Open Borders Dems Consider Suing Trump If He Declares National Emergency On Border
We keep being told that Democrats are not in favor of open borders, but they keep offering policies like using drones and cameras so we can watch illegals cross the border rather than a barrier to stop them, and threatening stuff like this
Dems eye lawsuit if Trump declares border emergency
Democrats are eyeing a lawsuit challenging President Trump if he attempts to circumvent Congress and declare a national emergency to build a border wall.
The legal strategy remains in the theoretical stages, since Trump has so far declined to take such a step — and it’s unclear if he ever will.
But on day 21 of the partial government shutdown — a closure prompted by an impasse over border wall funding — Democrats are prepping for the possibility that Trump will try to sidestep Congress and divert other funds to new wall construction by proclaiming the situation a formal emergency.
Increasingly, Democratic critics of that maneuver view a lawsuit as their best recourse.
“Let’s fight it out in court,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a former law professor who represents a suburban district around Washington.
“Let’s get the president’s obsession out of the legislative context, let’s put it into the courts, let’s reopen the government, and we’ll see if he has those powers or not,” Raskin added.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who also represents a Washington suburb that’s been disproportionately affected by the shutdown, said it’s “a safe bet” that any emergency proclamation from the White House on the wall would go to the courts.
“I think it is a face-saving — a rather desperate face-saving — measure by the president that has very little intellectual underpinning to justify it,” Connolly said.
Well, this might be interesting from a legal standpoint, as Congress pass the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which President Bush signed, which calls for 700 miles of double layer fencing to be built, for which there is not much more than 5% built. Congress refused to fund it when Democrats took over the House, and failed to do anything since. Certainly Barack Obama had little interest in building it.
That double layer wall could be more than Trump is asking for, and a federal suit by Democrats could have a judge saying “Congress passed the law, why are you not funding it?”
And maybe it would stop most of
- DA: ILLEGAL ALIEN CAUGHT IN TENNESSEE IS SERIAL CHILD-RAPIST
- ILLEGAL ALIEN (SEEKING ASYLUM) TRIED TO RAPE WOMAN WHILE SHE WAS HOLDING HER BABY
- PREVIOUSLY ARRESTED ILLEGAL ALIENS CAUGHT WITH $200K WORTH OF METH IN NORTH CAROLINA

- PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL ALIEN SENTENCED FOR TRYING TO STAB WOMAN TO DEATH IN PENNSYLVANIA
- ILLEGAL ALIEN KILLED KENTUCKY MAN IN HEAD-ON-CRASH
Those kinds of things go on and on and on. This is what Democrats want to keep allowing.
