Carter Votes Against Resolution to Block President Trump's Emergency Declaration
Washington,
February 26, 2019
Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-Ga.) released the following statement after voting against a resolution to block President Donald Trump's emergency declaration to secure the southwest border:
"I truly cannot believe my colleagues on the other side of the aisle continue to put party politics ahead of our national security. They will do anything they can to go against our president even if it means sacrificing the safety of Americans. "President Trump should never have been forced to declare a national emergency in the first place. We should have done our job in Congress to address the situation, but the continuous obstruction from Democrats left him no choice. "It's time to end the nonsense and address the dangerous crisis at our border. This is a national emergency and I will continue to support President Trump's action to protect Americans and our homeland." |
