching Sleepy Joe”

        It’s a good goddamn thing some of you aren’t in charge of literally anything.

          you actually think ad hominem counts as a debate tactic? Swing and a miss.

          Ill make it easy for you. You make a salient point. Anything with a link showing the class you actually have looked into this and are better than some drunk raving in a bar.

          I can't wait to see you ignore my instructions, show your ass, and give me a greater sense of superiority than you have already provided me today.

          Go
