This morning, President Donald Trump officially declared a national emergency to get funding for the border wall.

His administration says he will have access to $8 billion to get the job done.

Almost immediately, actually a little bit before he made the announcement,

Ocasio-Cortez and Joaquin Castro announced they would push a bill to block this action,

and we did see a response almost immediately from Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Now Trump himself expects legal pushback, everyone assumed, as soon as he made this declaration,

there would be a lawsuit against him.

And one statement he made during his presentation this morning may cause him some trouble.

He said, I didn't need to do this, and immediately people said if he didn't need to, it's not an emergency.

Now many people have also criticized Trump for being hypocritical,

for in the past criticizing Obama for using national emergencies to get what he wants pushed through as well.

I was able to speak with Will Chamberlain, who's a Trump supporter and a lawyer about his stance on the issue,

so today, let's take a look at the latest news on the border wall, the pushback,

as well as a statement from Will Chamberlain on how he feels about the issue.
