The President Declares National Emergency

On Friday, February 15, 2019, the Huff Post, posted an article titled Trump Declares National Emergency To Fund U.S.-Mexico Border Wall. As the title states, Trump has declared a national emergency in order to get funds for the wall. Now, this enrages me because he(Trump) is taking money out of other national funds in order to fund his project after Congress only agreed to grant him $1.375 billion instead of the $5.7 billion that he was demanding. Trump has been known to give incorrect information many times in the past and this time is no exception, he stated, "We have far more people trying to get into our country today than probably ever before," which of course is far from the truth, as a matter of fact, the Huff Post says that "illegal border crossings are at their lowest levels since the 1970s." I believe this article is definitely worth the time to read, everyone should be aware of what's happening with our taxpayers' money, this to me seems like Trump is forcefully taking money that wasn't given to him for his projects and it's gross.
