There is no
#NationalEmergency. Based on the Trump Administration's own data:
Border Apprehensions: Down 75% from 2000 to 2018
Violent & Property Crime: Down across the U.S.
80% to 90% of illegal drugs come through legal checkpointsShow this thread -
Trump appears to seek to redirect funds that help disaster prone areas in CA & military construction that helps military families. Hurting disaster victims & military families to build a medieval wall is not the dumbest idea ever, but it comes pretty closehttps://bit.ly/2GsCPfj

I love it!! I guess if there's a fire, I can wait 3 months to call 9II? Or if I need an ambulance I can schedule it for when it fits my schedule better? The definition of emergency includes urgency. And an actual crisis.

Nothing says "national emergency" like the president taking a vacation to golf with Tiger Woods & Jack Nicklaus. The words "urgent" and "crisis" don't seem to fit here.
