Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she and a fellow Democrat will introduce a bill to block President Trump’s expected declaration of a national emergency to secure money for his long-promised border wall.
“@JoaquinCastrotx and I aren’t going to let the President declare a fake national emergency without a fight,” the Bronx/Queens Democrat tweeted Friday.
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said in a statement Thursday: “If President Trump declares a national emergency to fund his border wall, I’m prepared to introduce a resolution to terminate the President’s emergency declaration.”

Statements & Releases Text of a Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate
National Security & Defense
Issued on: February 15, 2019
Dear Madam Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Pursuant to section 201 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621), I hereby report that I have exercised my authority to declare a national emergency in order to address the border security and humanitarian crisis that is threatening the United States. This declaration invokes section 12302 of title 10, United States Code, to allow the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of each relevant military department, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to order units or members of the Ready Reserve to active duty in order to assist and support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security at the southern border.
Further, I have invoked section 2808 of title 10, United States Code, and authorized the Secretary of Defense, and at his discretion, the Secretaries of the military departments, to exercise the authority under that section to engage in emergency construction as necessary to support the use of the Armed Forces and respond to the crisis at our southern border.
I am enclosing a copy of the Proclamation I have issued.
Sincerely,
DONALD J. TRUMP White House Logo The White House
the left will fight til their last breath to ave open borders it’s their fight for survival they NEED these people in to vote Democrat they have nothing else
Diga Sra AOC: Dees Eees Ahr Lahnd, Greengo!
The world ends in like 12 years.
3 dollar bill ?
What an idiot. Doesn’t she know Trump has to sign legislation before it has any meaning. Boston Univ. must be proud.
She doesn’t get it. She is being used as a pawn. When they are done with her she will be thrown under the bus and forgot about. Her 15 minutes are just about up.
LOL, I love how Trump is out playing these libtard progressive idiots and getting them to ragequit as a result.....
I swear, she breaks wind and the press wants to know the dinner menu.
If , Trump already did it ,so get stuffed
We hope.
Advisor: Mr.President I have to remind you that as much as we all respect your power in this emergency declaration, there is a higher power over you who expects you to be humble before them.
Trump: Yes, of course. Just yesterday I spoke again with Rev.Franklin Graham about the need to seek God’s will and work within His Plan
Advisor: Uh, uh, I meant Ocasio Cortez is planning a bill to block you and wants to get a judge to delay your plan for 2-3 years. She doesn’t like your Wall plan at all.
Trump already signed. She is following the proper procedure an emergency declaration can be overturned by joint resolution of congress.
Can we stop posting crap about CORTEZ ... she’s nothing and every post plays to their hand of “creating” her like they did Obama. We should just ignore the noise.
This will likely go to the supreme court....and Trump will win.
Hahahaha! I almost feel sorry for AOC.
No way is she doing this on her own. Someone has set her up to do every stupid thing they want done.
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
..The world ends in like 12 years....
Oh my God!
Its like gag me with a spoon.
Just so not cool.
Hate that orange man....
>>>“If President Trump declares a national emergency to fund his border wall, I’m prepared to introduce a resolution to terminate the President’s emergency declaration.”<<<
These people are so stupid and ignorant of our Constitutional form of government that it is incredible that they are serving in the legislative body.
They should be removed from office purely on the basis that they are too dumb by halves.
