No it was paid for by application fees.
Then it should be easy to provide oneâŚ
True emergencies should have bipartisan support⌠like hurricane damage . If it doesnât have bipartisan support, is it truly an emergency?
And from what I hear those foriegn students pay cash for tuition.
This actually hurts incountry, and especially in-state students.
You finally got something right, you are laying waste around here.

just watch how Lindsey Graham and McConnell are supporting Trumpâs âemergencyâ
There is a remote possibility they actually recognize the emergency with over 1400 illegals crossing the border every day of the week, month after month.
Ever look at the impact of illegal, asylum seekers on the communities?
Th cost to schools which include your schools.
The cost of healthcare and the impact to hospitals?
The impact on wags as more unskilled labor stagnates wages.
Do you think beyond race at all?
Do you think companies ignore the visa status of their employees? I can assure you that they do not. I am, of course, not referring to people who knowingly hire undocumented, low-wage employees.
Weâve been doing that for over a hundred year. Until we actually secure the border itâs an exercise in futility.
Itâs like bailing out a row boat with a hole in it the diameter of a 35 gallon drum.
Till you patch the hole you arenât gaining a thing.
The only thing youâre laying are smelly eggs in your pants and you do it repeatedly.
If a civil war in Sierra Leon that doesnât threaten the lives of a single American is a âNational Emergencyâ for the US, the growing crisis at the border sure as hell is.
A national emergency that Mexico was supposed to pay for lol. How many other national emergencies did we think we would have another country pay for?
I think he flat got sideswiped by the congress having fully expected them to get a satisfactory bill through before the new congress was seated.
He never should have taken his foot off the gas in 2017 and done whatever he could to force it though.
The problem though was always the senate. Without five to ten democrats being wiling to crossover and vote for it there was no way to get it past a cloture vote.
The democrats have always had far better discipline and holding their caucus together on big issues than the republicans.
If you thought Mexico was going to write a check for it you were deluding yourself.
The nice thing about it is that Mexico can pay for it now that Guzman has been convicted in the US and we can therefore go after all of his drug related assets.

Thatâs why they are ranting like lunatics. Theyâve realized now that he can actually do it irrespective of what congress does.
And instead of trying to get 5 or so Dems in the senate to agree to funding this âemergencyâ Trump waited until after he lost the house to shutdown the government over it. Then he declared an emergency 3 months AFTER losing the house and after shutting down the government.
Governing is hard
Well thtâs complete BS. The only people of color who will be harmed are the illegals, mules, and traffickers who will have a much more difficult time getting to the US along with those being deported who will suddenly find itâs not as easy to get back in after being deported as it used to be.
Legal minorities âof colorâ are doing better under this administration than theyâve ever done with rising wages and the loses UE numbers for blacks and Hispanics since such records have been kept.
Trump said, on his official website, that Mexico would write a 10 billion dollar check.
So Trump declares an emergency after Mexico refused to pay and congress agreed to a bipartisan bill. This emergency sure did depend on a lot of entities that didnât feel like it was that big of a national threat.
No less than six border bills were voted on before the new congress was seated.
The democrats refused to consider it and were happy to precipitate the longest partial shutdown of govât in the history of the nation over it.
Remember Chuck and Nancyâs position? âNot one dollar for the wallâ.
I donât give a damn what he said on his website, it was never going to happen and anyone that believe they would was deluding themselves.
Not quite buddy⌠he still needs to win at the courts, where he will have to prove the following:
-
That this is a national emergency (you know, we data)
-
That the funds they are trying to reappropriate are within the power of the executive branch
How many of those bills passed the house?
Democrats didnât control the house. Trump only had to convince 5 or so senate Dems to pass the legislation in the senate. Much easier than trying to convince 40 Dems in the Dem controlled house.
So he lied then⌠interesting
