It just feels so out of left field for the administration. I'm not saying the Biden administration is perfect cause its not, but border walls are not something he has ever given any indication of having as a priority.

I mean, he didn't do anything on it for almost three years, so I'd say it wasn't really a priority

Fair point. Which is why it seems so odd.
