This is plainly a power grab by a disappointed President, who has gone outside the bounds of the law to try to get what he failed to achieve in the constitutional legislative process.

.@realDonaldTrump’s unlawful declaration over a crisis that does not exist does great violence to our Constitution and makes America less safe, stealing from urgently needed defense funds for the security of our military and our nation.

@realDonaldTrump’s actions clearly violate the Congress’s exclusive power of the purse, which our Founders enshrined in the Constitution. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the public, using every remedy available.Show this thread -

Do your job and secure our border, Nancy.

Border’s secure. But there’s a lunatic masquerading as President.

Say that to the face of an Angel Mom or Dad.
#FinishTheWall -
“Angel Moms and dads” are a racist propaganda tool and a statistical insignificance because immigrants COMMIT LESS CRIME than native born Americans. Educate yourself and stop believing Trump; he’s a known serial pathological liar.

I’m trying to figure out why, if this is an emergency situation, Trump headed to Florida and Congress didn’t cancel it’s recess.

In the meantime Trump stayed in the White House during the shutdown. While Nancy and the gang were on vacation, then their three day weekends

Why didn't the GOP fund the wall when they controlled the entire government for two years? If it's such a crisis, why didn't he sign the original bill that gave him the $25b funding he'd requested? Most importantly, where's the money from Mexico?

So any time a president loses an argument, he should just declare an emergency? I thought you guys liked to call yourselves “Constitutionalists.”

I guess it must be nice to be so blind you ignore the caravans that are marching to the border. 4,000, 10,000 illegals at a time! It’s become the new thing to do, hence, a crisis! Do you not ever look at other news sources other than liberal owned???

I live at the border. There are no caravans. Immigration is down to a 40 year low. There is no crisis. If there were, why didnt they build a wall the past 2 years when Republicans had control of the presidency and Congress?
#FAKENationalEmergency -
They are held in Mexico and being let in in groups to process asylum requests. You SERIOUSLY do not look for other news sources to verify what you are saying? Yes, there are caravans of thousands. You can actually find news channels of Tijuana to verify they are there.
#Clueless -
I read multiple news sources. Gosh yes, lots of asylum seekers. We def need to expand the bureaucracy that handles them. Not a lot of relevancy to a 2000-mile concrete wall
