According the government, illegals and drugs crossing are at their lowest point in years. So it is not an emergency.
The only emergency is that little Donnie is butt hurt.
There are still 30,000 illegals crossing our border every month along with thousands in caravans marching up to our border seeking entry. Our border has been in an emergency mode for decades now it has just accelerated.
What? No one wants that. We are wasting Congress' time, wasting the courts' time, and just plain wasting time by arguing over a wall when there are far better methods of stopping illegals.
Just what are these so-called far better methods to deter illegal entry other that good physical barriers? You know better than the facts provided how the good walls do work and the sentiments of the Border Patrol and Homeland Security? Ridiculous!

No one has a right to a better life by breaking laws and taking what doesn't belong to them. There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a fair wage. Who do you think were doing them before millions of cheap illegals flooded our border to make the rich, richer?
We have unlimited visas for legal, foreign farm workers so WTH are you talking about? All of the greedy employers do is reap the profits from their cheap, illegal workers while they pass on to the taxpayer the over $100 billion a year that they cost us. I suggest you take off your ethnic blinders, learn the truth and also some respect for the rule of law!
You're absolutely right. I cannot for the life of me comprehend this embrace of illegal immigration by the left (from both Democrats and establishment Republicans). Its all about the check (in the case of establishment Republicans) or the vote (in the case of Democrats) and is sickening.
Because these illegal immigrants then can be made into legal citizens and then continue to vote in these anti-American and deep state establishment scum! This is how almost all great empire implode. From the inside out, or as Trojan horses. The environmental protection act is a great Trojan horse. Used to promote protecting the environment, but in reality is being used to steal from the American people, either be it tax money, or land for that matter. Remember a few years ago, someone on a homestead exemption in Florida had a nice sized lot on the coast. EPA came in and used eminent domain to force them off of their land, claiming something about sea turtles. The family got like $250,000 for the property for their "troubles". Then we learn that about 2 years later, the county who ended up getting this land for a bargain, sold it for millions to a hotel. It's why now whenever someone claims they care about the environment, or about climate change and all that other BS, I see it as nothing more than them trying to get people to agree to allow themselves to be taxes and bullied by the government "for the better good of humanity".
Yes, he can veto. So, while a rebuke in the GOP-led Senate would be an embarrassment to the administration, it would be of no consequence unless both the Senate and the House can muster enough votes for a veto-override, which does not look likely in the least.
"So, while a rebuke in the GOP-led Senate would be an embarrassment to the administration,"
I disagree. Trump was elected partially to go AGAINST the "establishment"?
IMO, if Trump vetoes the bill it wiill be an embarrassment against the GOPs in the senate.

"illegals and drugs crossing are at their lowest point in years."
And WHAT ARE those numbers? And WHY do you think that is?
So, if a cat 5 hurricane is moving toward your house and suddenly drops to a cat 3, it is no longer is an "emergency" according to you!
So, we should see the effects of that HUGE bust, like multiple areas with drug shortages, a sudden, major reduction in drug arrests, investigations, convictions, etc....right?
They are just looking for a better life, away from crime in their country and better opportunities. They take menial jobs here and work hard. And these are jobs Americans don’t want to do especially farming. We need them
"They take menial jobs here and work hard. And these are jobs Americans don’t want to do"
You are SO MIS-INFORMED!
Have you ever driven by a construction site?
I take that back. You wouldn't know what a construction site is.
We need the migrants and immigrants that we choose.
We do not need people who simply walk in unidentified.
