Trump has done nothing about his month-old 'emergency' other than declare it
WASHINGTON – Nearly a full four weeks into President Donald Trump’s “national emergency” over his claims of an “invasion” at the southern border, his Department of Homeland Security has yet to submit a list of projects for which it needs Defense Department money.
A Pentagon official told HuffPost on condition of anonymity last week: “Once DHS provides a list of the projects they request assistance on, the secretary will determine if DOD can support. If DOD supports, then we’ll be able to start construction.”Trump’s proposed 2020 budget asks Congress for another $8.6 billion, which would be enough to “finish” the wall, according to his acting budget chief Russell Vought.
Republicans close to the White House acknowledge privately that Trump’s interest is primarily driven by satisfying his core supporters who badly want a wall. One outside Trump adviser said the president is not that worried that legislation undoing his Feb. 15 emergency declaration will almost certainly pass the Senate this week with at least some Republican votes.
