I think if they block this, and by doing so, he keeps the gov’t shut down, then they lose big. If he is unopposed, starts allocating funds for the wall, re-opens the gov’t, then everyone wins.

Do do you think that President Trump will declare an emergency, order the military to begin building the metal slat wall-like thing, and sign a continuing resolution that does not contain wall funding?

Or do you think he'll keep the government partial shut-down going until the court litigation has been completed? (Which would be several months, if not years.)

I think I’d tell him, I’m declaring this an emergency, and I’m ordering funds allocated for the wall, and our military to start building it.

I don’t think he’ll go into detail about the “what ifs” he can simply say that he would still like to see funding for the wall thru Congress. He wants a bill from congress that addresses the immigration issues, and he’ll sign it.

I don’t see why he should keep the gov’t shut down, if he’s going forward with the national emergency, do you?
