I abhor gridlock. Sounds like you do too.
Not really sure at this point.
Oh yes. Itās awful to see what Congress has become. Presidents are going to continue to take advantage of it too.
Cant really call it an abuse of power when Congress does nothing to stop it.
The big fail is Rs and trump not working something out when they had the chance.
I hope its just for the land owned by the feds at this point.
I think at this point declaring the emergency would hurt the Admin more than help it.
Iām sick of Congress pushing this issue down the road. They are more interested in keeping their phony baloney ājobsā than actually doing their job that itās farcical at this point.

Joanne,
The real question is why wouldnāt a democrat do it anyway. They have become more aggressive and more hell bent on pushing through globalism and socialism at any cost.
Look what they did to Kavenaugh. Do you honestly think that they have any respect for our Constitution or are just waiting for a āWell, Trump did it, so can Iā moment?
Hell no.
The decency and respect is gone. If Trump can seize the day he needs to do it. I guarantee you the Dems will do it without a second thought.
Not me. The more gridlock, the better. There are too many laws on the books as it is.
They arenāt even pretending to do their jobs anymore. Yet they keep right on getting re-elected. Turns out actions DONāT have consequences for some people.

No, you canāt call that a military emergency by any stretch of the imagination.
IT would begin immediately with the declaration actually. Any attempt at a TRO by a lower court would go immediately to the SCOTUS and overturned.
Thereās actual documentation of a border crisis going ton for decades with inaction and with greater and greater costs to the US in dollars, dead, and broken lives.
The recent years change to mass rushes of the border by caravans and huge numbers of unaccompanied minors and families is creating a crisis for which we have no other answer.
WIthout a wall we cantā intderdict any significant portion of them before they set foot on US soil, and once they have we lack the detention facilities to hold them pending hearings so tens of thousands of them are dumped onto US streets.
Those that are are given green cards and welfare benefits for the minors creating a huge burden on the social welfare system from the local to federal levels.
You can equate it to fighting back a tidal wave that is finally breaking over the barriers.
The caravans of five, ten thousand or more are just the strat that has broken the camelās back.
