Earlier today, President Trump took to Twitter to slam “open borders Democrats” who are challenging his recent national emergency declaration.
Reviewing the President’s Criticism
President Trump expressed his concerns about his political adversaries via Twitter:
As I predicted, 16 states, led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left, have filed a lawsuit in, of course, the 9th Circuit! California, the state that has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train, with no hope of completion, seems in charge!

The failed Fast Train project in California, where the cost overruns are becoming world record setting, is hundreds of times more expensive than the desperately needed Wall!

A Backstory
On Friday, President Trump officially declared a national emergency after an ongoing impasse between himself and Democrat leaders. The impasse pertained to illegal immigration and the failure of both sides to reach a compromise. This prompted a 35-day government shutdown. After the shutdown, the president gave Congress three weeks to put forth legislation to keep government open and fund the $5.7 billion dollars for the border wall.
