You may want to be careful what you wish for.
I have heard reference to a Wall Street Journal article from last week where Trump could declare a national emergency and gain access to 13 Billion in Pentagon funds........all legally. I don't approve, but supposedly it's OK. The scary thing is if the emergency is declared, Pelosi already has the lawsuit drafted to file in CA and WA. Hence, it will definitely hit SCOTUS and not necessarily turn out the way anyone will like.

"Secure Fence Act of 2006, which called for construction of 700 miles of fencing and enhanced surveillance technology, such as unmanned drones, ground-based sensors, satellites, radar coverage and cameras. Sen. Chuck Schumer and then-Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were among a bipartisan majority that voted in favor of the legislation, and it was signed into law by President George W. Bush.
Do you not know the difference between a wall and what the Democrats voted for in 2006? Seriously?

....wall/fence/barrier? Do you actually think that a singe strand of barb wire fence will detour anyone crossing our southern border? Or as Nancy Polosi said mowing the grass along the border will keep out illegal aliens?


We have been using drones and cameras for years without stopping the flow of illegals. Time to do what Obama has done around his house and build a wall.

You stated that the Democrats "supported money to build the wall." You lied. Admit it.

Camera surveillance, which is what the Democrats support, is not at all the same as a physical wall. But you knew that already.

Do you have a fence on your property? Do you consider it a fence or a wall? Semantics....

There is no indication that President Obama shut down the government to pass the ACA. Here is the time line: Timeline: Affordable Care Act’s long road to political reality

Why do you feel the need to lie? Is it because Trump's tactics are one outrage after another?The truth is always only a few clicks away.

Have cameras worked over the last several years? How has they stopped the flow of illegals into the country? They haven't!

And on some moonless night in a neglected spot they will pour in like water through a broken dyke.

Trump says declaring a national emergency would be the easy way out but it sure doesn't appear that simple.
