His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Environmentalists have long argued that a border wall has negative impacts on wildlife and on delicate desert and mountainous terrains. With President Trump's national emergency declaration, those concerns will only grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a decade ago, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security authority to waive environmental regulations for national security reasons. The government can bypass a whole host of laws, including the Endangered Species and Clean Air Acts, in order to expedite border wall construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That concerns environmentalists like Laiken Jordahl, with the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity. On a recent overcast morning, he stood in front of a new section of border fence near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry in southern New Mexico. The 20-mile-long steel fence was constructed last year, replacing waist-high vehicle barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11727929\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11727929 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/wall1-937797ff260eb587d7c756a5a479566ec095ecc7-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"New 18-foot, steel bollard fencing is replacing an old vehicle border near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry in New Mexico.

Now, the Center has joined two other conservation groups in \u003ca href=\"https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2019/border-wall-02-16-2019.php\">a new lawsuit\u003c/a> against the national emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection takes issue with claims that the wall is damaging local environments.

CBP says they have engaged local, state, federal and non-governmental organizations there to \"identify and address potential impacts to cultural, historical and natural resources that may be within planned barrier alignment in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. This is an example of our efforts to protect the environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But new border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley could end up cutting through critical floodplains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Josiah Heyman directs the Center for Inter-American and Border Studies at the University of Texas, El Paso. \"The fence-wall is a huge barrier to the normal movement of water,\" he says.

With President Trump's national emergency declaration, those concerns will only grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a decade ago, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security authority to waive environmental regulations for national security reasons.

It's a highly unusual move from an unconventional president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move came a day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/14/694647564/congress-sprints-to-pass-border-security-package-with-trumps-support-unclear\">Congress approved a spending bill\u003c/a> giving Trump more than $1.3 billion in border security funding, far short of the $5.7 billion he originally claimed was necessary for a border wall. Trump signed the bill Friday afternoon, averting another government shutdown until at least October.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In circuitous remarks in the Rose Garden, Trump said he was \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-declaring-national-emergency-concerning-southern-border-united-states/\">declaring an emergency\u003c/a> because of \"an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Illegal border crossings in the most recent fiscal year (ending in September 2018) were \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration\">actually lower than in either 2016 or 2014\u003c/a> and much lower than at their peak around 2000, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/08/683205814/fact-check-trumps-oval-office-pitch-for-a-border-wall\">as NPR has previously fact-checked\u003c/a>. Many of the most recent arrivals are Central American migrants seeking asylum, citing a fear of violence or persecution back home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Trump spoke, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., issued a statement sharply critical of the president's action. The statement said, in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The President's unlawful declaration over a crisis that does not exist does great violence to our Constitution and makes America less safe, stealing from urgently needed defense funds for the security of our military and our nation. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The President's actions clearly violate the Congress's exclusive power of the purse, which our Founders enshrined in the Constitution. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the public, using every remedy available.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>White House officials say Trump's executive action, including the emergency declaration, will free up about $8 billion for border wall construction. That includes the $1.375 billion in the funding bill passed by Congress on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The balance of the funds include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$600 million from the Treasury drug forfeiture fund.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some $2.5 billion from counter drug activities with the Department of Defense, and some reprogramming from other Pentagon accounts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some $3.6 billion in military construction funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>No disaster money will be used as part of this plan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Adam Smith, a Washington Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee, \u003ca href=\"https://adamsmith.house.gov/press-releases?ID=FD013C98-FEA0-43C9-ACAC-E191FF55BCB2\">called the reallocation of funds\u003c/a> \"utterly disrespectful of U.S. national security and the needs of our men and women in uniform, and it further undermines his credibility in requesting the upcoming defense budget.