On Thursday, the Government Accountability Office said it\u2019s investigating Biden for freezing border wall funds, because that money had already been appropriated by Congress.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NEW<\/a> The Government Accountability Office has launched an investigation into the legality of President Biden\u2019s move to halt construction of the southern border wall<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greta Wall (@GretaLWall) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GretaLWall\/status\/1374751182346850304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Officials suspect Biden\u2019s actions are unconstitutional because they challenge Congress\u2019s power of the purse.<\/p>\n<p>Back in January, Biden signed an executive order to withhold $1.4 billion allocated for wall construction. The GAO opened the probe after 40 Republican senators challenged Biden\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he first got to office on the first day, immediately rescinded, revoked the emergency declaration with respect to the border, and since that time, things have deteriorated quickly. They\u2019ve relaxed enforcement, they have quit building the border wall,\u201d Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) stated. \u201cWhen the previous administration was in office, they kept stability at the border, there was order, there was discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Halting&nbsp;border wall&nbsp;construction, reducing enforcement, pausing deportations&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;Biden sent the message loud &amp; clear that&nbsp;our border is open.
