As an attorney my definition of a national emergency is thousands of mostly healthy young males storming our borders and going to the welfare office so we taxpayers can supported them or more likely run up our national debt which hit 22 trillion today.

'Do your duty and leave the rest to the gods.' - Corneille

'What are the chances' that the Post-Fairness Act 'news' plays 'dumb' here- as if, in the end, it cannot marshal its considerable resources and interview Constitutional lawyers to promulgate a 'news story' in real time re 'the underlying Constitutionality' of the operative facts.

Is WSJ asking this as a matter of serious policy or a matter of sappy journalism?

American people should volunteer free labor and suppliers should forego profit and build the wall as an American project for the people of America. A sense of community and national pride. The wall of Proud Americans built by Americans coming together True National Pride.

WE ARE WITH YOU MR. PRESIDENT CLOSE SEAL AND BUILT THE WALL

He may be hitting a brick wall trying to declare a national emergency

Children being murdered in their schools...health care that doesn’t cover poor people...pharmaceutical companies permitted to overcharge for necessary medications...these are not national emergencies...but a wall is? Unconscionable.

Clinton declared a National Emergency to protect Burmese. Bush declared a National Emergency to protect Belarusians. Obama declares a National Emergency to protect Burundians. Trump declared a National Emergency to protect Americans. See the difference?

1st up for the Democratic President in 2020 - declaring the Republican party a national emergency. The GOP is finished. Their only chance of survival is to impeach Trump.

ProcessISInc HE is your national emergency, folks!😂

BUILDTHEWALL

Our CA schools are overcrowded w/unvaccinated kids who don’t want to study; our hospitals are overcrowded with people who don’t pay, causing our ins rates to rise; gangs killing & drugs easily obtained. CA is becoming a third-world State.

Pray tell, what constitutes a national emergency? Less activity at a border than we’ve had in ages? You people are delusional. Perhaps criminal. Lawsuits will ensue.🙄🍿💙🇺🇸

Deep state coup attempt?

Wasn't Mexico going to pay for it?

Finally

Shouldnt sign the bill at all and declare a national emergency 🤷‍♂️

Does this mean the next democratic president can do the same with gun control?

well, bird flu counted as one. let’s start with the high hurdle

That's why he plays GOLF INSIDE HIS LIVING SPACE!!! Plays GOLF ALSO WITH TIGER !!! I CALL BS

realDonaldTrump abuses power, the same way he abuses women. The two things go together! Beware of the snake! He's a shell of a human, but he is powered by a foreign brain!

VP POTUS Spin this one Spinner Man You can Fook people sometimes, but you Can't Fool them All the Time Americans interviews Real people Directly From Venezuela, learn the Truth The Establishment is Lying to the USA Citizens

Amen a President with balls

It'll get shot down in the courts and he'll be left with his '50 mile barrier' on over 700 miles of border.

The ACLU Has Sued The Trump Administration For Keeping Migrants Seeking Asylum In MexicoThe first asylum-seeking Central American families — five families made up of four women, one couple, and 10 children — were sent back to Mexico from the US on Wednesday. Lmao good luck. Suing for a place they have no claim to. Maybe the United States can sue illegal immigrants for entering the country illegally! Bahaha StepAhead SueYouForSuing Letting them stay in the US while their cases were pending was a courtesy, not a requirement of seeking asylum. There are cities in the US that are as dangerous as anywhere in Mexico. They have a right to APPLY for asylum sure but they do not have the right to remain in the US.

The net worth of every US president from George Washington to Donald TrumpWhile the presidency of the United States is a prestigious job, it does not pay as well as one might think. You gotta be rich to become President so who gives a shit.. I'm just going to go out on a limb and say $400k the rest of one's days is pretty damn good money... A two term president with today’s salary ends up with like 3 million dollars in income.
