President Trump reaffirmed Sunday that he would consider declaring a national emergency because of the “crisis” at the border — though such a move would seem certain to draw legal challenges. He said Sunday afternoon that a strong border outweighs other challenges of the partial government shutdown regarding border-wall funding, now dragging into a third week. “Government workers want our borders taken care of,” he said to reporters at the Rose Garden outside The White House. The president previously had promised a concrete wall, but now has said it could be made of steel slats. His administration already has spent millions constructing wall prototypes near the border in San Diego.
