President Donald Trump vetoed a congressional attempt to overturn his border emergency declaration, marking the second time he has vetoed such a resolution.
“In short, the situation on our southern border remains a national emergency, and our Armed Forces are still needed to help confront it,†the president said in a veto message Tuesday night, while the top-ranking Democratic presidential candidates debated in Ohio.
The veto marks the end of a second attempt by Congress to end Trump’s border emergency declaration, which has allowed him to reallocate billions in federal funds to help pay for border wall construction.

This was nothing but a smoke and mirror resolution, anyway. The commiecrats knew Trump would veto it but it gave them some leeway to say they are working on the border problem when they are not. 888what
