True, but this one is quite a bit different. He would be using a declaration of emergency to appropriate funds that Congress never authorized, or authorized for another purpose entirely. In this case, he would be using funds from the Department of Defense for something completely different. (Contrary to what people keep saying, unlawful immigration is not an armed invasion. It is not even a crime, it is a civil violation.) Worse, it would authorize the taking of private property through eminent domain with little or even no compensation.

I hope he is only using the declaration of emergency as a threat. But if Pelosi and Schumer call his bluff - which I fear they will - this could be very bad news.

Onward and upward,
