Trump: UNPRECEDENTED— Razor (@hale_razor) February 15, 2019
Why does the Democrat cartel oppose this he is preserving a tiny part of the precious Obama legacy! If Drug cartels were an emergency then why are they not now after Holder better armed them?
Hey, moron…
The issue isn’t whether or not a president has the power to declare a national emergency. It’s whether Donald Trump can conjure one up to grab $8.7 billion dollars for a pet project in defiance of the Constitution, which grands exclusive budgetary authority to Congress.
@Greg: You mean congress authorized the arms to be purchased to sell to terrorists and cartels? Shocking!
The Congress already authorized 50 billion to a southern barrier in 2006. H.R. 6061
And the word is grants not grands oopsy
Obama lied (as always) and said the 700 miles of double fencing authorized was complete
@Greg: It doesn’t defy anything. It is protecting the border and interdicting drugs and criminals. But, Democrats stopped honoring the Constitution long ago; they only invoke it so STOP actions that make the country more secure or protects American citizens.
