On Immigration: Emergencies Act too broad; except Trump's border policies

Sasse is fond of talking about the importance of Congress as a check on runaway executive power but declined to play his part in stopping such a power grab. "We have an obvious crisis at the border," he said, defending Trump's authority to use the National Emergencies Act to address it. "I think that law is overly broad and I want to fix it, but Nancy Pelosi doesn't," Sasse said. "As a constitutional conservative, I believe that the NEA currently on the books should be narrowed considerably." Source: Reason Magazine on 2020 Nebraska Senate race Mar 14, 2019
