    The National Emergency Act of 1976 gives the President the authority to declare a National Emergency, then direct the military to undertake construction without the Approval of Congress

    It needs to be done.

    I think Trump is setting things up to do just that.

    Agreed. I just wish I could see the looks on the faces of the Geriatric Duo Chuck and Nancy when President Trump pulls it off

    Who I would like to just point out, are TWO OLD WHITE PEOPLE.

    Well GEEEE... how did that happen? I thought by the way the demtrash talks, the republican party is the only one ruled by the overlord hands of OLD WHITE PEOPLE.

    Yes, I want the president to use whatever power he has to get this wall.

    The democrats do NOT want their TIDAL WAVE of UNDOCUMENTED DEMOCRAT VOTERS TO END. That is THE, BOTTOM LINE, to ALL of this, but you don't hear any of these DUMBASS talking heads on TV EVER mention it.

    It would be immediately taken to the courts. Trump would only use it as a cover of last resort. He is trapped. There is no "crisis" and everyone knows it. If passing tax cuts that ended up adding 2 trillion to the national debt was more important then there is no crisis.

    Funny Trump didn't say a peep about the caravan or terrorists last night. Played the drug card because that is all he got left and even that is shaky at best.

    As I see it, there's a developing crisis.

    It'll get a lot worse if it becomes obvious that inaction rules the day.

    Let's say nothing of any real substance comes of all this ... that squabbles over that wall just carry on, without real action taken. What disincentive does that give to further migrants ? They'd be trying to cross the border in multiples of their current numbers.

    This is all, surely, painfully obvious ??

    The Dems - IF they have America's interests at heart !! - need to wake up to all that, and to understand that if they don't cooperate with Trump, they'll be provably acting AGAINST your country's interests.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    Developing crisis? Look at this chart. 2018 was likely at a 1970 level.

    And it would immediately be overturned by the Supreme Court. The president CLEARLY has the power to declare a national emergency. It's been done before, many times.

    I don't know what planet he's "trapped" on, but it's not EARTH. Right now he holds all the cards. The democrats are the ones scurrying around like cockroaches in a sewer trying to figure out how they can keep this one from totally biting them in the ass, again.

    Ignoring the other link, along with your opinion of the latest historic surge is what's irrelevant.

    There's a crisis on the border. There is a crisis with illegal aliens in America, period, no matter what flavor leftist bull shit you try and spread here... sorry.

    I read a report in the paper, obscurely hidden in the back pages of the liberal rag,
    of another group of 15,000 massing in Honduras and intending to come North.

    No 'crisis'?

    How many trillion in debt were we already? You seem concerned with the economy and/or the law when it suits your warped arguments.

    The purpose of the National Emergency Act is to circumvent Congress and the Courts. Good luck.

    My Ass!
    I found the article finally. It states they intend to go into Southern Mexico,
    but how many might keep on truckin' North if we do not take a stand NOW,
    and block the border?
