Remember that document? Maybe some of you need to re-read it. Book on tape perhaps?

That is hands down exactly what the constitution lays out as to who has authority to do what. It's not a war nor a treaty, congress can go pound sand. And he can pull funding from where ever he has access to funds.

Not only that..... makes the leftists and never Trumper's run around shrieking with their skirts over their heads. That's always a good thing.....

Simple question to which the answer is known beforehand to the affirmative.

Trump will prevail on these grounds when SC takes it up and they will.

Trump: UNPRECEDENTED

Easy to declare a national emergency when the Democrat Party decides that there should be no border and protect any and all who cross into this country illegally...criminals by definition.

I never thought they had a chance in 2020. "Tax the rich, feed the poor till there are no rich no more." Now you can tax the poor and find the funds for a wonderful, free socialists America. Let's see those figures, giving with one hand and begging with the other.

The latest numbers from border patrol had illegal border arrests near all time HIGHS at over 60,000 a month! (most recent stats Oct, Nov, Dec - 2018).

And that is only the ones we catch! How many more get through? This is on track for 1 million illegal invaders a year. Certainly a national emergency!

What I want to know is how many of those 60,000 a month are deported? And since they are not talking about it, I think the answer would make you sick....

The Trump administration did. These are the lowest apprehensions we’ve seen in 40+ years.

Anyone with room temperature or higher IQ knows this is a manufactured emergency for political capital. The same game played out in 2013, except the roles were reversed.

People have either short, or selective, memories around here.

I said the current/latest data... see Oct, Nov 2018 just out from CBP. A modern era graph, for all months. Not just your favorite March's from a decade ago. Illegal immigration is now the worst its been in the last 5 years, worse than 58 of the last 60 months. After your selective liberal walk down memory lane, the good old days when you were trying to overthrow the country unopposed.

Illegal border jumpers are now on a dramatic increase. Over 60,000 a month now in recent (read: latest/current) data. With tens of thousands more marching this way.

A physical barrier of the right design and in the right places and guess what..... the number of "apprehended" that the leftist tout will go down to REAL numbers, record numbers. You guys march out those numbers, talking them up as good numbers...... right up until it can be shown those numbers would plummet even more..... then it becomes a bad thing..... mostly because you KNOW it will be effective.

It's NOT about catching them AFTER they have committed the crime and crossed. It's about doing what you can to prevent the crossing in the first place. But again.... the leftists know this.....

Me. That was the entire point of the post, BS. When I said historic lows, I wasn’t talking about two years of data. The point was that no one was calling this a national emergency when border apprehensions were three to four times what they are now in 2000. Even these “elevated” levels of apprehensions are lower than basically 42 of the last 45 years.

Why is easy. Because of leftist hate for anything Trump. This gives Trump ANOTHER promise he made to cross off a quite long list. More Trump winning for America. And that grates at liberal leftists, to their core. Not to mention totally blows up their plans for open borders. More welfare or "social programs" and consequently more illegal voters who they want to allow to vote, one way or another.

And makes liberal skirts go up over heads..... again, that never gets old.....

"A new map posted by HowMuch.net breaks down the economic toll of illegal immigrants state by state, and their findings are extremely troubling.

Using information gathered from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, How Much’s map shows how much money illegal immigrants cost American taxpayers on a state-by-state basis."

If you don't enforce your numbers will be lower.

I researched this a bit and apparently the total cost of the federal and state exchange sites was indeed more than $5 billion.

From link:

"...It’s cheap. And abundant. That is why we are seeing a dramatic escalation of crystal methamphetamine use because it is being shipped to our county at the border. People aren’t making it anymore, because it comes here so cheap from Mexico.”

Cleveland says meth labs started popping up in Ashtabula in 2002, but due to a crackdown “in the last 18 months, we’ve seen almost a wholesale elimination” of them. “That void . . . is being filled by Mexican cartels bringing meth across the borders,” he adds.

The DEA has pinpointed Akron, Ohio, as one of the major drop-off points for meth coming from Mexico and being distributed throughout the Midwest and Northeast..."

democrat hysteria over Trump’s national emergency suggests they are being bribed by cartels

And on that note..... now's the time to start your Senate purge list and note those who voted against. Make sure it's hammered home they abandoned border security and the rights of the President to control security matters in favor of a Trump middle finger. Bludgeoned.

Senators Mitt Romney, Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Rand Paul, Roy Blunt, Roger Wicker, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, Jerry Moran, and Mike Lee.

I think you mean the urban areas. They are not purple, they are far beyond that.

Moran has never been as much conservative as republican.

That dang Paul and Lee standing up for the Constitution, my God the nerve of them...

Bet your glad Trump has 0bamas pen and cell phone.

I think Trump maintains the upper hand here as chief executive. While congress set limits for total expendatures for the various branches of government, I believe Trump will prevail with Presidential discretion as to how those funds might be shifted to deal with national emergencies, national defense, and border security. The ultimate role of the federal government.

I still say that there is a lot of money lining the pockets of those that want to keep the border open, and the wall will make it that much more difficult to keep the money rolling in. This has nothing to do with workers or asylum, it has to be personal to all of those opposing the wall, it has to be all about money or other gratuity of some sort.

Democrats Are Reportedly Being Paid Off By Mexican Drug Cartels To Keep The Borders Wide Open

Prominent Democrats, such as Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Kyrsten Sinema and Hillary Clinton, as well as the DNC itself, are reportedly being paid by drug cartel kingpins to fight against border wall legislation.

The reason: So illegal drugs and human trafficking can continue to flow through America’s southern border.

Last month, The Gateway Pundit wrote an article about how former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto accepted a $100 million bribe from Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán of the Sinaloa Cartel:

Alex Cifuentes, a witness who says he was a close associate of Guzmán for years, told a New York City courtroom that he had told authorities of the bribe in 2016.

Guzmán is accused of being behind the Sinaloa drug cartel, which prosecutors say was the largest US drug supplier.

Mr Peña Nieto served as the president of Mexico from 2012 to 2018.

Guzmán, 61, has been on trial in Brooklyn since November after he was extradited from Mexico to face charges of trafficking cocaine, heroin and other drugs as leader of what the US has called the world’s largest drug cartel.

Jeffrey Peterson, a former Democrat and founder of Quepasa (MeetMe), thinks the corruption between drug cartels and Mexican government officials has leaked over to the United States; more specifically, to the Democrat party.

This may be why Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to stop any kind of border wall legislation. They do not want, and will never support, a physical barrier between the U.S. and Mexico as long as the (alleged) corrupt payoffs from cartel killers continue to line their pockets!

In a January tweet, Peterson said the following:

“For anyone who doesn’t believe they’re all very good friends and quite connected, here’s a picture of Pelosi, my former friend Kyrsten Sinema, and someone else, at a baseball game together. It is what it is.”

He continued:

“With as much influence running up into their system now in the form of direct and indirect Mexican billions, Patriots might start to understand the TRUTH about why these two are feeling so much pressure recently.”

It is a known fact that Mexican drug cartels have donated to Hillary Clinton.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, revealed he has evidence the Clinton Foundation received $15 million from cartel leaders.

According to another piece from The Gateway Pundit:

On 9 January 2017, the web site Times.com.mx published an article reporting that Mexican Drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán had donated millions of dollars to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, claiming that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had broken the news.

So, if all of the above information is true, it isn’t surprising many in the Democrat party want to continue pushing for open borders.

If their ultimate goal is to become even more wealthy than they already are (at the expense of the safety and security of common citizens), why wouldn’t they?

“I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump — I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”
