    Why was it not an emergency when GOP blocked it for 8 years?

    Not deadset against all national emergencies, just fake ones where the president himself declares he didn't need to do it, and the Congress that was in his party's control for 2 years prior didn't either(or give him the money for his monument).

    They needed grape pickers. Now it's mechanized.

    Read about Ceasar Chavez. One person can make a difference, such as Rosa Parks.

    Am I triggering any cons?:blahblah:

    If Conservatives and Liberals are against the money grab, then who is for it?

    Only Trump loyalists are for it.

    DONALD TRUMP NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION SLAMMED BY CONSERVATIVE GROUPS: ‘ERODES’ 200 YEARS OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
    https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-emergency-declaration-conservative-groups-criticized-1333700


    Not only are progressives and Democrats lamenting the decision, but a collection of right-leaning business groups and think tanks—generally aligned with the Republican Party—have also joined the chorus warning Trump’s declaration could set a dangerous precedent for American politics.

    Kentucky Senator Rand Paul warned the declaration is likely unconstitutional, Maine Senator Susan Collins said the move would be a “mistake,” and Michigan Representative Justin Amashsaid the president was “attempting to circumvent the constitution” over a “non-emergency.”

    It proves that President Trump places the welfare of US citizens and border patrol agents above the welfare of non citizens.

    The 1% consisting overwhelmingly of modern liberals don't have to worry about illegal alien crime. They live within walled housing complexes.

    Your revolting rejection of this country’s founding principles is a great way to induce vomiting.

    He’s driven by a craven desire to be adored by his dwindling base.

    Congrats, “base”.

    Trump’s action to save the lives of US citizens is Constitutional. What is disgusting is the Democratic Party placing the welfare of US citizens below that of US citizens.
