'You Can't Build Your Stupid Wall': Mass. Congressional Delegation Reacts To Trump's National Emergency

Good morning, @realDonaldTrump.

Here's the part of the constitution that says you can't build your stupid wall. We'll see you in court. pic.twitter.com/XCppx7TV5S

We don't need a wall.

Mexico isn't going to pay for it.

Diverting funds from the military to pay for it is bad.

Trump is the national emergency.

Happy Friday.

The #NationalEmergency is a sham. The wall was never about security. It's a political applause line the President uses to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment. While his moral authority has always been in question, he is now violating Article 1 of the Constitution. #FakeTrumpEmergency pic.twitter.com/IFWWZknkTF

No matter what Trump says, a border wall isn't going to stop fentanyl from coming into our country, but technology and scanners that I helped secure funding for will. This is the kind of 21st century border security we need. https://t.co/53IMjqzFg8

I want to be absolutely clear: this ridiculous wall isn't a national emergency, and Donald Trump isn't king. We'll fight this with everything we've got.
