No funding for wall = no DACA & no TPS.
What a great place, the Congress.
Mr. President, use your powers as Commander in Chief to build wall/barriers - apparently your only option.
Suppose the president declares a state of emergency and ramps up securing the border. What happens to the budget? Is congress then free to pass a budget with everything and the kitchen sink, including daca and whatever amnesty they choose, minus wall funding? Does the president veto and shutdown is reinstated with no end in sight, even though the wall is no longer an issue? Or does he sign and we wind up with lost ground on those issues?
Can anyone walk me through it? Thanks.
