From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:
In a statement on social media on Friday, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Green Bay) questioned both the national emergency declaration by the president and the budget compromise which passed with little deliberation.
“Why do we have a Congress?” Gallagher asked on Facebook and Twitter. “Presumably we have a Congress to deliberate, debate, and legislate. When it comes to border security, Congress has done none of these things.”
Gallagher continued with a criticism of the budget compromise.
“The appropriators released a 1100+ page omnibus bill after midnight today,” Gallagher wrote. “We suspended (i.e. violated) the rules to vote on it less than 24 hours later with no real deliberation or debate.
