The American people know there's no emergency. But by all means, encourage Trump to declare a national emergency. I look forward to the fallout.
The American people who deal with it daily know that there's been an emergency on our Southern Border for decades. How many more Americans have to die at the hands of illegals before you start to acknowledge the truth? How many more completely preventable injuries, crimes and deaths will we have to see before you acknowledge the truth?
According to Trump it has been a national emergency for almost 2 months now, so why is he so scared to proclaim one? My guess is that he is lying as usual. If it were truly an emergency, he would have already declared it.
Quite frankly it has been a national emergency for the last 50 years or so. None of the previous administrations (Republican or Democrat) REALLY wanted to resolve the issue. Unfortunately a lot of clueless people in our nation don't believe it is an emergency or for that matter, even important to secure our borders. Why? Because most have not have been personally impacted. As I've noted before, several of my family members were nearly killed by 4 illegals....to me it IS an emergency!
Haven't you been listening? Trump has laid out the issues end to end for months. Law enforcement say a barrier is needed. Democrats in past years before the crisis became this bad advocated for a wall along the border. The need is there and has been explained time and time again. Pay attention.
Emergencies, by their nature, are emergent. It's in the name. If there is time to lay out the issues for months on end, it's - not an emergency. The Presidential right to declare an emergency is not there to provide a petulant Chief Executive a way of circumventing Congress by royal decree.

The people who live close to the border know there is an emergency. A bus load passed me yesterday, from Laredo going to the immigration office. I can't wait till they are at your door step. Some of you guys need to rethink this.
Both Senators Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn have warned Trump such an action would deeplyl divide the GOP and that Trump would suffer major defections in such a vote.
I actually hope Trump tries this. It could finally force the GOP's hand.

And what's even more awesome is that Trump, the master negotiator, has done this to himself. He's put himself in this god awful position to where he loses either way.

That's impressive. Was this painted on the side of the bus, or did your X-ray vision provide you with this useful piece of trivia?
