This resolution is trying to block the national emergency\u2014which pushes for $8 billion dollars in funding for the border wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with political science professor, Dr. Robert Velez, on who has the power to distribute funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]\u201cThe executive [branch] doesn\u2019t have that power. You\u2019re dealing with a co-equal branch, and when one branch doesn\u2019t give you the money you want it\u2019s strictly in the Constitution that the congress has the power of the purse. They\u2019re the ones who appropriate money.\u201d<br><br>-Robert Velez, Political science Lecturer I[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas Democrat and author of the resolution, Joaquin Castro says\nthat 226 lawmakers are supporting the resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means it has enough support to pass the resolution through the House. Velez tells UTRGV Radio News that the definition of \u201cemergency\u201d is in the eye of the beholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTRGV Radio News also spoke with Criminal justice major, Julie Mejia on whether she believes a national emergency was necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]Living by the border for 21 years, i don\u2019t think there has been a change in the amount of danger. How is now considered an emergency compared to the past years?\u201d<br><br>-Julie Mejia, Criminal justice junior[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixteen states filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump\u2019s national emergency last Monday. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra says that Trump\u2019s action violates the Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Velez explains why he thinks the Supreme Court will allow the government to take land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[su_quote]&#8221;So, despite the fact that we have conservative court, they have at least in the past indicated that they are okay with the government taking the land for public use and if the federal government is going to build a wall that sure sounds like public use.\u201d<br><br>-Robert Velez, Political science Lecturer I[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The democratic controlled House expects to see the passing of the resolution sometime this week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump is vowing to veto a resolution introduced by House democrats last Friday.
