(2/4) This decision is not without precedent – there have been nearly 60 national emergencies declared by U.S. Presidents since 1976. Similarly, previous governors of New Mexico and Arizona have also declared states of emergency along the border in the past.

(4/4) The situation at the southern border is a humanitarian and national security crisis, and it’s a national emergency. The stubborn opposition to a regulated border is incomprehensible and endangers American citizens.

Civics 101: Control of the Senate simply means you have more than 50 members. It does not equal the ability to pass legislation. For that you need a min of 60 members. This argument is just more ignorance from the mainstream media.

It's so nice you are just willing to abdicate your Constitutional Duties, Article I Sec 8, of Appropriations. Even worse, a POTUS making a claim of an Emergency while admitting he didn't have to do it this way, just wants a wall faster. A phony crisis supported by phony facts.
