Trump veto: President blocks Senate measure stopping border wall in bid to halt 'invasion' of migrant familiesDonald Trump has used his first veto as president to block a bill that would have prevented him building a border wall – claiming the country was facing an “invasion” of migrants. In language designed to resonate with his supporters, the president claimed the bill passed by the House and Senate that would have overturned his declaration of a national emergency at the border, was “reckless”. Yesterday, Congress passed a dangerous resolution that if signed into law would put countless Americans in danger, very grave danger,” he said, seated behind his desk in the Oval Office.
