The key Republicans of Congress, meanwhile, do not need any help from Democrats. They are already tearing themselves apart as a result of Trump's statement.

"We encourage the President to use other means to travel with unused money to take advantage of the border security investment that Congress is making with this funding bill."

The bipartisan crackdown came a few hours after Trump, speaking at the White House Rose Garden, declared a national emergency on the US-Mexico border. The president argued that waves of migrants from Central America from the center posed a direct threat to national security, leaving him no choice but to bypass Congress and allocate $ 8 billion. to other projects to build the wall he promised during his 2016 campaign.

"It's a good thing to do because we have a drug invasion, a gang invasion, an invasion of people," Trump said.

A day earlier, Congress passed a very ambitious federal spending bill, providing funding to about a quarter of the government – including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – and warning of a new partial halt.

Trump agreed to sign the package, but reluctantly because the Democrats had successfully blocked the $ 5.7 billion in border funds he had requested.

The passage through the house would create a huge headache for McConnell. Although the Kentucky Republican has said he supports Trump's statement, the National Emergency Act requires that such a resolution be considered privileged, guaranteeing a vote in the Senate and highlighting the GOP divisions with Trump.
