Can you please provide a source for Biden repeatedly asking Congress to cancel the 2019 wall funds?

Oh, Whitehouse.gov has an actual timeline.

TLDR, day he became president, Jan 2021, He terminated wall funding he had legal control over, that's what I mentioned about the money going back to the DOD, called for Congress to reallocate cheeto wall funding, that request has been active for 3 years, and there's an official reiteration by the white house for Congress to cancel Cheeto wall funding.
