“I don’t think emergencies are a good way to run the government. And the president needs permission from Congress to get money,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday. Despite those words, he hasn’t made a “final decision” on his vote. politico.com/story/2019/02/…

Asked how the GOP can avoid a battle with Trump, one Republican considering voting for the disapproval resolution said: “He can change his mind.”
“The president can get way more money than he’s even asking for without setting the Constitution on its head” politico.com/story/2019/02/…

Sen. Alexander to President Trump
"He's got sufficient funding without a national emergency, he can build a wall and avoid a dangerous precedent ... that would change the voting situation if he we were to agree to do that." politico.com/story/2019/02/…

The $5 billion he is referring to here is the appropriations money + the two other executive actions Trump announced. Alexander and other GOP senators don't like Trump using military construction money, "dangerous precedent" he says

Lamar Alexander just delivered a couched ultimatum to the White House: Reconsider the emergency declaration and take the $5 billion to build the wall or he might (and seems likely to) vote to disapprove. Still at 50 votes
