[quote][url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/trump-national-emergency-declaration-border-wall-spending-bill.html]President Donald Trump says he signed a national emergency declaration to build his proposed border wall "much faster" than he would otherwise be able to.
The action, which the president has threatened for weeks, has already sparked backlash from both Democrats and Republicans.
Trump will likely face legal challenges and legislative efforts to block the declaration.[/url][/quote]
[quote][url=https://www.npr.org/2019/02/15/695012728/trump-expected-to-declare-national-emergency-to-help-fund-southern-border-wall]Calling it "a great thing to do," President Trump declared a national emergency on Friday in order to help finance a long-promised wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. It's a highly unusual move from an unconventional president.
The move came a day after Congress approved a spending bill giving Trump more than $1.3 billion in border security funding, far short of the $5.7 billion he originally claimed was necessary for a border wall.
In circuitous remarks in the Rose Garden, Trump said he was declaring an emergency because of "an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs."[/url][/quote]
[quote][url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/as-trump-moves-to-declare-national-emergency-to-build-wall-border-crossings-at-record-lows.html]As President Donald Trump declares a national emergency to build a border wall, crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are at their lowest levels in nearly 50 years.
There were 303,916 apprehensions along the southern border during the 2017 fiscal year, the lowest level since 1971.
The reality of immigration levels at the southern border calls into question Trump's justification for declaring a national emergency.[/url][/quote]

I could do the wall over a longer period of time," President Trump said in an announcement Friday for his national emergency that freed up funds for the border wall. "I didn't need to do this."[/url][/quote]

1 RespuestaGOP had control of Congress for two years, and could have easily passed funding measure at any time. Now, suddenly, this is an "emergency" and it's all the fault of the left. If this is such an emergency why didn't they do this on day one? They wait for 2 years and all of a sudden, the minute they lose the House, this is an emergency. Additionally, I'm sure there will be legal challenges considering that officials from the President's own administration, including Sarah Huckabee, have acknowledged that most drugs/criminals come into country by way of ports and airports, not the southern border. The President himself, in his press conference yesterday, admitted this wasn't an emergency. The other hurdle that will have to be overcome in court is the fact that the actual crimes statistics, as compiled by the Justice Dept., do not support the claims that crime on the U.S. side of the border is out of control. Many of the counties along the border have lower crime rates than D.C. and Palm Beach county, where Pres. spends most of his time. Also, majority of Sheriff's along border and other law enforcement officials have constantly said physical wall won't work. They think more funding needed for tech resources and manpower. All of these facts may not matter to supporters, but they will matter to a judge, whose decisions are based on facts and evidence.

1 RespuestaIt’s never going to happen. It’s going to be thrown around the courts for decades, thrown around congress for decades, then there are the lawsuits he has to deal with, states rights and authority, you silly little incel MAGA school shooters really think he can just speaketh and make things happen? Lol that’s why he’s been having a tantrum since the day he took the office, the reality of how government works sets in and he hasn’t done absolutely anything he has set out to do other than look like a fumbling fool when talking. But it’s ok, he doesn’t have to get anything done he can just distract his voter base by throwing hot keywords around like “fake news” and it should be easy enough to not make them realize he’s useless and impotent because they’d rather just be loud.

When you capitulate on every moderate, populist promise that got you elected because that's the only way Paul and Mitch will let you have a wall, but it's been 2 years and Paul got his tax cut and Mitch got his judges and you got 17 infrastructure weeks and 0 walls, so you just decide to end it all by hitting the nuke button but it turns out to be the national emergency button instead

3 RespuestasEven if there is a wall across the entirety of the border, they will tunnel under it and find boats that will take them around it. All they'll need to do is go a few miles offshore and land on secluded beaches at night. I'm sure this has already been done. All it's going to do is slow some of them down a little. Until we enforce laws that make people who harbor and employ illegal and undocumented immigrants, this will never change.

8 Respuestaswhen its finished, i want to go up to it and take really deep, serious pictures. I want to sit in the shadow of that great wall, smell the concrete and rebar used in its construction, look lovingly at the razor wire adorning its heights. And when its time to leave, i want to find a way to leave a permanent mark. Just one word, a memento, to honor the hard work of patriots and pepes everywhere that helped make this monument one of the most endearing images for generations to come. "Rekt"
