WASHINGTON - Fifty-eight former U.S. national security officials told the Trump administration in a letter on Monday that they are aware of "no emergency that remotely justifies" diverting funds to build a border wall.
The officials, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who served in the Clinton administration, and former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, a Republican who served in the Senate and the Obama administration.
Others include Leon Panetta, former secretary of defense and director of the CIA; Gil Kerlikowske, former head of Customs and Border Protection; John Kerry, former secretary of state; and Nick Rasmussen, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
The letter, according to its authors, is a declaration intended to be used in lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's Feb. 15 decision to redirect $8 billion in federal funds in order to begin construction of a barrier along the southern border. Trump's announcement fulfilled a campaign promise to build a wall to block illegal immigrants after Congress offered less than $2 billion in federal funds after months of negotiations.
The officials fact check Trump's basis for declaring a national emergency, pointing out that illegal border crossings are near 40-year lows, there is no documented terror threat, human and drug trafficking will not be affected by a border wall, and there is no violent crime threat posed by immigrants.

Please apologize for assuming his wife's gender.
Did 50 national security officials sign a letter saying that Baraq 0bama’s deal with Iran was traitorous?
Everyone is political now, so to the ex U.S. national security people who signed the letter...
Y’all can go and reproduce asexually.

Oh, I think you do. I think you care very much.
I have noted over time, that you have a high concern level for what other's believe. A very high level. An overabundance of caring. Almost too much. No, pretty much too much, for sure.
You care.
It is known.
I want to extend an apology to you Okeydoker for assuming the gender identity of both you and your “spouse.” I started off so well by calling you an “it”, which I think is the preferred designation for white supremacist dirtbags.
I see now why you’ve become so angry and vile with me. You should be relieved to know that your posting history will stay with you though, kind of an Okeydoker Hall of Fame. It will be like a “best of” playlist, readily available so that people know exactly what kind of concern troll you are.
My solution is deport all non whites

The country is almost lost demographically now. The 50% left wing division in the country is driven numbers wise almost all by non white voters. A few more years at the current rate and the days of the USA as we have known them are over. Lower birth rates of whites, high minority birth rates, high immigration by non whites and anchor baby citizens all will be death knell. Its happening in every state and many communities.

Filthy Vietnamese dirtbags never should have been brought in to the country.

Throw your hands in the air like you just don't care...
Does that make you sad, Oooks?
Of course it’s not necessary to them, they can afford to live above the turd worlders.

That person of color is married too. I wonder if his husband is a white supremacist.
Akkk
.Upon further reflection, MAYBE Sulu's husband is Okeydoker! You may have just busted this case wide open, HG. Masterful.
