Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, has urged President Biden to stop constructing a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border amid a migrant surge.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., demanded that President Biden 'reverse course' on constructing a wall at the U.S. border with Mexico, saying a 'wall does nothing' and represents a 'cruel policy.' 'The Biden administration was not required to expand construction of the border wall — and they certainly were not required to waive several environmental laws to expedite the building,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.
'I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money, but they didn't. They wouldn't. And in the meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated.' 'I can't stop that,' he added.
