I still support the wall 500%. I don't have an issue if they compromise and it's fencing and sensors and all the other jazz to truly prevent folks from getting in. But there's only so far I think he should compromise. And you can't build without the funding, of course which they, being the Dems, would prefer to play games with than give to help build.
So Trump did an end around to get the funding. And although legal, makes many folks, myself included, wonder about what precedent gets set and just how far others would be able to then duplicate in the future.
But IS there literally any other way to get the funding necessary to build? If literally no, then I say soldier on forward DJT!!! But if they can compromise and find another avenue to do so, I can support that.

Senate to Vote on Bill Ending Border Wall National Emergency Thursday
The Senate will vote on Thursday on a resolution that would nullify President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration to build a wall along the southern border.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said during a press conference on Tuesday, “It is no secret that the use of the national emergency law has generated a good deal of discussion. It’ll all come to a head on Thursday.”
McConnell also said Tuesday that Senate Republicans continue to look for ways to amend President Trump’s executive authority given to him through the National Emergencies Act of 1976. The Senate majority leader said that many Senate Republicans have discomfort with the level of the executive authority Congress gave the president to declare an emergency.
The Senate leader said:
There’s a lot of discomfort with the law — not that the president doesn’t have the authority to do what he is doing. I think most of my members believe this is not a constitutional issue in that sense, but rather — is this grant of authority to any president, not just this one, any president — was it too broad back in the ’70s when it was passed?
House Democrats passed a resolution in February that would end the national emergency; however, the bill passed with less than a veto-proof majority.
