Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that @realDonaldTrump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.
Show this thread
It is yet another demonstration of @realDonaldTrump’s naked contempt for the rule of law. This is not an emergency, and the President’s fearmongering doesn’t make it one.

@realDonaldTrump couldn’t convince Mexico, the American people or their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall, so now he’s trying an end-run around Congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it.Show this thread -
The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities.

Those 70,000 people have kids and family look how many Americans that are suffering from poverty. But why bring more poor uneducated people? There’s got to be a reason no true American wouldn’t see this as an emergency Nancy.

That is funny Nancy because when you listen to border agents past or present and former patrol chiefs including Obama's, Mark Morgan, they tell you the border is a disaster.

Nancy, enough Fentanyl/opioids coming thru our southern border each year to kill 300 million Americans 3 times. You are well aware of this fact and you also know it IS a crisis. If you want to lead, bring BOTH sides together and fight this.
-
80% of the Fentanyl comes through the legal border. Going to shut that down? What about what comes through the mail from China?
-
I see. So only enough to kill 180 million Americans during the same time frame is coming thru where we want the new wall. Yes, still a crisis. And that is if you believe the 80% figure. Plus - Why would we not do EVERYTHING we can to stop drug and people trafficking?

How can you HONESTLY say there is no emergency?!!! Listen to the people who actually LIVE on the border AND the BP and law enforcement.

Exactly!

That's what I'd call political musketeering DT. A useless WALL. Why not as well WALL AIRPORTS and SEA PORTS many aliens come through these routes to eventually illegally overstay VISA.
-
Israel has a fantastic wall, it keeps 99% of the bad guys out.
-
That wall imprisons the Palestinian populace. In the shortrun it's probably going to work not longer term as WALLS only reduce the physical threat not mental which knowledge/education does for the latter.
