Biden revokes Emergency order used to fund border wall

United States President Joe Biden has revoked the national emergency order used to fund former President Donald Trump's Mexico border wall project.In a letter to Congress on Thursday, Biden wrote that the order was unwarranted and said that no further tax dollars will be spent on the wall. The announcement is the latest in a series of executive orders from President Biden that have rolled back key parts of the former president's agenda.
In 2019, President Trump had declared a state of emergency over the southern border, which had allowed him to bypass Congress and use military funds for its construction. It is estimated that when Donald Trump left the Presidential office, about 25 billion  dollars had been spent on the project. Biden wrote that it was now the White House's police that "no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall." He said that he is "directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected" toward the construction of the wall. On the day of his inauguration, the president issued a pause on all construction and funding to the southern border wall. He also said his administration would be working on a plan to redirect funding and repurpose the contracts being used for the wall's construction.
