NEW MEXICO’S TOM UDALL AND MARTIN HEINRICH ARE AMONG A GROUP OF 15 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WHO’VE INTRODUCED A BILL TO KEEP PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM BYPASSING CONGRESS ON A BORDER WALL. THE MEASURE WOULD PREVENT THE PRESIDENT FROM DECLARING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO TAKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN MILITARY AND DISASTER RESPONSE FUNDS FOR WALL CONSTRUCTION.
IN HEINRICH’S WORDS–QUOTE–“WE CANNOT ALLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RAID TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO PAY FOR A WALL THAT NEW MEXICANS DON’T WANT OR NEED.”
