The Fight Over Trump’s Emergency Declaration Is Symbolic. But It Still Matters

President Donald Trump's border wall began as a symbol of his approach to immigration, so it's only fitting that it may be rejected symbolically on Thursday as well.

At least five Senate Republicans are positioned to join Senate Democrats on a resolution rejecting his declaration of a national emergency along the U.S. southern border, enough to send the measure to the White House but not enough to override Trump's expected veto there.
