Declaring a fake national emergency when you cannot pass a law democratically is FASCISM.

This is an unconstitutional, illegal power grab and it must be stopped.
Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution:

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A $25 BILLION PROJECT.

THIS. IS. ILLEGAL.
Unconstitutional AND wildly unpopular:

CNN POLL CONDUCTED
Jan. 30-Feb. 2

Should Trump Declare
Emergency to Build Wall?

Yes 31%
No 66%
🔹Undocumented border crossings are at a 20 year LOW.

🔹Trump says 4,000 terrorists were apprehended at the southern border. The real number: 6.

🔹Immigrants commit 1/4th crime of non-immigrants.

There is no “emergency” at the border. IT'S ALL A LIE.
The constitution states that the power of appropriation (the purse) resides with congress ALONE.

Trump seeking to steal appropriation power for himself is an unprecedented attempt to abuse power and ignore the checks and balances fundamental to our constitutional democracy.
