““Consistent with the President’s Proclamation terminating the redirection of funds for border wall, no more money will be diverted from other purposes to building a border wall,” a Biden administration official said Friday. “Today, the Department of Defense will begin cancelling all wall projects using the diverted funds, and will take steps to return remaining unobligated military construction funds to their appropriated purpose as permitted by law.”

President Biden is demonstrating an ability to bring people together rather than erect artificial barriers that seek to keep people separated from one another. The Border Wall Construction halt is another example of his willingness to risk political backlash to ensure a fairer and more equitable border between the Unites States and Mexico. Now he has concentrate on comprehensive immigration reform to not only stop physical barriers from discriminating but also to help ensure the law is equitable as well.