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House officials say the $8 billion should allow Trump to build as much wall as he wanted to — 234 miles of barrier — had Congress authorized the $5.7 billion he asked for. Officials say plans are to construct a metal bollard barrier, not a concrete wall, at locations to be determined by Customs and Border Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's effort to augment a border barrier funding compromise crafted by Congress in order to still get the wall that he has long promised his supporters is also a risky gambit. Legal challenges and pushback even from some within his own party await Trump in the next phase of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/14/694977662/emergency-declaration-for-border-wall-could-tap-military-funds\">ongoing national political battle\u003c/a> over border security and immigration policy — cementing the issues at the forefront of his bid for a second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Friday that he expects such legal challenges and predicted they would eventually reach the Supreme Court, where, he said, \"We'll win, I think.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't need to do this,\" Trump said in response to a reporter's question about the emergency declaration. \"I just want to get it done faster, that's all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Centrist Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who is up for re-election in 2020, called Trump's planned move a \"mistake\" in a statement Thursday. Collins also argued that the National Emergencies Act was only \"intended to apply to major natural disasters or catastrophic events, such as the attacks on our country.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Such a declaration would undermine the role of Congress and the appropriations process; it's just not good policy. It also sets a bad precedent for future Presidents — both Democratic and Republican — who might seek to use this same maneuver to circumvent Congress to advance their policy goals. It is also of dubious constitutionality, and it will almost certainly be challenged in the courts,\" Collins said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John Cornyn represents Texas, which includes the border region that Trump has claimed is being overrun with drugs and undocumented immigrants, necessitating a drastic response. Cornyn expressed reservations about the president's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My concerns about an emergency declaration were the precedent it would establish,\" he said. \"I also thought it would not be a practical solution because there would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the money would presumably be balled up associated with that litigation. I thought there were other, better alternatives.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to Trump, declaring a national emergency likely seems to be the only way he can claim victory after weeks of back-and-forth over funding for border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bipartisan spending bill and border security compromise legislators presented him with would have given him only $1.375 billion for border barriers. That is roughly the same amount of money for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that was given to him back in December, before a record 35-day partial government shutdown, and far short of the $5.7 billion that had remained his sticking point throughout weekslong negotiations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another shutdown would have been risky, and there wasn't much appetite for going that route again among congressional Republicans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's little support among the public for Trump's approach either. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1096145662826201093\">A CNN poll earlier this month\u003c/a> showed Americans oppose — by more than 2 to 1 — Trump using a national emergency declaration to build a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seems to be one of the messages Democratic leaders will home in on during what is likely to be a new phase in the standoff over border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Democrats' Spanish-language response to Trump's State of the Union earlier this month, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/691822669/california-attorney-general-vows-to-sue-if-trump-uses-emergency-powers-to-build-\">said he would sue the administration\u003c/a> if Trump declared a national emergency to find funds for a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, appearing along side California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Becerra said a lawsuit would likely be coming soon. \"This is not 9/11. This is not the Iran hostage crisis of 1979,\" Becerra said, citing past presidential emergency declarations. \"This is a president showing his disdain for the rule of law and our U.S. Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added Newsom, \"Donald Trump, we'll see you court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Scott Horsley and Tamara Keith contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The statement said, in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The President's unlawful declaration over a crisis that does not exist does great violence to our Constitution and makes America less safe, stealing from urgently needed defense funds for the security of our military and our nation. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The President's actions clearly violate the Congress's exclusive power of the purse, which our Founders enshrined in the Constitution. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the public, using every remedy available.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>White House officials say Trump's executive action, including the emergency declaration, will free up about $8 billion for border wall construction. That includes the $1.375 billion in the funding bill passed by Congress on Thursday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The balance of the funds include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$600 million from the Treasury drug forfeiture fund.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some $2.5 billion from counter drug activities with the Department of Defense, and some reprogramming from other Pentagon accounts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Some $3.6 billion in military construction funds.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>No disaster money will be used as part of this plan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Adam Smith, a Washington Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee, \u003ca href=\"https://adamsmith.house.gov/press-releases?ID=FD013C98-FEA0-43C9-ACAC-E191FF55BCB2\">called the reallocation of funds\u003c/a> \"utterly disrespectful of U.S. national security and the needs of our men and women in uniform, and it further undermines his credibility in requesting the upcoming defense budget.