It doesn't have to be an emergency, it was his fundamental campaign promise.

If Trump doesn't deliver the wall, the liberal media will have a field day.

Make no mistake, this is Trump's Alamo whether you like it or not.

If those coming were intent on invading your city/town and bringing all the need for resources and potential crime to your doorstep, you'd likely feel very differently.
Yet you and others seem to lack empathy for those fellow American citizens who will have to deal with such things.

Liberals seem to worry about how criminals in jail are treated, and minorities who might be unfairly targeted by LE.
Yet few seem to care about law abiding America citizens who must deal with all the ills that illegal aliens bring to our country.
Why is that?

LMFAO! You must be terrified having to be surrounded by all those illegal gangster criminals. I guess the struggle is REAL. Seriously man, don't believe everything you see on T.V.

It will be great! Thanks Republicans! All for a wall, lol.
Trump keeps his key campaign promise of building a wall, and you think that's a good thing for Democrats?

White House preparing national emergency order - includes $7 billion for the wall
The courts should be preparing to strike it down, since this is only a pathetic attempt to bypass the Congress and the Constitution.

Since Roger Stone was arrested, let’s put this wall boondoggle to rest. It was Stone’s ridiculous campaign idea.

Stone is toast; the wall is toast.

It became an emergency when GOP lost full control of all branches of the government. Now they can blame Dems for their own inability to build the wall.

Yes I do! The battle was lost but it led to Mexico losing Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California to the United States. It didn't work out too well for Mexico. Are you sure you want to keep that analogy?

So President arse hat gets the money for the wall. Either Muller gets to him first for whatever reasons. OR in 2020 he loses the election and funding for the wall is revoked.
