I think we all knew this was going to come sooner or later, Trump has officially declared a national emergency regarding what he calls "an invasion of the country" I don't know if everyone this section will agree with this, though I personally do think that a border wall (and more funding for border security) is necessary to combat the problems we have at our border.

Trump is going to be able to divert around $6.7B from other appropriated areas to use towards his wall + the money that was secured in the last spending bill, which I'm pretty sure is around 1.4b

Quote below is from the WSJ explaining where this money is coming from.


Lets see what yall think about this!

Incoming national emergency in 2020 for gun violence, climate change and national debt!  Look for the democratic POTUS to usurp congress at every possible opportunity!!!

Trump aint getting any of that money, Truman tried this horse shit already and it didn't work, the courts (even the conservative SCOTUS) will not allow a precedent like this to move forward.  Trump already knows he is getting sued and will lose in the 9th circuit and the appellate court and is praying that the SCOTUS will side with him.  This is going to be held up for a lot longer than Trump will be in office and the court cases will get dropped as soon as Trump is out of office.

Trump lost on his wall and he lied about Mexico paying for it.  So either the courts knock this shit out or it sets precedent for future dem POTUS' and in all honestly a few lousy billion for a precedent that will open up a world of awesome sauce is probably worth it in the long run.

Now let Mr. Trump carry on we wouldn't want to interrupt him when he is making a mistake!

TL;DR - Trump fulfills campaign promise, stock market rallies, liberals upset.

Honestly, this is without a doubt my concern as well. I do really do think that this is going to set a precedent where the executive attempts to overstep.

I do think that SCOTUS will side with him. Though I really don't FULLY know what fits the definition with for 'national emergency' so we'll have to see.

We at least agree on this setting a bad precedent Hellfish!!!!!!! I think that even if he does lose in the courts, he can say that 'he tried' to his supporters and that he did his best, but DEMOCRATS stopped him.

First politician in a long time that's actually fighting for his promises. Wonderful to see.

I think it sets an amazing precedent actually!  A few billion dollars now for the ability to side step congress in the future at will, holy fuck it's going to be so awesome.  Just think for one second what President Warren or President Sanders could do with this power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Or in a few years President AOC...

Unfortunately there is an almost 0% chance this works.

Thank god Cortez can't be President for another 8 years, maybe then people will notice how crazy and barely functioning her brain is. God her 'green new deal' is a horrible thing to see, I don't know how anyone can support it.

Warren won't win and nor will Sanders, you can hold me on that.

Wasn't his campaign promise that Mexico would pay for the wall?

Ah I see, since he is not fulfilling them all this promise being fulfilled is meaningless is it? Most people who support the wall don't care. Frankly I think he will figure that out later after everyone has forgot about it and assumes it has been abandoned. There are lots of ways to get it done, but they would all be impediments to getting the wall built which is the first priority.

Some additional interesting information...

I'm perfectly fine with having the Supreme Court decide the issue of whether the border is or is not a national crisis. There seems to be a difference of opinion on the issue, doesn't there?

So did the Democrats.  They pushed Trump into it, thinking it would ruin him.  All that after trying to get $40 billion for "border security."  More like $40 billion for Fast and Furious.  It's going to backfire (pun intended.)  Americans want a secure border, while petty Democrats merely want to prevent a "Trump Wall" sprawling across hundreds of miles across our southern border.


Why would Trump call for a national emergency for any of those things?  You can't have a national emergency against the constitution.  The 9th circus can only delay the inevitable...  With six more years of Trump the 9th circus might start looking like a real court again. 


And they are, in a round about way.


Trump is working for the best interest of Americans, and having a POTUS who does was long overdue. Fixing border security is getting to emergency status.  If problems such as drugs, human trafficking, and thousands of illegal immigrants don't qualify as an emergency, I don't know what does.  To put things into perspective: Democrats don't want to spend more $1.375 billion to protect Americans, but they'll spend tens of billions per year on foreign aid or some random boondoggle.  California's governor has over $3 billion of federal grant money that he would rather squander on a train he knows won't get finished, than give it back to help pay for the wall.

My favourite part of the declaration was when he said "I didn't need to do this", I mean the man is so stupid he said out loud he didn't need to declare an emergency lol.  You fucking trumptards will believe anything the orange retard says, you should believe that part of it!

You mean like 2 years of daily "The Trump Russia collusion evidence will come out any day now! Any day!... any day... Muller please... please" You mean that kind of retarded?

Why?

I would assume he didn't need to do it if that's what he said.

Why would you or anyone think differently?

No. Not at all. This is an example of taking the rhetoric of a negotiator too literally. It's like fact checking the statement hamburgers "a mile high" and claiming it to be a lie.

The point is that immigration needs to be controlled by a country.

Secondly, there's over 1,000,000 legal immigrants per year so I don't want to hear that cutting illegal immigration is xenophobia.

I agree with Trump, I don't think it's a national emergency either.  According to the polls the majority of Americans agree with Trump that it's not a national emergency.  It's just kind of moronic to say "we have a national emergency" and in the next sentence say I didn't need to declare a national emergency. I could have gotten it through congress but I wanted it done faster...

