That's the same $$ they offered before the shutdown. Same deal as last year, but now they want to specify what can be built?
Shove it!
Emergency! Build the Wall!

There could be a total of five Dems in all of Congress, and they would still get their way. Republicans are so spineless.

and uses military funds to build the wall
Please cite what funds in HR 6157 can be shifted without Congressional approval. I assume you want to reprogram more than $15M, correct?

If he calls Emergency the courts will have it for years and he loses the issue in 2020. The GOP wants this in courts so they can shift blame to judges. You guys don’t see what’s going on here?
He doesn't even have to call for a NE.

Done by executive order, this plan would allow the White House to shift money from different budgetary accounts without congressional approval, circumventing Democrats who refuse to give Trump anything like the $5.7 billion he has demanded. Nor would it require a controversial emergency declaration.
The emerging consensus among acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and top budget officials is to shift money from two Army Corps of Engineers’ flood control projects in Northern California, as well as from disaster relief funds intended for California and Puerto Rico. The plan will also tap unspent Department of Defense funds for military construction, like family housing or infrastructure for military bases, according to three sources familiar with the negotiations.

He actually needs about $30B...

Trump is clearly going to VETO this based on his speech tonight. He has made it very clear he is going to VETO.

Didn't the Democrats offer him that amount earlier and he refused?

Do you know how many miles of wall have already been built?

Even if Trump decides that the legal obstacles of an executive order are less daunting that those that would come with a national emergency declaration, tapping unspent funds intended for disaster relief and military construction would bring serious political and policy risks.
Taking Corps funds away for rebuilding in Puerto Rico instead of Texas isn’t exactly going to win him votes in Florida? Also he would be taking funds out of California. Opponents are going to point out he’s favoring red states over blue when pulling funding?
It would be ballsy... but could be best option. Worse thing he can do is order National Emergency imo

• Prohibitions on use of concrete wall
The Dems seem really hung up on the concrete part.
They must believe it works.
(or rather, a make-shift dummy wall of spikes they feel can be easily removed once Trump is out of office.)
They want nothing permanent or anything that will cost a lot to dismantle once Trump has left office after his 2nd term.

I don't imagine there's a large group of voters who have the handling of Hurricane Maria as even one of their top 10 issues saying, "I was on the fence with Trump after he tossed around paper towels like footballs, but this crosses the line."

Meh. That's reaching.
You're right MSM will scream for the reasons you just listed but that'll roll of his back and be forgotten about in a week.
Meanwhile - Trump got the job done while Dems fought tooth and nail to let illegals into the country and to weaken ICE.

I don’t understand why we aren’t presentented with risk assessment on why a border barrier needs to built in certain areas? Have it disburse with the cost /effect analysis and the exact locations we need to focus on immediately. Have border security, the Corps and Homeland Security sign off on the project. If they say we need 15 billion for proper security at border then it’s less partisan.
