After the Biden administration said it would use remaining funds from the Trump presidency to construct 20 miles of border wall in Texas, the president said that he does not believe border walls work.
"The border wall — the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get to them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn't. They wouldn't," Biden claimed.
