Trump to declare emergency over wall

The question was answered yet you have yt to answer the questions.
And the massive increase in arrests crossing the border isn’t a national emergency when we do not have facilities to house them? They end up with court dates years in the future and disappear into this country never intending to make a court appearance isn’t a national emergency? Illegals killing American citizens isn’t a national emergency?

How many Americans would be alive today that were murdered by illegals is they had not been allowed to invade this country?

Why is it you discount the lives of American citizens in favor of illegals who bring nothing but debt to this nation???

Answer the questions or shut up.

Agreed! I love the fact that he called a spade a spade and basically spoke the Truth about the RINOS, and Democrats putting their political ambitions ahead of American Citizens interests. It was beautiful to watch and was well succinctly stated!

If you believe everyone has a right to cross our border and there is no differentiation between an illegal and an American citizen then they would be opposed to a wall.

Or, if the hatred of Trump overrules the common sense of securing our border, citizens and treasure then you have those opposed to the wall out of spite.

When the two groups unite out of a common cause, along with the media on their side they gather more lemmings and momentum. Social democrats then have the support they need to play hardball even though they were for it before they were against it.

I view this entire charade as the game of destroying trump.

The left has nothing to lose so they are willing to totally trash the country as long as they bring down trump.

The socialist dems are hell bent on taking this country in the direction they want it to go. That Americans, by electing Trump be damned, should be a wake up call.

I’m driving and can’t source for you - just read the excerpts from the bill. This is the provision, although this may not be verbatim:

Immigrants with “sponsors” can not be deported - will be signed into law.

You are simply making stuff up. That isn’t at all what Trump will be doing.

Is it also for the “general welfare” if a Dem President declares a national emergency for climate change or gun violence?

I guess you all will be A-ok when a Dem President does a national emergency for climate change or gun violence.

They could do that with or without Trump’s actions.

This isn’t a DEM only bill… using your logic… DEMS and REPUBLICANS hate Trump.

Dems and Republicans got together and created a bipartisan bill to increase border security. Trump is throwing a temper tantrum because “nobody knows walls better than me”. So he feels he has more knowledge about the needs of CBP than Congress does.

Then where will he get funding for this national emergency? He can’t create money out of thin air.

Republicans caved in order to avoid another shutdown. There was nothing bipartisan about the garbage legislation. They also knew that Trump would use executive power to get his wall, so there was no need to fight this battle.

You implied that Trump would simply redirect funds willy nilly. That simply isn’t the case. The funds were allocated loosely for border and drug enforcement in various agencies. Trump is simply defining how those funds will be used in support of the original congressional appropriation.

I don’t care why they did it… but they did. With all of the infighting in congress, we should celebrate when they come to a bipartisan agreement.

Not only that but THEY INCREASED BORDER SECURITY. Why are people not happy with that? Almost sounds like cons cared more about a wall than comprehensive border security.

They did not increase border security with this garbage legislation. You are once again reciting LW talking points.

The executive branch has the power to “redefine” where funds go, or what they are used for, after being specifically appropriated by Congress?

Where does the constitution allow that?

Once again you are making stuff up. The funds in question are border funds and Drug enforcement funds. Those funds were appropriated to be used for those purposes. It is up to the executive branch to decide how they will be specifically used, within that appropriation. In the past, this would have been done with no fanfare. But this is Trump, and he can’t be allowed to do anything because he isn’t a legitimate President.

You have much patience with our friend from another BNN board.
