Unprecedented and lawless. The President is planning to declare a national emergency to fund a totem to his vanity and xenophobia. His wall would serve no national security purpose, make us less safe, and could take funding from critical military readiness projects.
On the anniversary of the Parkland shooting, as we see gun deaths reaching record numbers nationwide, we know what a real national crisis is: gun violence. A wall will not fix that.
As global temperatures climb, the ocean becomes more acidic, hurricanes intensify, and sea levels rise, we know what a real national crisis is: climate change. A wall will not fix that.
A failed campaign promise built on fear-mongering and divisiveness is NOT a national emergency. But the President declaring one tonight would amount to dangerous threat to our democratic process.
