From what I understand about this bill, the 1.3 billion for the border wall, ANY border mayor can opt out of it..so it takes a few liberal mayors to say “Well thanks but no thanks”

Why bother with a national emergency for a ‘wall’ when the bill makes most of the wall illegal?

Good thing he's declaring a National Emergency and setting that nonsense aside then I guess.

what if at last minute he signs the Emergency order then does not sign the CR-

This will be televised I imagine so he can explain to American people his reasons for veto of the bill

I can dream!

And do you suppose any of those border mayors will be vulnerable to bribes from bad actors from Mexico or evil liberals north of the border?

A nice pile of cash might be pretty attractive, to allowing your border town to be the new point of entry for some cartels or smugglers.

Any mayor?

Since when do effing “mayors” get to dictate border security policies? The national border is totally under federal jurisdiction. Any mayor arrogantly stupid enough to make an attempt at obstructing of national security will not be mayor much longer - one way or the other. BTW, Sheriffs are the highest elected county official, meaning their say trumps that of some pipsqueak, leftist used-asswipe of a mayor.

It's a toothless provision. Eminient Domain and the constitutional Supremacy Clause will be invoked. Mayors don't have jurisdiction over United States borders.

The Bill’s $1.3 Billion can be spent elsewhere. The Wall built using the National Emergency Funding is not under any restriction from some Idiotic Mayors.

Looks like Rush called it 100% while Ann Coulter’s Hormonal outrage missed the mark.

That may be for the allocated part only. I really don’t know, but I trust President Trump to get the job done. We haven’t had anyone like him on our side, in my lifetime.
