Washington (CNN)The White House is preparing a draft proclamation for President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency along the southern border and has identified more than $7 billion in potential funds for his signature border wall should he go that route, according to internal documents reviewed by CNN. Trump has not ruled out using his authority to declare a national emergency and direct the Defense Department to construct a border wall as Congress and the White House fight over a deal to end the government shutdown.

How to steal the nation.

Allow illegals to be counted in the Census.
Open the borders.
Offer Sanctuary and benefits to illegals.
Increase your representation in Congress and that adds Electoral votes.

Yes, one party is colluding with foreign nations to impact our elections.

Couldn’t see that one coming.

Trump tried and gave them multiple opportunities. The dems rejected them all.

I figured he was giving them a chance to work and reasons to justify declaring a national emergency. Now he can truthfully state he tried and they would not cooperate so he was left no other option.

I live this man.

I support this 100 percent (if true) but I would raise it from 7 billion to 20 billion.....If you are going to go, go big

If the military provides the labor, $7B will build 900 miles of Wall, and $20B will build the entire Wall. I am cheering for this option! We need to end this debate.

The next caravan, said to number 100,000 will indeed cause a national emergency.And it will not be pretty.

The Democrat Party /Mexican Cartel organized caravans will play right in to The Presidents Plans. Brennan and the Obama shadow CIA is likely at the Center of this caravan operation.
We do know that Soros and other Dem operators are forking over “humanitarian” ( read “invasion”) money for caravans.

If Obama can EO DACA on his way out the door and the Ninth Circus treats it as sacrosanct law Trump might as well EO his way to the wall and border security.

I don't think it was an EO

Obama just issued a memmo to the department to do it.

Build the effin wall from coast to coast. IF he would have declared the national emergency when he SAID it was then people might accept it.

He has waited to long and all of the punch has left his arm.

The Fraud’s pwned Hawaiian judge has had that script prepared for a long time.

We all (except Rats) must answer to the Rats’ sovereign Judiciary Branch of government, selah.

I’ll be satisified with a partial coast to coast. Say a wall to the end of the Nevada border going all the way to Canada and then along the Southern border.

National Emergency declaration should include the ban on Sanctuary Cities and arrest of any officials who do not comply.

Agreed. I am the son of legal immigrants and a dual citizen of the US and the old country. The current situation is an insult to those that have emigrated legally and those that are now playing by the rules. The is America. All are created equal. No one cuts in line.

IIRC ......OIbama pulled of a huge payout in secret by executive order to Iran ....illegally and he skated .

Why can't Trump just do similar with border security ?

"The Obama administration is acknowledging its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency, as Republican critics of the transaction continued to denounce the payments.

I have an idea. Whenever Trump makes an announcement that he is authorizing money to build the war, he should remind the public that Obama approved $1.7 billion (in 3 secret flights) in foreign currency be transferred to Iran. Obama didn’t tell Congress ahead of time that he was doing the money transfer. I don’t believe he reported this to the IRS either. The Bank Secrecy Act requires that any person who receives more than $10,000 in a single cash transaction (or series of transactions) must report the exchange to the IRS.

“..Also, if this source is accurate it looks as though it was supplied by a leaker in the WH, and includes information as to in what ways such a move might still be delayed by other factors (court blocking, land acquisition problems etc)..”

This could be a way to find a leaker. Not to give leftist a clue but a lot of illegal leaking could be focused back to leaker by seeing which info was leaked where.

I have a feeling lots of necks have been stuck out and discovered and just await the right time to be prosecuted.
