Standards? DemProgFilth only have one standard: Whatever it takes.

They only care about laws other people, mainly Repubs, break. They have zero concerns, cares, for their own law breaking.

Social constructs like mores and ethics? Does not exist for more than a soundbite during a campaign, or to be used to malign a decent human being when applied by DemProgFilth.

Well, an invasion pretty much rises to that level.

However the over/under on today's announcement seems to be 1 billion for border "security". Immigration judges, daca amnesty, more h1Bs, and no wall

No wall = no America, no GOP, and no Trump.

So we shall see.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into our southern border bringing drugs, human trafficking & terrorist with them.

But Trump isn’t a progressive, so he’ll act within the confines of government to protect the American people. When it happens, you’ll know the details before you pass it to see what’s in it.

Ok I will start.

Foreign invasion of a sovereign nation is a reason to declare a national emergency!

Fair point but one hits the entire country economically. The other is a dem ploy to keep a win away from trump. If a wall is built the Dems will move on to the next BS resistance talking point. You destroy the economy with stupid climate change initiatives and there will be riots.

Foisting absolute made up bullshite to try to bring down the president and then having ALL of the mainstream media push it relentlessly is a national crisis, a LOT more dangerous than ANYTHING Russia could do. These assholes are attacking our government.

WTF do you propose we do about it, now that I have defined a national emergency for you?

This is honestly why I think it's a very bad idea.

Normally I would agree, but the dems will use ANY tactic they can when they have power. Whether Trump does it or not.

Constitutional Americans see Democracy-based (imported voters) "fundamental change" as an emergency, bd. Progressives (Authoritarian Democratic Global Socialist) see a continued rule of Constitutional Principle as an emergency. So...go figure.

A team of lawyers and the Pentagon have been consulted IF he declares an emergency @ our southern border.

No one wants a democrat POTUS to declare a green global warming Carbon tax for us all; as we are all overtaxed, double taxed (SS payments taxed while working and again when collected) to our graves.

A lot of Presidents have declared a national emergency over a vast subject of things basically unnoticed. Trump is noticed.

Who got you banned? Welcome back. You are a PITAss contrarian but you shouldn't be banned.

His latest tweet is hinting he may declare an emergency?

I see your point but that particular scenario wouldn’t hold because taxes can only be levied by Congress.

I’d worry more about them stacking the Supreme Court by adding seats then using the next school shooting to declare an emergency and order firearm confiscation

Illegal border crossings have precipitated an immigrant crisis that costs us tax payers roughly 113b. That's the cost of hurricane Katrina, every single year, and growing.

Yes, it's a national emergency


Heritage foundation had a report in 2010 noting that households led by undocumented immigrants received about $85 billion a year in benefits. They probably over estimate too given their obvious biases.

Worth noting these studies typically note costs but not benefits.. inflating the number.

Yes they should but the liberals and the media have a terminal case of TDS.

Since when have liberals cared about the Constitution?

Which is why it is vital that democrats do not get control of the Senate until this outbreak of radical leftisms dies out like the previous ones have all done.

He would be declaring a national emergency in the name of border security.

If a dem were to try to do the same in order to get rid of the wall, what would their reasoning be? Serious question...not enough tacos in the states?
