Haven't read it in a while though.

Specifically answering regarding the parts in bold.  The Oath of Office includes the following.
Quote:...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;...

Read the preamble to The Constitution.  You know... the parts where it talks about providing for the common defense and insuring domestic tranquility.  The congress and more specifically the House of Representatives is supposed to create the budget each year.  A large part of the budget should be about providing for the common defense, ie. border security.

Pelosi along with several other democrats is ignoring her oath of office simply because of her hatred for President Trump.  Nothing more, nothing less.  President Trump is actually the one that is upholding his oath by advocating and demanding funding to secure our southern border.

The House created a budget. It included funding for homeland security. They had it on the President's desk on January 3rd.
