Republicans on Capitol Hill point to the agents on the ground who say the wall is a winner and it’s time Mr. Biden listens to them. “Not only is this administration refusing to take action to address the border crisis but they are actively refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated for a specific purpose,” Rep.
