Puerto Rico governor threatens legal action over national emergency declaration

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló on Thursday threatened legal action against President Trump if American citizens foot the bill for his long-desired border wall shortly after the White House said the president would issue an emergency declaration to secure funding for the structure.

"Is it now Puerto Rico and California (American Citizens) that will pay for the wall?" Rosselló tweeted. "If this is the case, we’ll see you in court."

The governor's comments came in response to a September 2016 tweet in which Trump declared "Mexico will pay for the wall!" Trump had made that same pledge throughout the 2016 presidential campaign.

The White House said Thursday that Trump will declare a national emergency to secure money to construct the wall after a bill brokered by lawmakers only included $1.375 billion in funding for roughly 55 miles of new barriers along the southern border.

The move is likely to draw swift legal challenges, and a number of Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns that an emergency declaration will set a dangerous precedent for future administrations.

1. True national emergencies not acknowledged by Trump because DR in those places

He acts as if EVERYONE in California and Puerto Rico, and other blue states for that matter are democrats.

With about a third of California's population of 38.5 million being repubs, those 13 million repubs would comprise the 5th largest state alone. He can only see in black and white. He's such a dog. I know that's an insult to dogs...
