The Biden administration has come under fire for waiving 26 federal laws in order to construct roughly 20 miles of additional border wall in South Texas. President Joe Biden defended the decision, saying that the Trump-era funding for the barrier must be used to stop illegal migration from Mexico. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas rejected criticism of the decision, saying that the Biden administration was bound by law to follow through with the project. The decision has sparked debate among both Democrats and Republicans, with some arguing that the wall is necessary and others contending that it is a waste of money and a violation of human rights.
