Biden Faces Backlash From AOC Over Continued Border Wall Construction

AOC criticized Biden for expanding border wall construction, saying it is "cruel" and "does nothing" to deter migrants.

She urged Biden to "reverse course" on the border wall and examine root causes of migration.

The Biden administration is waiving laws to expedite wall construction in Texas.

Biden said he tried to redirect border wall funds but was unable to.

The border wall construction represents no change in Biden's opposition to walls, per Mayorkas.
