Trump to sign national security funding bill, then declare State of Emergency

[Obsessed]

A wall isn't going to give me peace of mind.

Might not. But you nor I live there (on the border) and deal with what those folks do.

 

[McDad]

I think you are discounting the costs of the illegal immigrants. We spend more on them (as taxpayers) now than the wall will cost.
Not to mention some bat **** crazy terrorists sneaking in and planning and executing a attack

I'm certain there is an obscene amount of money both private and public spent on people in America illegally. The wall will neither fix people gaining entrance illegally nor the money spent on those folks once they are here.

 

[utvolpj]

Who is he, and why should I care?

Someone who doesn't care about the Constitution. It's an epidemic

 

[carlos86]

Trump does know that comments he makes can be used against him is court right???

 

[Septic]

 

[carlos86]

President Trump -"I *didn’t need* to do this, but I’d rather do it much faster."

God I would hate to be the Solicitor General or White House Counsel when this heads to Court.

 

[McDad]

Poor Dan. Struggling to stay relevant.

 

[carlos86]

He is backed into a corner and has no idea how to get out of it.

 

[Septic]

Yeah, Lotta those folks say it isn't necessary either.

 

[1972 Grad]

He is also old enough to retire, and shut up.

 

[AshG]

The wall is America's Guarantee... Right on the box!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

You bring enough third world people here, and soon you will be third world.

That's what Democrats want & will get before we all die in 12 more years.

 

[utvolpj]

Only One House Republican Represents the Borderland, and He Opposes a Wall

 

[carlos86]

3 words..... Opioid deaths epidemic. That'll figure in.

Last year he refused to declare a national emergency over the opioid crisis. He can't play that card now.

 

[carlos86]

bad move if Trump does this.

Here's a list of the 31 national emergencies that have been in effect for years

amazed at how many of these there are. there are 31 active. the vast majority sound like non-emergencies to me

 

[1972 Grad]

Only One House Republican Represents the Borderland, and He Opposes a Wall

He probably wants to hold on to that single seat. Sounds like a man who knows which side his bread is buttered on.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

He's just trying to score some political points....Dan is just wanting a pat on the back from his loony pals.

Who is your go-to commentator, if I might ask?

Build the wall and curb immigration drastically. Specifically do away with asylum and taking in refugees.

Yeah, we are obliged to do that, actually. So, pull out of the UN?

Trump's answer, is to not do it efficiently, which further creates the appearance of mobs at the border.

 

[InVOLuntary]

So, Obama and Pelosi have been consistent with adding more barriers. That seems undeniable, but what the hell was was Ryan and McConnell doing over the last several years?

Trump says "I want it all, and I want it now.". He can't have it that way, so he throws a national emergency tantrum.

It's hilarious

The Dems would have filabustered any attempt at a wall the last two years.

The problem with the lefts stance on the wall is that in reality, they want open borders, they just cant/won't say it. There is absolutely no way to prevent illegal immgration without some sort of barrier. You're either for the wall or you're for open borders. There is no middle ground, despite what the left says.

He might be a dolt, but he’s my dolt. Watch yourself you goofy dairy farmer.

He's everyone's. McDad is easy....

Did a vote ever come to the floor? Looks like Nancy is coming through, though. More good to come.

The wall does not need to be part of the equation.
