White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified that resident Biden does not actually want the border wall expedited by his administration.
Jean-Pierre, speaking to the press Thursday, said Biden is opposed to the border wall demanded by his Department of Homeland Security and immigration officials.
"This is a law that we are complying with. We have asked Congress multiple times to reappropriate [funding for the wall]. This is not the way that we believe is going to be effective here," she said.
"We believe in modernizing the system, not actually building a wall. The president said himself he does not think this is effective.
"We think there are other ways to do that, whether it's smarter, more effective border security measures — like border technology — we believe that works when you modernize that and also land ports of entry. We believe that's what works to deal with border security."
Through a series of conflicting internal statements, the Biden administration has been put in an awkward position of actively waiving federal laws to begin construction of barriers on the southern border at the same time its official stance is ostensibly opposed to the project on ethical grounds and questioning its effectiveness.
At the press conference Thursday, Jean-Pierre seemed to attribute the construction of the border wall to former President Donald Trump's administration.
"[Biden] has been very clear about this. He doesn't believe the border wall is effective. And that has not changed. That has not changed. We are complying by the law. DHS is complying by the law," the press secretary said. "But that appropriation came from fiscal year 2019 under the last administration, Republican leadership. And that's what you're seeing now."

Let me get this straight....
We have to waive 21 laws and regulations to build the wall, to comply with the law?
Democrat (lack of) logic is so hard!
Is anyone really buying this truckload of b.s.?
Construction will stop the day after the election.
The construction will never really begin.
This dipsh!t leftist pervert thinks a border wall won’t ‘work’ because he’s already got it drilled in that pea brain of his about, “how to put holes in it in convenient places” where he can set up more efficient Welcome-to-America entry points where they:
Don’t do any medical screening,
Don’t run background and fingerprint checks,
Don’t get any information about end destinations and jobs, and
where they can
Give them cash ID spending cards,
Give them ID cards so they can vote, and gather them together efficiently to disperse throngs of them via colluding contracted NGOs throughout small and middle-town America.
Watch for them to build it with 5-foot gaps every 20 feet or so just to show how ineffective POTUS-45’s wall is!
(Yes, I think they are that devious)
Democrat (lack of) logic is so hard!

It certainly won’t help getting all of the illegal aliens out of the country!
Don’t get too excited. Per the initial press release, it’s only for a 20 mile stretch of wall in Texas.
There should be plenty of funds left over to cut concertina wire in the remaining mileage.

Except they're not doing that! Such liars...
Biden has broken the law every day he’s been in office. It’s ridiculous to argue that his hands are tied.
They believe in “modernizing the system” to benefit themselves. Failing that, they just ignore the law.
This Administration is a bunch of incompetent liars.
This is all a head fake. I suspect these funds that Trump left behind are being rerouted to The Ukraine slush funds. Remember the last day or so when pedoBiden made the statement that he found a way around Congre$$ to fund the Ukes.

The House under McCarthy passed this. It starts the wall again. Biden said he would veto it. There’s a lot in it.
They're desperate. It's just another BS project for Democrats to scam money and stuff their pockets...while they can.
It has (will have) nothing to do with boarder security or building a wall.
The very definition of doublespeak
