Talk is cheap, Mr. President.
You can do it, but it’s going to take more than words.
Declare emergency and build wall.
It will be THE issue for 2020 race and most support protecting our borders.
He can do it all right, 10 Billion additional taxpayer dollars for Mexico n central America and zero for the wall.. math is hard after financing 30 days of paid vacation for how many 100s of thousands of fed emploees? When was the kast time you or your children got 30 paid days?
Absolutely nothing will have changed three weeks from now. Pelosi and Schumer have already claimed victory and verbally stated they have no intention of changing their position, Pelosi then went on to rub Donald's nose in it by denying him the State of the Union on the intended date... fail.
My two cents: President Trump took a licking yesterday and makes me wonder if he is up to the political side of his job. He has shown questionable judgment on his cabinet picks, in particular, AG and Director of the FBI. I voted for Trump mainly for his economic savvy and secondly for his promise of building a wall and draining the swamp. I want to see Obama, Hillary all those others perp-walked to prison. I want to see early morning raids like that imposed on Oliver Stone yesterday for a simple process crime.
Trump has excelled regarding the economy, but he is a babe in the woods regarding the second. He has the authority; he just refuses to use it. He has plenary powers regarding immigration enforcement and has been told so by the SCOTUS and the Congress Research Group. The two-bit judges that filed injunctions against him slowed him down. Judges interpret the law, they do not make it, and Trump has to learn to understand that.
Forget the National Emergencies Act for how and instead use the Immigration and Nationality Act. 8 U.S.C. §1182(f):
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrant, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
Trump has spent the last two years pretending he lacks the legal authority to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. When he used this authority, through executive orders, he instantly collapsed after the first injunction from Leftist judges when he should have told them to go to hell.
Mr. Trump: Shut down the border. Use the above cited authority plus 10 USC 284: Support for counterdrug activities and activities to counter transnational organized crime. This act authorizes the military to erect walls without congressional authority to deter drugs from entering our country. And also, Mr. Trump, don’t ever let Nancy Pelosi get the better of you.
