The question I have is, why are there 26 federal laws that prohibit it in the first place?

Part of me thinks that the federal government should be allowed to have — let’s say — 1000 laws. That’s it. If they think up a new law, they have to cancel one of the old ones. The states should have a certain amount of say in your life — but the federal government should be insignificant for most people. The fact that they have 26 laws that come into play for this wall issue is obscene.

trump issued an emergency declaration that overrides the prohibitions. Biden can build the wall and NOT issue an emergency dec because he doesn’t give a damn.
