Hopefully taking money from that socialist endeavor called the military will be a good thing for democracy. Not sure there is a good reason to use it for building a wall on the border when we have thousands in our community who need walls around them rather than tents in the woods.

Rep Smith - the only thing manufactured is Democrat outrage at President attending to a problem long ignored by both Parties.

Thank you Adam Smith.

If Republican trolls are harassing you then you are on the right path.

So, the last four Presidents who said we had a crisis at the border, along with the congressional leaders who said the same thing were lying????

Thank you for your leadership Rep. Adam Smith. This is a dangerous overreach of power, clearly intending to subvert the will of Congress and violate the US Constitution. None of us, regardless of party, should want to see the emergency powers act abused in this way. As a military spouse, and a disaster aid worker, raiding those two budgets to pay for a project that Congress has clearly rejected raises serious alarm bells.

This is a made up crisis. If it were a real crisis why did Trump fly off to Mar A Lago the same day to play golf. Children being killed in schools and people being killed in malls, concerts, workplaces by their fellow Americans is a national crisis.

I agree. It's not an emergency, and we don't want to see a continuation of the expansion of Executive power and action because of the long term failure in the legislative branch. That said, the hyperbole is unbecoming. The difference between the remaining funds needed relative to the total military budget is .025%. And you have talked for years about reducing military expenditures. Stop it, and get to work. We have plenty of partisan hacks in the chorus.

I wish I had a Representative that truly represented the American People. Tired of your socialist behavior.

Thank you Representative Smith. You know there are critical capital projects that will be impacted by this action.

I really hope we're not giving a billion dollars to border patrol to lock more kids in cages... And I really hope Adam Smith isn't voting for any budget deal that contains more money for the border...

Maybe you should look at the poll numbers Adam... 65% of AMERICANS believe it is a crisis. YOU ARE WRONG!!!! www.facebook.com/msn/posts/10156184194521409?hc_location=ufi

It's ok if Oblahblah does it....

Gary Pina stop pointing out the obvious.....Adam doesn't care!!!

I’m still waiting for Rep. Smith to oppose all US arms sales to lying, murderous, corrupt Saudi dictatorship.

"the U.S. should not be choosing sides in the war in Yemen" then later.... "we must support the Yemeni people in alleviating this crisis." Um, isn't that choosing sides?

Dan, you are a putz.........what have you contributed to end the crisis.......

Sadly tRump cares more about his vanity wall than anything else except Mueller and the GOP are enabling him. Keep pushing Adam!
