NPR: “It’s unclear what happens next, with President Trump and Democrats living in different universes when it comes to immigration and border security. The president opted not to threaten or declare a national emergency Tuesday night, but could it — with all of its risks – be the only play the left?”
“That would entail him signing legislation to fund the Cabinet departments agencies that are closed and it would give him the chance to tell his base that at least he fought as hard as he could to get Congress to act. Of course, such a declaration would end up being challenged in the courts, and may be why the president chose not to go there Tuesday.”
