From your link:

"In a statement, Stefanik said she agrees with Trump's goal of “securing our border” but she added that “declaring a national emergency that will take funding from our country's military construction projects is the wrong decision.”

Stefanik went on to note that she had been an outspoken critic of President Barack Obama's use of executive orders. “No matter what Party is represented in the White House,” Stefanik wrote, “I will stand up against executive action that circumvents Congress.”

Seems to me her position was similar to that of Rand Paul, who I strongly back on most policies.
Plus President Trump used an EO on this anyways.
