You say that except the NEA has been on the books for 40 years and no Democrat has ever used it as a naked power grab like Trump is doing right now. Rationalize your support for it however you please, but the facts don’t back up your assertion.

To be fair, there hasn’t been insane partisan votes against something solely because “orange man bad” before, either. Republicans are never lock step enough to block something like the Dems just pulled.

Do you have an exact definition of what it was created for? Did Obama not declare at least two emergency declarations regarding the crisis at the border? How is what Trump done so vastly different than those before him?

Honest question. Maybe I'm confused, but I don't see that his declaration is any better/worse than the previous ones. Is it because he's gonna build a better barrier than is what already in place in many areas? Or just cause "Orange man bad!!!!"?
