Share via E-Mail Bookmark WASHINGTON: US House lawmakers on Tuesday are expected to pass a Democratic measure annulling President Donald Trump's declared emergency on the southern border, an effort that appeared to earn growing support among Senate Republicans. Trump's February 15 emergency declaration gives him access to billions of dollars to construct his wall on the Mexican border, beyond the nearly US$1.4 billion that Congress allocated for construction of border barriers.
"Don't fall into the Democrats 'trap' of Open Borders and Crime!" Trump and the White House have pressed on with plans to repurpose more than US$6 billion from other sources, mostly already-allocated funds in the Defense Department budget. He has repeatedly declared that rampant illegal immigration is fuelling a border crisis, leading to higher crime and strains on public services.
