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

    Review the thread again. Why should we be obligated to summarize the discussion that your brain was not able to process the first time.

    The left never really thought about border security

    The only thing they cared about was open borders so that more illegals could reach America

    So they have little personal knowledge about what it takes to secure the border

    Exactly. And if the port of entry detection process is enhanced (as is part of the overall border security plan) without a southern border wall system the drugs will be walked across the southern border again.

    What besides not building a wall interests you?

    Walls will not make any difference as drugs are just thrown over walls to their partners in crime on the other side of the border

    This is the failed narrative that since a wall will not stop anything 100% then don't build one when in fact, walls do work. The walls proposed also have electronic surveillance. It hinders crossing to the extend that hundreds a day, possibly thousands, try to cross. At least 600 a day in McAllen alone.

    Correct. Congress has been 100% in agreement with all of his national emergency declarations.

    No need to throw it over when you can just pass it through the slats in the fence.

    We were talking about drugs, but you are correct. Walls do not work. When it comes to drugs, they won't make any difference whatsoever.

    You made the claim that having walls will effect the amount of drugs crossing over and that is what I addressed. Walls will have no significant effect on drug traffickers

    Lots of things "interest" me.

    I was asking what you trumpers are proposing in addition to a "wall". That's for you guys to answer, not me.

    I've followed the thread from the start, and you orange goofballs have done nothing of the kind.

    If you don't have anything, then just quietly cede the thread to the adults. Danke.

    And I am asking what trump haters are actually putting into law to stop illegal aliens from invading our country?

    The answer is nothing

    The answer isn't "nothing", my blind amigo.

    I asked you guys what you wanted in addition to trump's vanity wall, and I get nothing but crickets chirping and cow farts.

    Oh, so Congress only has to agree with national emergency declarations but the president can tell them to pound sand all day long for executive orders? One kind of end run around Congress is just fine, while another is a ****ing constitutional crisis. Again, I’d love to see some intellectual consistency here.

    Its not a vanity wall

    Its what 62 million trump voters are demanding

    Besides the wall we need more electronic monitoring, more BP agents with helicopters, US military, and stronger laws after we catch them

    Not only are they doing nothing, they are rolling out the red carpet. Unfettered illegal immigration is a key component of their long term strategy to “fundamentally transforn America.”

    You should have done that research on the Steele Dossier and the border emergencies two years ago, and more. The game has moved on.

    The Wizard of Oz has given them all diplomas and they think they're 'educated', when what they really have is 'beliefs'.

    Why are you having such a hard time with this. They don't "have to" agree, I am simply stating the fact that they DID agree.

    Learn the difference. Presidents can write EOs and they can declare national emergencies, but no president has ever done what Trump did by defying something the Congress specifically ruled against. Your "but Obama" argument blew up in your face because DACA was challenged in the courts, and it was found to be constitutional. Trumps power/money-grab is not going to survive.

    Few facts:

    1. Vast majority if drugs are brought in through legals ports of entry. Wall has no effect.
    2. The wall design allows drugs to be passed through the slats in the wall.

    What about the other drugs, the 10-20% coming over the southern border, as well as the human trafficking. Should that be ignored because they're coming in anyway?

    You have no idea how the fence/wall works. The border agents want it that way,

    How is it "unfettered"?

    It's not like there's zero enforcement, and border crossings are at a 40 year low, correct?
