Democrats are calling President Trump every name in the book and threatening multiple lawsuits to overturn his Friday declaration of a national emergency on our southern border.
The president is using the declaration to enable him to shift funds already in the federal budget to border security. The shifting of money from one set of priorities to the more urgent priority of border security will allow the president to spend over $8.1 billion to build barriers along part of our border with Mexico and fund other border security measures.
But listen to the angry denunciations of the president by outraged Democrats. You’d think he’s throwing out the Constitution, banishing every member of Congress to the wilderness, and proclaiming himself an all-powerful dictator for life – an American version of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
It should go without saying that President Trump is doing no such thing. In truth, the president is using his constitutional authority in the same way other presidents have, in order to find money to deal with an emergency.
And make no mistake, the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border is a real emergency – not a figment of Trump’s imagination.
Think of what the president is doing in terms of your family budget. You have money set aside to buy a new car. Then a member of your family gets seriously ill and requires emergency medical treatment that costs you several thousand dollars not covered by your health insurance. What do you do? You postpone buying the new car and use the money for emergency medical care.
It’s a shame that it has come to this.
The legislation to fund government operations – averting another partial government shutdown – was passed by Congress and signed into law by the president Friday.

That is a long-term goal. As i_robot says, one step at a time.
But the steps MUST be taken relentlessly and continuously by those who understand our goal is nothing less than the restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic.
Trump’s actually got BIG help. God Almighty - the One who got him elected and will see this through to victory once again for America.

Do NOT let it get lost in the fine print.
We should have buses ready for them to make their travel easier!
I could care less how they VIEW them; they are AIDING an INVASION of our soil by other Foreign Nationals!
Throw THEIR asses in jail; too!
Do you know the way to..
Ste Sault Marie??
That's how we got to where we are today.
Ok; you asked:
If this country would pay more attention to Commandments 1&2;
we wouldn't be trying so very hard to hang onto Amendments 1&2!!!
Shout it from the rooftops!!!
Thanks for paying attention.
I believe how we got where we are today was by LOSING one thing at a time.
I could not watch 0.
Yep.
yes
It’s more than the money or the desire
for Dems to swamp the voting pool. A
declaration of a national emergency gives
broad powers to the president. The
following is just one example of how far
he could go. The Dems are aware of the
possibilities, and this is why I believe
they’re fighting back.
“He could determine that any American inside the U.S. who offers material support to the asylum seekers—or, for that matter, to undocumented immigrants inside the United States—poses “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to national security, and authorize the Treasury Department to take action against them.”
I agree. His arguments should be Constitutional, not political. A vast majority of people (including those who are afraid to speak up) know that the nation is not safe and their futures are not secure if we do not control who resides in and who is a citizen of the US.
Never forget....It was Traitor Ryan who didn’t produce a budget that was out of balance, didn’t address the debt, and didn’t include the wall. President Trump said he didn’t think he should’ve signed it, then he did. All Ryan was doing was buying time so he could throw away the Republican majority in the House.
Yup, you nailed it. Ryan is a deep state bastard.
