That's not exactly true, but they are picking the wrong hill to die on, for sure. They seem to be saying that they are concerned about a slippery slope, as we all should. Problem is they should have raised that flag when previous presidents took this National Emergency action. Congress granted the Executive this power in 1974. You'd think if it was unconstitutional they would have addressed that sometime in the last 45 years. We will not have a country if we wait for a pro-American congress to fix this border issue.
some have said it’s ‘not an emergency’ despite border agents saying over and over again it is an emergency (I said crisis- i should have said emergency- but some are claiming it’s not an emergency- there is a clear emergency when you look at the massive crimes/murders/rapes etc committed by illegals in this country- border agents know of the crimes these illegals are committing, and know first had it’s an emergency-)-
“U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who represents Kentucky’s 4th Congressional district, was one of the few Republicans to vote in favor of blocking Trump’s declaration.
On Twitter last week, Massie said he agreed with the president’s stance on border security, but not with his methods.
“There is a crisis at our border, but it’s not an emergency when Congress doesn’t spend money how the President wants.”

The Constitutional issue is just a smoke screen to oppose POTUS and please the big money open borders GOP donor class. Follow the money on this one. No brainer.
