Biden attacked from both sides over new Texas border wall.

Mr Biden has said he "had no choice" because the funding was signed off while Donald Trump was president.

While campaigning for president in 2020, Mr Biden promised he would not build another foot of wall if elected. He said it was "not a serious policy solution".

But on Wednesday, his administration used its sweeping executive powers to waive more than two dozen federal laws, including some that are designed to protect wildlife, to allow more barriers to be built along the US-Mexico border in southern Texas.

In a notice announcing these waivers, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said there was an "acute and immediate need" for the construction.

It prompted swift criticism from both major parties as well as from environmental activists and human rights groups. "I tried to get them to redirect that money. They didn't, they wouldn't," Mr Biden said. "I can't stop that."

On Friday, Mr Biden again said that he was "told I had no choice" but to move ahead on the wall's construction.

Jonathan Entin, a law and political science professor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, told the BBC that while Mr Biden is "legally correct" in his argument about the budget, he was under no obligation to waive the federal laws that make construction of the border barrier possible.

I seem to recall trump reallocating funding from defence to wall building.

I'm ok with a border wall, or fence, or whatever is necessary. It probably won't do much in the long run, but I think it's necessary now, if only to shut Trump supporters up.

and?

5 UK Supreme Judges are about to rule on the legality off? You wont know this but we have 12 and it is always an odd number who sits. Unlike your lot ours care about law. Not only that our dictators cannot choose them. Quick lesson because you open well.

You also have issues like this UK would be outlier with Russia if it left ECHR, Law Society says https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/09/uk-could-leave-european-convention-on-human-rights-to-stop-channel-migrant-boats

Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman are first generation and evil.

You frequently open well JVoV?

this one UK Supreme Court weighs if it’s lawful for Britain to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda https://apnews.com/article/uk-rwanda-migration-asylum-supreme-court-84399fdab701cbca1ca5347dfdc8ad72

BBC and the likes of out Gaurdian will say the same of you prefer those? On this case 5 sit it should be 11.
