President Joe Biden said he sought to redirect funds to build a border wall but was unsuccessful — as his administration announced plans to add roughly 17 miles of barriers along the Rio Grande in Texas.
“The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money,” Biden said Thursday at the White House. “They didn’t. They wouldn’t.”
Biden suggested the administration’s hands were tied and when asked if he believed the border wall worked responded “no.”
