I agree with them both here. More with Paul because I think this is presidential misuse of power and it makes me uncomfortable, as it should every constitution lover.
But I agree that illegal immigration is a national crisis. However, more illegals flew here on planes, overstaying any number of visas, from Central America and elsewhere. Our crisis is not only about the horribly porous border, which does need to be firmly blocked off. I’m all for the wall. But it won’t be enough unless we limit all visas and most importantly ACTUALLY ENFORCE their limits. Can you kids remember a man called Mohamed Atta? Probably the worst illegal we’ve ever had in the country. He was on an overstayed student visa. Easier to do than crossing that desert. No wall will stop an Atta.
It’s not a misuse of power. Congress appropriated the funds and passed legislation to allow the president to divert the money by declaring a national emergency. The president isn’t spending any money that Congress didn’t permit. They even wrote a process into the law to overturn a president’s emergency declaration. And who has sole discretion to determine what counts as an emergency (per the law)? The president.
What’s interesting here is how all of the previous emergency declarations were pretty much rubber stamped. Congress didn’t see fit to even vote on them when issued and hasn’t reauthorized them every six months in accordance with the law (as I understand it).
When Ann is right, she’s right. Where was Mr. Principled Stand and his Republican cohorts on past emergency declarations. Why take a stand now? This is more about open borders in my opinion than taking a stand for the US Constitution. We pretty much tossed that document into the trash decades ago!

Oh please!!! Not another pristine, “principled constitutionalist”!
The Rats have been unconstrained by the constitution for decades. You’re not going to beat them tying both of your hands around your back. We’re in a dogfight and we have to fight at least as dirty as they fight.
The constitution ain’t going to be restored until they are totally defeated.
And the very same people, Paul, that she’s talking about are the ones pushing for an expanded visa program for their big business donors. You are right in what you say.
The most impactful thing this country could to stem the flow, if not stop it completely is, getting rid of Birthright Citizenship. For that is the lure for everyone.

The Jews in Germany were well principled while they boarded the trains...we don’t have any choices right now or our country is gone.

LMAO! You are seriously nucking futs!! By the time you pull your head out, the US will be a single-party country never to return according to Constitutional principles!
