    There was nothing there first. That is why the reporters constantly call it the new wall.

    They are not Liberals. A true liberal acts to protect this nation and constructs the wall. The way Obama did and the Democrats approved and called for walls.

    Repost because I made a mistake:

    It's Trump's wall not the vehicle barriers that Obama built along the border that keeps vehicles out of the USA but allowed hundreds of thousands to cross the border on foot.

    The wall will funnel the drug smugglers where the authorities will be waiting for them.

    With the Trump wall Americans will not see so many of these signs along I-8.

    You know that Obama declared 12 national emergencies while in office. Obama did a lot to try to push his executive powers. Now you only complain when Trump does it too.

    Somehow blocking assets of Iran and international criminals doesn't seem in the same league as taking billions from the military to build a monument.

    How about Obama directly violating the Constitution with DACA because congress wouldn't pass legislation on it?

    Wait, that was an emergency order? And why do Trump's attempts at ending DACA keep getting shot down by the courts if unconstitutional?
    The diverting of funds earmarked to protect our soldiers and make their lives better to build a monument is flat out wrong. We're not talking raising the debt to do it but actually taking funds from military construction projects.

    At least the NE is lawful as opposed to Obama's EO. The DACA issue is still in the courts.

    What Obama did was both lawful AND Constitutional.

    What your odious BLOTUS has done is use the Constitution to wipe his YUUUUGE orange ass!

    You mean after him claiming for a year and a half that he couldn't do it constitutionally? You calling Obama a liar?

    DACA has been ruled lawful and the supreme Court chose not to take it up yet. Not to mention by 70% of Americans support it. I wouldn't be the least surprised if Trump's action to build a monument gets shot down taking the law itself with it and the supreme Court let's the lower court ruling stand without a hearing.

    You are wrong. SCOTUS did not take up the WH request to go direct and bypass the ninth. It will have to work it's way through the ninth processes before it gets to SCOTUS.

    It's a fortification, so yes, it's military.