Trump would actually be a popular president if he could shut the fuck up once and a while, he is literally his own worst enemy hahaha.

It takes a special kind of Trumptard to try and untwist that logic pretzel!

I must be one of those Trumptards then, because I don't even see pretzels!

"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall... Mark my words." - Donald Trump, June 16, 2015.

Usually when people use rhetoric they don't say "mark my words" immediately afterward.

There's not going to be a wall. As a former American who left because he was disgusted with American politics (and in general how full of shit mouthy Americans are), I know this as a certainty.

Don't feel to bad you have lots of company round here, BUILD THE WALL MEXICO!

Seems even Trumptards didn't think he was going to build a wall...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQF6CFQR18o

I think you need a moat, and alligators, maybe. What good is a wall when anyone can build tunnels under it?
Does building this wall provides US jobs? It would be a bit hilarious if they end employing Mexicans to build it (because cheaper labor).

The wall is probably not going to change things much. The country is too big to wall it in. What about entering from the sea?, what about entering from Canada?

Is there a reason I can't see this video or has it been taken down for everyone.

I'd love to see what this COMMIE SHIT IS FLYING HELLFISH.

As long as they are white the right wing doesn't care, it's the "brown" people that the right wing crack pots want to keep out!

I wouldn't want a bunch of snow Mexicans flooding in either... but you enjoy your accusations of racism for simply wanting the law to be enforced.

With a comment like that some one might think you're racist?  Is snow Mexicans meant as an insult to Canadians LOL, you're a special piece of shit aren't you.  Good to know you're not just a cunt but you're a racist cunt!

Now back on topic, since the majority of "illegals" in the US are there because of overstayed visa's it's actually a fact that more illegals enter from Canada than from Mexico...  No one is suggesting or even thinking about a wall on the Northern border!

There you go again, always blaming racism.  That's the argument you use when you really don't have an argument.  I work with a whole lot of Mexican immigrants, the legal kind.  Many of my coworkers are descendants of long-time American families of Hispanic origin.  My family is comprised predominantly of "brown" Arabs.  We all have one thing in common, we're Americans first.  We want what's best for our country.

It's not the color of the Canadians' skin that makes us not want them here, it's the fact that most of them are commies. 

Majority compared to what numbers? Oh right the numbers of illegals sneaking over that no one is documenting by definition? You mean more than those numbers? Even if it were true, so we should just stop trying to enforce the law in other ways because that way happens more? Uh no.

All Canadian citizens in the US are welcome back home any time they want or need, the only one we don't want back is Ted Cruz, you HAVE to keep him.

You mean the Zodiac Killer, right?

Hehe.

I'm still waiting for my invite to YOUR HOUSE.

My house is your house comrade, and everyone else's house!  I wouldn't want to subject you to the bread lines us snow Mexicans have to deal with, you're above that kind of thing!

Just FYI Mexican is not a race, it is a nationality. Or perhaps you want to tell me I am racist against Canadians again? The race of the individuals illegally crossing is irrelevant.

Odd you would mention that, I have just completed mass production of 1,000,000 Ted Cruz clone humans. They shipped out this afternoon for Canada.

Just a minor MAGA scheme to subvert Canada into a ultra right wing powerhouse.

Don't worry, there will be room for you in one of the Soros funded caravans. And I hear it's free to live in the Tent Cities From The Obama Era.

I know that building that wall is expensive but what I don't understand is why Americans and Westerners are making a big fuss about it. It seem to be just common sense if you have a neighbor who don't like you or is a source of immigrants. No one complained about that India-Pakistan border wall that can even be seen at night from space. Thailand and Malaysia are building walls too. It seems building border walls is only bad if you're a Western country, as if everyone else have the right to just walk in.

In the US at least they are making a big fuss about it because the Democrats just lost control and refuse to acknowledge it and have resorted to kicking and stomping their feet for the last 2 years in order to prevent any appearance of success manifesting from Trump. Also the only way they have a chance in 2020 is if they can get a bunch of illegal aliens to vote for them.

True, but there are "races" within Mexico. Get down to Meridia, pretty much Indian no hispanic influence seen. Not that our Canadian friend would have a clue of course...

He probably thinks they are "brown people."

They barely let citizens of color vote and TECSHARE thinks undocumented immigrants can just walk in and vote.

That's just another bald faced lie and you know it.

And yes in many places they can do just walk in and vote.

Tell me Captain Postmodern. What exactly is stopping them?

I just love how all the sources links of your article are, by pure coincidence I'm sure, broken.

So you got an article talking about dead people voting (which is a completely different subject) and another one saying 5% of voters are illegals (OMFG how can anyone believe this?? xD) with TOOOOOOONS of precise numbers but sadly the only link towards the amazing study behind this is broken and the name of the study doesn't give anything of Google.

PURE COINCIDENCE of course.

By the way can you please explain me how a non citizen can even vote? I don't even see how that's physically possible. Anyone can enter a vote office and drop a couple of votes without having to present any kind of ID where you live? xD

If yes that's the dumbest voting system I've ever seen and even newly democratic African don't do this. Just change your voting system into something less moronic.

