President Joe Biden is defending his administration’s decision to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow for construction of roughly 20 miles of U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Trump signed into law in 2019. Allowing the White House to waive the environmental rules. Do I wish he would have tied up in red tape yes. But this money and the waiver were from the previous Administration. Biden has been in office for three years. Seems to me that makes him look less than enthusiastic about the wall.
Then he could have un-waived them, assuming it was done via executive order. Simply allowing the regulations to protect the things they are supposed to protect, like the environment.
I think it is the https://federalregister.gov/d/2023-22176 and update to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act of 1996. The Executive Order was to bypass the The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Acts

Have you considered the fact that your simple solution likely is based on a simple reality that only exists in your head?
Executive orders actually are that simple. If it was done with one, it can be undone with one.
I said it was a law, not an executive order.
Do you happen to remember the laws name? My recollection is it was all executive orders.