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House officials say the $8 billion should allow Trump to build as much wall as he wanted to — 234 miles of barrier — had Congress authorized the $5.7 billion he asked for. Officials say plans are to construct a metal bollard barrier, not a concrete wall, at locations to be determined by Customs and Border Protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's effort to augment a border barrier funding compromise crafted by Congress in order to still get the wall that he has long promised his supporters is also a risky gambit. Legal challenges and pushback even from some within his own party await Trump in the next phase of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/14/694977662/emergency-declaration-for-border-wall-could-tap-military-funds\">ongoing national political battle\u003c/a> over border security and immigration policy — cementing the issues at the forefront of his bid for a second term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump said Friday that he expects such legal challenges and predicted they would eventually reach the Supreme Court, where, he said, \"We'll win, I think.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't need to do this,\" Trump said in response to a reporter's question about the emergency declaration. \"I just want to get it done faster, that's all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Centrist Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who is up for re-election in 2020, called Trump's planned move a \"mistake\" in a statement Thursday. Collins also argued that the National Emergencies Act was only \"intended to apply to major natural disasters or catastrophic events, such as the attacks on our country.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Such a declaration would undermine the role of Congress and the appropriations process; it's just not good policy. It also sets a bad precedent for future Presidents — both Democratic and Republican — who might seek to use this same maneuver to circumvent Congress to advance their policy goals. It is also of dubious constitutionality, and it will almost certainly be challenged in the courts,\" Collins said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Sen. John Cornyn represents Texas, which includes the border region that Trump has claimed is being overrun with drugs and undocumented immigrants, necessitating a drastic response. Cornyn expressed reservations about the president's decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My concerns about an emergency declaration were the precedent it would establish,\" he said. \"I also thought it would not be a practical solution because there would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the money would presumably be balled up associated with that litigation. I thought there were other, better alternatives.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to Trump, declaring a national emergency likely seems to be the only way he can claim victory after weeks of back-and-forth over funding for border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bipartisan spending bill and border security compromise legislators presented him with would have given him only $1.375 billion for border barriers. That is roughly the same amount of money for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that was given to him back in December, before a record 35-day partial government shutdown, and far short of the $5.7 billion that had remained his sticking point throughout weekslong negotiations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another shutdown would have been risky, and there wasn't much appetite for going that route again among congressional Republicans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's little support among the public for Trump's approach either. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/1096145662826201093\">A CNN poll earlier this month\u003c/a> showed Americans oppose — by more than 2 to 1 — Trump using a national emergency declaration to build a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seems to be one of the messages Democratic leaders will home in on during what is likely to be a new phase in the standoff over border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Democrats' Spanish-language response to Trump's State of the Union earlier this month, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/05/691822669/california-attorney-general-vows-to-sue-if-trump-uses-emergency-powers-to-build-\">said he would sue the administration\u003c/a> if Trump declared a national emergency to find funds for a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, appearing along side California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Becerra said a lawsuit would likely be coming soon. \"This is not 9/11. This is not the Iran hostage crisis of 1979,\" Becerra said, citing past presidential emergency declarations. \"This is a president showing his disdain for the rule of law and our U.S. Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added Newsom, \"Donald Trump, we'll see you court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Scott Horsley and Tamara Keith contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:14 p.m. PT\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump will support a border security funding compromise, averting a partial government shutdown early Saturday — but he also will declare a national emergency in order to build the wall he has pushed for along the U.S.-Mexico border. