Opinion: It would be dangerous for President Trump to invoke emergency powers to build a border wall

President Trump declared on Friday that he would consider using emergency powers to build a border wall if he can't get the project financed through Congress. But doing so would set a dangerous precedent.

In response to a question during a press conference, Trump insisted he didn't need congressional approval to build a wall.

"We could call a national emergency because of the security of our country, absolutely," Trump said. "We can do it. I haven't done it, I may do it. I may do it. But we can call a national emergency and build it very quickly."

President Trump has every right lawfully to declare a state of emergency and they are scared out of their wits that he will do so...
