Statement from Rep. Crow on President Trump’s Declaration of a National Emergency

WASHINGTON- Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) issued the following statement regarding President Trump's declaration of a national emergency to build a border wall without approval from Congress.

"Congress wasn't willing to fund the President's ineffective and wasteful border wall, so instead he declared a national emergency. His declaration represents a dangerous abuse of presidential power. There is no 'national emergency' at our border. This President knows it, his enablers in Congress know it, and our democracy will not tolerate it."