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"President Trump will sign the government funding bill, and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action — including a national emergency — to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border,\" White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. \"The President is once again delivering on his promise to build the wall, protect the border, and secure our great country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Thursday evening, Congress had easily passed the bipartisan spending deal, which had been crafted by lawmakers from both the chambers. The vote was 83-16 in the Senate and 300-128 in the House, constituting veto-proof majorities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the president's decision removes the threat of another partial shutdown, it also raises the stakes in his push for a trademark border wall right as the 2020 presidential campaign is heating up. Trump's move to pursue additional funding for the wall through the declaration of a national emergency is an extraordinary and unprecedented possible use of presidential power — and one almost certain to elicit efforts to limit the executive branch's expansive authority over what constitutes such an emergency and how one is to be handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump had seemed somewhat hesitant to sign the breakthrough deal that congressional negotiators reached in the wake of a previous 35-day shutdown, the longest ever in U.S. history. The proposal only includes $1.375 billion for border barriers and increases other border security funding — far short of the $5.7 billion Trump had demanded to make his signature campaign promise a reality. Many influential conservatives balked at that figure, which is what triggered Trump to back off an earlier similar funding offer in December that led to the partial shutdown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now he will go along with the offer — by adding his own controversial terms. For some time, Trump has floated the idea of declaring a national emergency to secure the funding he desires, and it's an idea that Democrats and many within the GOP have cautioned him against, both for the potential precedent it would set and legal challenges it almost certainly will face. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said an emergency declaration \"would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that President Trump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TeamPelosi/status/1096184812115767297\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is yet another demonstration of President Trump's naked contempt for the rule of law. This is not an emergency, and the president's fearmongering doesn't make it one. He couldn't convince Mexico, the American people or their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall, so now he's trying an end-run around Congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities,\" the Democratic leaders said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was the first to make the announcement Thursday afternoon that Trump would back the legislative package. McConnell also said he would endorse the president's plan to declare a national emergency, even though the top Senate Republican seemed to previously warn against such a maneuver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he — I would say to all my colleagues that he has indicated he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration,\" McConnell said on the Senate floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $333 billion bipartisan spending package also funds a number of unrelated agencies that have become part of the overall spending fight. The bill also has restrictions on where the fencing can be built, including explicit protections for sites like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725867/butterflies-vs-border-wall-national-butterfly-center-seeks-restraining-order\">a butterfly refuge\u003c/a> in the Rio Grande Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and other top Republicans had urged Trump to sign it, with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, even invoking a high power after the daily morning prayer on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's all pray that the president will have wisdom to sign the bill so government doesn't shut down,\" Grassley said before leading the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Democrats had celebrated the legislation as a victory over Trump's demand for $5.7 billion to build more than 200 miles of concrete wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. The final agreement includes a fraction of that funding for steel fencing that is similar to existing barriers elsewhere on the border. However, that victory was short-lived with the news of the emergency declaration, which Democrats have already indicated they would challenge in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't believe there's any good faith negotiations to have with Republicans if they're going to support the president doing an end run around Congress,\" Pelosi said in a press conference shortly after McConnell's remarks in the Senate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans, and of course we will respond when we review our options,\" Pelosi said, adding that \"Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening, the threshold they are crossing.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said earlier this month in his Spanish-language response to the State of the Union that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723796/california-attorney-general-vows-to-sue-if-trump-uses-emergency-powers-to-build-wall\">he would sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> the moment the president declares a national emergency to free up funds for a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any crisis on our border is of President Trump's own making: family separations, child detention, turning our backs on asylum seekers, and more. There is no national emergency. If Trump oversteps his authority and abandons negotiations with Congress by declaring a fabricated national emergency, we won't only call his bluff, we will do what we must to hold him accountable,\" Becerra said in a statement Thursday. \"No one is above the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could also be a way Democrats in Congress could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725334/if-trump-declares-an-emergency-to-build-the-wall-congress-can-block-him\">seek to invalidate any emergency declaration\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters, Sanders dismissed any possible legal challenges to the emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are very prepared but there shouldn't be [any challenges],\" the White House press secretary said. \"The president's doing his job. Congress should do theirs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Trump ally, said in a statement that this was the right move from the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The budget deal is a down payment on the wall, provides funding for more immigration judges, and does not include a cap on detention beds for violent illegal immigrant offenders,\" Graham said. \"It's now time for President Trump to use executive power, including declaring national emergency, to build the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've heard the arguments that it will be