So the conservative Court Justices ruled against the Appropriation Clause.
"The Appropriations Clause is the cornerstone of Congress's "power of the purse." It assigns to Congress the role of final arbiter of the use of public funds. The source of Congress's power to spend derives from Article I, Section 8, Clause 1. The Appropriations Clause provides Congress with a mechanism to control or to limit spending by the federal government."
Just heard this on a TV Newscast. Will provide a link as soon as possible.
ON EDIT: President Trump just issued a tweet saying:
WOW! Big VICTORY on the Wall. The United States Supreme Court overturns a lower court injunction, allows Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for Border Security and the Rule of Law!
Good.
Now let’s get that southern border sealed and stop all the illegals coming from Mexico, like should’ve been done decades ago.
There's your link...Trump plays on average 87 times per year. Obama played an average of 42 times per year. It was your side that posted that Obama only played golf...just proving once again how wrong your side is.
I don't give a rotund rat's rear end how many times a year a president plays golf.......
The fact is the act was unconstitutional that’s why conservative judges simply ruled the parties suing had no right to. If it had been decided that the act itself was constitutional you could throw Article 1 Section 8 out with the trash.
AHHH, another whining when the court does NOT go you way but, you PRAISE them when they do!
True, Dems have been stalling and blocking for years any attempt at border security, and literally triple downed when Trump was elected. We’d have had the wall almost finished by now if they’d have quit blocking him every step of the way.
" Dems have been stalling and blocking for years any attempt at border security"
BUT they rallied behind obama's want to build border walls/fences.
While it's fun to see people calling him out on the whole, "Mexico will pay for it!!" shtick, I don't think anyone ever actually believed that Mexico would pay for it, at least not directly.
I've had mixed feelings about "The Great Wall of the United States of America" since Trump started haranguing about it. I thought it sounded kinda stupid, to be honest. Then the Dems went full retard and started supporting illegal immigration. Now Trump's wall sounds like a fantastic idea.
Want to end the whole business of children in cages, 80% of women getting raped by their traffickers, people dying in the desert, caravans numbering in the thousands coming through Mexico, rampant disease, people drinking out of toilets, toddlers being sold into sex slavery, etc.?? Want all that to end? Build the wall. Put troops on the border to patrol and guard that wall. Make sure to monitor for people tunneling under or going over. But you kinda gotta build the damn wall. Utilize every bit of tech at our disposal to make it a truly impassible barrier. Make the whole idea of getting here to begin with look so impossibly difficult, they simply stay home. Then, IMHO, you increase our legal immigration quotas and massively simplify the naturalization and citizenship process. We get it. Migrants want to come here. The USA is awesome and their countries absolutely suck. Any sane person already knows this. So completely shut down the illegal ways of getting here and make it easier to do it legally.
PS: The whole thing gets 1000% easier if you decriminalize all illicit drugs and put the drug smugglers out of business. Then you can fully focus on illegal human trafficking at the border.

The INCREASE in tariffs to Mexico is helping.
