Biden: “Do you think the border wall is working?” “No” to the question. She answered.
“IMPLEMENTATION OF FEDERAL LAWS HAS BEEN ABANDONED”
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the decision to abandon the implementation of federal laws to build a border wall in Starr County, Texas.
