Emergency declarations should not be taken lightly. President Trump has made a strong case that there’s a humanitarian crisis at our southern border – and I agree.

It’s Congress’ duty to ensure the President is acting within his constitutional authority to address that crisis. After research and consideration, I believe Trump is acting within his authority to take this action.

Emergency declarations do not allow the President to circumvent the Constitution. President Trump’s exercise of national emergency powers is limited. He is not creating a new law or allocating additional funding. He is re-appropriating money already set aside for other projects.

It will be important that Congress continues to monitor and review the president’s role in this process to ensure the actions taken are within constitutional and statutory authority.

Do you still represent Pennsylvania? We need roads and bridges repaired - not a wall.

"He is re-appropriating money already set aside for other projects" And some of those projects are military projects. So how can you be pro-military and allow this?

You don’t schedule an emergency. Trump said he didn’t need to do this, he just wanted it done faster. How can you support that.

Bull Shit Lloyd, This is not a emergency. It wasn’t an emergency the last 2 years. This is an incredible slippery slope to the democracy of this country.
