Trump To Declare National Emergency At The Border

Mitch McConnell has said that President Trump will declare a state of emergency at the border, even though he will also sign the border deal to avoid a government shutdown. The Daily Wire reports:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that President Donald Trump will sign a spending bill to avoid another government shutdown and is declaring a national emergency to secure the funds needed to build the border wall.

“He’s prepared to sign the bill, he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time,” McConnell said.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement: “President Trump will sign the government funding bill, and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action – including a national emergency – to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border. The President is once again delivering on his promise to build the wall, protect the border, and secure our great country.”

“If Trump follows through, lawmakers and the White House would dodge their second partial shutdown since December, sparing about 800,000 federal workers from more financial pain,” CNBC reported. “But the emergency declaration would quickly spark lawsuits challenging the president’s authority, creating yet another fight over his key campaign promise.”

The state of emergency could be a win for Trump, who will have a freer hand to secure the border as needed, but the signed bill itself could harm needed measures to deport illegal aliens.

Congratulations, President Trump , on declaring national emergency. If the left file lawsuits over it, then counter-sue them for filing frivolous lawsuits and trying to usurp the executive authority.

Look forward to your lowering the boom on the Democrats and the Communist party agenda infiltrating that jackass party.

I agree, thanks Mr President for putting the security of our nation before the petty politics of the non thinking liberals. Regardless what the media and the liberals think, it is the only way left for you to go. Stand tall, and go after all who oppose your decision.

I would also look at expiring funds for securing the border wall/barrier…. it might be something the Democrats would agree upon as the current border wall/fence made of wood is cracking and beginning to break down… if not declare sate of emergency….. I’m tired of Puerto Rico claiming they didn’t get their disaster money… they did… where did it go……

Use the seized assets of El Chapo, that will be the way Mexico will pay for the wall! Promise made, promise kept!

Way to go and I made this suggestion for some time now. He is in US custody for the remainder of his life to have his teeth pulled and confiscate all his assets, estimated to reach the $ 15 billion mark enough to pay for the total border security with Mexico and for the US Treasury to retrieve all the unaccounted for US dollars to be used for reducing the US debt!

Explore the effort by 2 Texas Legislators to provide $2.5B from Texas funds to build more wall fence in Texas! Control Atty Gen. Barr from inflicting us with any gun control law nonsense! Fill the vacant federal 9th Circuit Court seats with Conservative Constitutionalist Originalists!!! Keep more such appointments coming!!! Stay Strong!!! We support you.