The links work fine. I am sorry you live in a totalitarian nation that prevents you from being able to view these sources.

Before you speak next time maybe inform yourself. Yes in many states no ID is required to vote. Democrats fight voter ID laws tooth and nail claiming they are racist and will some how reduce the minority vote in spite of the fact every other nation on Earth requires ID to vote. In reality it will reduce the illegal vote, which they need desperately. This assertion is false (http://stanford.edu/%7Ejgrimmer/comment_final.pdf) of course.

No it doesn't...
The link to this article:

works but sadly the only source of the article, the famous harvard study, doesn't work:
https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/cces/home


Then your problem isn't the fraud but the voting system which is so stupid even a 5 years old would understand it's not a good one.

I mean you litteraly ask for people to just come in, sign a piece of paper then vote and you complain about frauds?? xD

The good thing though is that frauds are probably both ways.

Yes, our voting system is that stupid. It largely works for the benefit of Democrats, who are continually working to keep it that stupid.

Well, that was hard... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Cooperative+Congressional+Election+Study

You said all of my sources were broken. None were broken, you are just crying you had to do 1 extra step to look at the source, the name and contents of which were provided.

You don't need to tell me this system is a problem. Direct your criticism to the Democrat party. The Republican party has been trying to get voter ID laws passed for some time, but every time they try Dems scream bloody murder about racism, because it some how stops minority peoples from voting in ways they can't exactly explain. Regardless the fact is fraud is rampant.

Also your attempt at equivalence is false, because illegal immigrants lean heavily to the left. Furthermore the pattern of past proven recorded fraud also lies heavily in the realm of the Democrat party. I am from Chicagoland, a place of at least 4 generations of unbroken organized crime control under the Democrat party & the home of Obama. I don't think there are many lessons in this realm you have to teach me.

So you mean the link wasn't broken but I need to go find the study by myself? How illogical is that? If your source wasn't broken I wouldn't have to find it on the CCES site xD

So yes your link has only one source and this source is broken.

Then when I go try to find this miraculous study explaining how much illegals are voting I find only raw data (not a study) so your source is lying with talking about a "Harvard study" (or at least they're not providing any link to such study and this study doesn't exist on the CCES site).

And when you look at the raw data you see that there is no category, no label, nothing refering as "illegals" or "nationality" or anything similar.

SO you give a link to an article claiming a Harvard study proves tons of things about how illegal vote. Their source link is broken. Then I go to the CCES site and try to find such study by myself and find nothing but a raw data tab. Then I open this raw data tab and don't see anything related to something like what your article claims to be...

So now please shut the fuck up.

And you wonder why I mock you. Take it to the right thread dickhead.

I'm not familiar with the border part of the US but since I've seen border checkpoints and fences in movies and such, I'm assuming that there is some preexisting "wall". How much of the border with Mexico have at least a fence?

I wonder if the expense of building a wall would outweigh the expense of having process all those migrants. I've seen news about those coming from Central American countries like Guatemala. These "migrant caravans" broke through Mexico's border fence, were offered jobs and such but still proceeded towards the US.

Most of the border is totally unprotected by barriers. For the most part they rely on natural features such as mountains and rivers. If you are taking into account all the public resources they use once they get here there is no doubt a wall would pay for itself very fast.

here in the USA news stories about illegals voting are fairly common. These matters are investigated both at the state and federal level.

Usually it's state compilations of fraud that are pretty accurate.

I'd guess less than 10% had a serious wall, 90% nothing or maybe a simple wire fence or a 100 year old ranch fence. Some of those areas are very rough.

One town I've been to, there's this nice 25' high fence made of 6x6 rectangular steel tubing on the border. But you look off in the distance, maybe a mile down you can see where it ends....

This probably wasn't a big problem decades ago else the US would have already completely fenced it off then. I understand why people are arguing about the expense though. Just that border with Mexico is longer than some European countries' land borders with each other.

Has anyone made an estimate of what these immigrants will cost the US during their entire lifetimes? The social cost would also probably be high though not as high as Europeans are going to pay. Heard one town in Colorado made it NOT illegal to defecate in public coz these people are pooping everywhere and they'll run out of prison space if they catch them all.


LOL, then that wall is just for show. Why jump over a wall if you can just walk around it. ;D

Mexican and South American immigrants are not the type of people that do that sort of stuff. Yes in Europe that may be true of your new North African immigrant hordes, but not here. Never.


Because they don't want to walk two miles in that dirt. And they know that once on the other side, it's 30 miles to the next town and 25 miles after that is the interior border check.

That's what I thought too so I was kinda taken aback when I first heard it. It did started checking it when I saw your reply and it turns out that they simply lowered the penalties for such behavior May 2017.

No, I'm quite serious. These are not those kinds of people. These are mostly civilized people some from farms many from cities all with mobile phones. Most look for work and find it, often work for cash. $150USD / day is typical.

There's a seriously bad percentage like 1-5% that has to be reckoned with, of course.
