Republican Congressman Will Hurd of Texas criticized President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration to secure funding for a wall along the Mexican border, saying he believes the action was unconstitutional.
“Building a 30-foot high concrete structure from sea to shining sea is the most expensive and least effective way to do border security,” Hurd told Tapper in the interview. He also argued that the president actually understands that perspective. Trump officially declared a national emergency to build a wall along the southern border last month after a stand-off with lawmakers in Congress over funding for the barrier. The president had long vowed to build the structure, and his failure to fulfill the promise had drawn harsh criticism from some formerly loyal prominent supporters. In his effort to secure funding for the wall, Trump refused to sign a bipartisan budget that did not allocate at least $5.7 billion for the structure.
