Biden forced to either use border wall materials or transfer them to states under new GOP bill
Fox News
Senate Republicans introduced a bill to require the federal government to utilize its unused materials for a border wall that it spends $130,000 per day storing.

The "Finish It Act," introduced by Sens. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a plan to Congress for using, transferring or donating these materials "for the express purpose of constructing a permanent physical barrier to stop illicit human and vehicle traffic along the border of the United States with Mexico." The bill also puts pressure on states to use the materials to keep building the wall, by requiring them to pay back the cost of these goods if they are not used within two years.
Wicker said the bill is necessary to ensure either the Biden administration or the states finally take steps to secure the border.
