President Biden's decision to resume border wall construction has surprised allies and immigration advocates. This move comes after administration officials participated in an immigration roundtable, where they did not mention plans to restart the construction. Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) members and immigration advocates have expressed disappointment, stating that it contradicts the administration's commitment to ending border wall construction. Biden explained that his administration moved forward with the construction due to a legal obligation to use the appropriated funds. While some funds were obligated to avoid violating the Impoundment Control Act, questions remain about the environmental waivers granted for the construction. Critics argue that building a border wall in certain areas may not significantly improve border security. This decision has sparked controversy and raised concerns within the administration over immigration policies and internal deliberations.
