Since the National Emergencies Act became law in 1976, U.S. presidents have declared more than 50 emergencies. More than 30 are ongoing. In the past, presidents of both parties have used their emergency powers to reallocate federal funds, reassign government employees, and build infrastructure to protect Americans from terrorist attacks, weapons of mass destruction, and drug cartels.

Congress is too busy telling lies and trying to regain Power.
I’d love to see all of those in congress that I chosen to ignore this emergency arrested. Take their personal wealth and use it to help build the wall.
I know, it’s only a wild and crazy dream, but it would be wonderful if it became reality.
that I chosen=that have chosen
Dems in Congress are far too busy discrediting Mueller’s 2 year extensive effort. Maybe while they’re at it, they can look into the existence of the Tooth Fairy, Santa, or perhaps Sasquatch?
These Dems can’t be bothered with doing anything meaningful to help their constituents or our country. Regaining power, that’s all that mattters...
Congress is too busy telling lies and trying to regain Power.
And the border violence doesn’t affect them, just the little people in fly over country.
If Washington was on the Rio Grande, you bet there would be action on this.
The last few years should be enough to convince anyone that the political class has had enough of the American experiment and is moving to take back their perceived right to rule from the American people. It explains Congressional support for open borders with drugs to destroy the middle class and foreigners who are amenable to having rulers over them. The Democrats are fully onboard and a large segment of the Republicans are as well.
In 1986 Pres. Reagan gave about 3 million illegal aliens amnesty and Congress promised to close the Southern Border. Congress, both parties, have failed to keep that promise since then putting cheap labor and illegal alien votes ahead of the American peoples’ safety.
The majority in Congress is complicit in treason.
And Reagan never should have granted those 3 million crimigrants amnesty. 3 million has turned into 30 million.
His problem was that he trusted Congress to fulfill their promise and found out too late they only care about maintaining their power.
Udall, Heinrich Push Back Against Trump Administration Plan to Construct New Border Wall South of Deming, New Mexico
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich released the following statement in response to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan holding a press conference at the border in El Paso, TX:
“The Trump administration’s decision to visit the border today is part of its campaign to deceive the American people that there is a national security crisis at the El Paso and New Mexico border. To be clear, the only crisis is a humanitarian one of the administration’s own creation – caused by its reckless policy of not allowing asylum-seekers to present themselves at official border crossings and cruelly separating parents from their children. Now, the Trump administration is proposing the construction of 46 miles of Trump’s border wall south of Deming, New Mexico, one of the quietest spots on the US-Mexico border where the majority of those arriving are seeking asylum. This is a wasteful, ineffective, offensive wall and money should not be raided – at the expense of our military readiness and the needs of military families – to fund it.
