Well you may believe all these marching refugees just happened to join together at this particular time with no external guidance or encouragement. It is not a view I share.

Also is declaring anational emergency on twitter is one thing. Is there not some kind of formal procedure to be adhered to?

Declaration

NEA Section 201 authorizes the president to declare a national emergency. The proclamation of a national emergency must be immediately transmitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register.1,2 Under NEA Section 301, statutory emergency authorities enabled by the national emergency declaration cannot be exercised until the president specifies the provisions of law under which the president or other officials will act. Such specification may be made either in the declaration or in subsequent Executive Orders published in the Federal Register and transmitted to Congress.


Anyone seen such a formal declaration? or is it false news?
