The issue though is that there is now not enough time left on the clock. Trump is now at real risk making the same mistake as Obama. He’s going to completely rely on executive actions to get things done. And the next president will just reverse everything. Emergency declarations need to be renewed every year. And we are probably going to blow this year due to months of litigation in the courts.
We are never going to get the wall built in one year. A wall would take a decade to build. If it isn’t being funded by Congress, it will never get completed.
welcome to free republic
The Army constructed a road from Washington State to Alaska in no time.
I am betting you lack a working knowledge of construction processes and rely on the misguided thinking of others for your position.
Or, in the alternative, that you have an agenda that overrides rational thought.
Good points.
But, I believe since the constitution put naturalization at the foot of the federal government and immigration at the foot of the states, he could go at it in another angle.
Further, I also believe that he direct those agencies to call for volunteers to build that thing and it could be built in a matter of months.
I know I would go, and know of many who would also.
So whats the courts to do? Send the military or some law enforcement agency down to arrest several thousand volunteers to prevent them from building a wall directed by the POTUS?
Let the courts rule-then, let them enforce it. They cant.
But a big chunk of it will be built in the next 5 years. I’m voting Trump for re-election. So far laughable at the Dems indicating they are going to run against him.
“...the next president will just reverse everything.”
What? Tear down the wall?
“...we are probably going to blow this year due to months of litigation in the courts.”
An “EMERGENCY” declaration by the President of the United States will NOT take MONTHS of litigation. It will quickly go to SCOTUS and they will HAVE TO take it. No lower court would be allowed to decide this.
“...We are never going to get the wall built in one year...”
Says who? You mean the 2 THOUSAND mile wall that Trump NEVER talked about? Hundreds of miles of wall could be built, where most needed. AND... Trump will have FOUR MORE YEARS to build hundreds more miles of wall.
“...A wall would take a decade to build...”
Even your “imaginary” 2000 mile wall wouldn’t take that long.
“...If it isn’t being funded by Congress, it will never get completed.”
WRONG AGAIN! Trump will complete whatever portion of wall he intends to complete.
Now that I have DESTROYED your statement... have a nice day.
Waiting for Congress to deal with this problem is like waiting for the Titanic to arrive in New York City. It's not going to happen.