the end of Western order, and I don't believe that. I've heard the arguments that it sets a precedent, as if future presidents wouldn't be smart enough to know they have this option. The president isn't exercising any power that Congress didn't give him,\" said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. \"I don't know how he is going to structure it. It may be there will have to be a vote of Congress. Almost surely someone will try to tie it up in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other senators, however, sounded more skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My concerns about an emergency declaration were the precedent it would establish,\" said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. \"I also thought it would not be a practical solution because there would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the money would presumably be balled up associated with that litigation. I thought there were other, better alternatives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I generally don't think that's a good approach but we'll have to deal with it and see what can be done about it,\" Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said of the impending national emergency declaration. \"But again I want to see what he actually does.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general I'm not for using emergency powers because I think the Constitution is very clear at very — trying to separate the powers. And if we start naming things as emergency, very quickly we lose things — sort of the checks and balances of government,\" said libertarian-leaning Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeland security funding bill would also reduce the number of immigration detention beds from roughly 49,060 to roughly 40,000 over the course of a year. Detention beds became a major issue in the negotiations after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725493/ice-detention-beds-new-stumbling-block-in-efforts-to-prevent-another-shutdown\">Democrats sought to curb aggressive immigration enforcement\u003c/a> in exchange for more overall spending on border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also includes a number of funding changes for programs ranging from border security to energy and environment. It includes $9.3 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Land and Water Conservation Fund, $17 billion in new infrastructure funding, a $1.8 billion spending increase for the 2020 census and a 1.9 percent pay raise for federal workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, negotiators were unable to agree on a number of priorities they hoped to add on to the spending bill. Talks broke down over a measure to provide back pay for federal contractors who missed paychecks during the last shutdown, according to several aides familiar with the talks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That failure forced them to abandon all unrelated policies, like funding for disaster aid and an extension of the Violence Against Women Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders plan to try to address those issues separately, and grants under the Violence Against Women Act will continue to be funded, according to several leadership aides. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The vote was 83-16 in the Senate and 300-128 in the House, constituting veto-proof majorities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the president's decision removes the threat of another partial shutdown, it also raises the stakes in his push for a trademark border wall right as the 2020 presidential campaign is heating up. Trump's move to pursue additional funding for the wall through the declaration of a national emergency is an extraordinary and unprecedented possible use of presidential power — and one almost certain to elicit efforts to limit the executive branch's expansive authority over what constitutes such an emergency and how one is to be handled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The proposal only includes $1.375 billion for border barriers and increases other border security funding — far short of the $5.7 billion Trump had demanded to make his signature campaign promise a reality. Many influential conservatives balked at that figure, which is what triggered Trump to back off an earlier similar funding offer in December that led to the partial shutdown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now he will go along with the offer — by adding his own controversial terms. For some time, Trump has floated the idea of declaring a national emergency to secure the funding he desires, and it's an idea that Democrats and many within the GOP have cautioned him against, both for the potential precedent it would set and legal challenges it almost certainly will face. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said an emergency declaration \"would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that President Trump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is not an emergency, and the president's fearmongering doesn't make it one. He couldn't convince Mexico, the American people or their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall, so now he's trying an end-run around Congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities,\" the Democratic leaders said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was the first to make the announcement Thursday afternoon that Trump would back the legislative package. McConnell also said he would endorse the president's plan to declare a national emergency, even though the top Senate Republican seemed to previously warn against such a maneuver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he — I would say to all my colleagues that he has indicated he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration,\" McConnell said on the Senate floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $333 billion bipartisan spending package also funds a number of unrelated agencies that have become part of the overall spending fight. The bill also has restrictions on where the fencing can be built, including explicit protections for sites like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725867/butterflies-vs-border-wall-national-butterfly-center-seeks-restraining-order\">a butterfly refuge\u003c/a> in the Rio Grande Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and other top Republicans had urged Trump to sign it, with Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, even invoking a high power after the daily morning prayer on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's