Biden Admin Does a Big 180, Finally Approves Building a Texas Border Wall Amid Massive Surge

There's been a huge development in the crisis at the U.S. southern border. After immediately shutting down the border wall construction when President Biden took office, the Biden administration has now reversed course and approved building a border wall in part of Texas.

The decision comes in the middle of a new flood of migrant crossings – an increase that's weighing down public resources across the country.

The administration is using sweeping executive powers to waive more than two dozen federal laws, allowing the construction of up to 20 miles of border wall in an area of south Texas where 245,000 migrants have crossed this year alone.
