Biden to Extend Border Wall Using Previous Administration's Funds

Border security remains a rallying cry among conservatives

On Thursday, President Joe Biden's administration said it will add sections to a border wall to stave off record migrant crossings from Mexico, carrying forward a signature policy of former President Donald Trump.

Trump, who is currently facing numerous indictments, remains the frontrunner for the Republican Party nomination to challenge Biden, a Democrat, in the 2024 presidential race. Trump made building border barriers a central tenet of his first campaign for president.
