Isn't declaring a national emergency the same as declaring martial law?

    Exactly. The D's are shooting themselves in the foot by putting the welfare of non US citizens above the welfare of US citizens.

    The Dems are not supporting migrant well being, either. By blocking legal immigration solutions they are prompting the continued financial exploitation of illegals, who have to settle for less compensation because of their illegal status.

    Where was he either? Everyone knew all this was quite possible if the Dems didn't act and there are many precedents for his actions. How is it "ethical" to allow open borders?

    It's disgusting that the left has no concern for the lives of US citizens.

    But they are protecting those here illegally and encourage more illegal aliens (some of whom are criminals) to illegally cross the border. And of course the sanctuary states/cities.

    He is acting to save the lives of US citizens. People are dying every day due to our porous southern border. That's not an emergency ??

    All these court proceedings will be further proof that the government is not acting to protect US citizens and further incentive to reelect Trump and others like him.

    And what will convince them of this? More tax cuts where the wealthy get millions and we get pundits telling us how we can buy a new car or take a vacation on a thousand dollars? More tariffs where all of us have to pay for jobs that aren't there anyway? More immigrant children crying for their parents?

    I sympathize. It must be frustrating indeed, how much pointless idiocy does it take to convince us that Trump is our savior?

    Jim Acosta questioned Trump on whether the Democrats were correct in their statements questioning the wall as a reality based action to protect US citizens. An angel Mom got up and showed him a blown up picture of her dead child. “This is reality” she said. And that is how Trump will use the wall to win the election.

    The economy is booming. Unemployment is at all time low levels. Minority unemployment is at all time low levels. The LFPR is finally going up. The threat of tariffs is resulting in new and better trade deals.

    The wall prevents illegal alien children crying for their parents.

    What does it take for the Democrats to wake up. They claim to be “woke” but they are fast asleep.

    If it's such a crisis and an emergency, why didn't Trump try to get funding for his wall during the past two years while Republicans had control of both Houses?

    You are trying to change the meaning of "sanctuary" to demonize. It's what republikkkans do.

    Concerning your concern for immigrants: that's very white of you.