all pray that the president will have wisdom to sign the bill so government doesn't shut down,\" Grassley said before leading the chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Democrats had celebrated the legislation as a victory over Trump's demand for $5.7 billion to build more than 200 miles of concrete wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. The final agreement includes a fraction of that funding for steel fencing that is similar to existing barriers elsewhere on the border. However, that victory was short-lived with the news of the emergency declaration, which Democrats have already indicated they would challenge in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't believe there's any good faith negotiations to have with Republicans if they're going to support the president doing an end run around Congress,\" Pelosi said in a press conference shortly after McConnell's remarks in the Senate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans, and of course we will respond when we review our options,\" Pelosi said, adding that \"Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening, the threshold they are crossing.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said earlier this month in his Spanish-language response to the State of the Union that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723796/california-attorney-general-vows-to-sue-if-trump-uses-emergency-powers-to-build-wall\">he would sue the Trump administration\u003c/a> the moment the president declares a national emergency to free up funds for a border wall. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any crisis on our border is of President Trump's own making: family separations, child detention, turning our backs on asylum seekers, and more. There is no national emergency. If Trump oversteps his authority and abandons negotiations with Congress by declaring a fabricated national emergency, we won't only call his bluff, we will do what we must to hold him accountable,\" Becerra said in a statement Thursday. \"No one is above the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could also be a way Democrats in Congress could \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725334/if-trump-declares-an-emergency-to-build-the-wall-congress-can-block-him\">seek to invalidate any emergency declaration\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to reporters, Sanders dismissed any possible legal challenges to the emergency declaration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are very prepared but there shouldn't be [any challenges],\" the White House press secretary said. \"The president's doing his job. Congress should do theirs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Trump ally, said in a statement that this was the right move from the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The budget deal is a down payment on the wall, provides funding for more immigration judges, and does not include a cap on detention beds for violent illegal immigrant offenders,\" Graham said. \"It's now time for President Trump to use executive power, including declaring national emergency, to build the wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've heard the arguments that it will be the end of Western order, and I don't believe that. I've heard the arguments that it sets a precedent, as if future presidents wouldn't be smart enough to know they have this option. The president isn't exercising any power that Congress didn't give him,\" said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La. \"I don't know how he is going to structure it. It may be there will have to be a vote of Congress. Almost surely someone will try to tie it up in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other senators, however, sounded more skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My concerns about an emergency declaration were the precedent it would establish,\" said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. \"I also thought it would not be a practical solution because there would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the money would presumably be balled up associated with that litigation. I thought there were other, better alternatives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I generally don't think that's a good approach but we'll have to deal with it and see what can be done about it,\" Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said of the impending national emergency declaration. \"But again I want to see what he actually does.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general I'm not for using emergency powers because I think the Constitution is very clear at very — trying to separate the powers. And if we start naming things as emergency, very quickly we lose things — sort of the checks and balances of government,\" said libertarian-leaning Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The homeland security funding bill would also reduce the number of immigration detention beds from roughly 49,060 to roughly 40,000 over the course of a year. Detention beds became a major issue in the negotiations after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11725493/ice-detention-beds-new-stumbling-block-in-efforts-to-prevent-another-shutdown\">Democrats sought to curb aggressive immigration enforcement\u003c/a> in exchange for more overall spending on border security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation also includes a number of funding changes for programs ranging from border security to energy and environment. It includes $9.3 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Land and Water Conservation Fund, $17 billion in new infrastructure funding, a $1.8 billion spending increase for the 2020 census and a 1.9 percent pay raise for federal workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, negotiators were unable to agree on a number of priorities they hoped to add on to the spending bill. Talks broke down over a measure to provide back pay for federal contractors who missed paychecks during the last shutdown, according to several aides familiar with the talks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That failure forced them to abandon all unrelated policies, like funding for disaster aid and an extension of the Violence Against Women Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders plan to try to address those issues separately, and grants under the Violence Against Women Act will continue to be funded, according to several leadership aides. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
