Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 9, 2019
Tweet - "Met with Acting Sec. Defense Shanahan today. I cautioned him that if President Trump chooses to declare a national emergency & attempt to use DoD funds to pay for his beloved wall, that it would be a major breach of relations between DoD & Senate oversight committees."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 9, 2019
Tweet - "If the President would stop preaching about his almighty wall and take a look at real border security, he would be doing what's necessary to stop drugs from coming into this country thru legal ports of entry. I'm for border security, but we need to make it smart."
