The administration is legally bound to use the funding as appropriated, which includes the construction elements of the border wall’s design.
Despite being legally bound to the fiscal allocation and design, the Department of Homeland Security and the White House have continuously called on Congress to cancel the funding. President Joe Biden issued a proclamation on his first day in office, calling the previously declared national emergency at the southern border, “unwarranted,” and the use of funds to build barriers on the US-Mexico border, “a waste of money.”
Since Biden’s tenure began, “a substantial portion of unobligated funds that had been diverted from the Department of Defense (DoD) have already been returned to their original sources,” per the Border Protection statement. However, the Biden administration has not been successful in canceling congressionally appropriated funding.
