Trump to declare national emergency

[JGalt]

Many of us across the country have been calling the border problem a national crisis for decades. Trump listened and THAT is what got him elected. He is the first to take it anything close to as serious as we do.

This, in my opinion, is sure to secure his reelection.

What you said was the one and only one reason the Democrats don't want this wall. They are more afraid of his reelection than they are of murderers, human traffickers, sex offenders, and drug dealers coming across the border.

Not looking too good for the Democrats in 2020.

That stuff has been dropping and is at lowest level in decades. Most of those crimes are home grown anyway.

Irrelevant. The National Emergency has been declared, the wall will be finished.

No border wall. Border security!

Obama's own hand-picked Director of the Border Patrol already came out to say Trump is right, there is no reason not to build a wall, and that walls are part of Border Security that should be used together.

Except what was declared is unconstitutional and against the law. It's not going to happen.

The wall was never actually started. We've had fencing that illegals can already cross if they wanted to before Trump was ever president.

Via the 9th Circuit Court....as expected. Trump is patient because he has money to start building a wall.
He even stated today that he expected a favorable decision in the US Supreme Court.

President Trump is trying to build the wall as a military construction project, which is specifically allowed in the US code:

10 U.S. Code § 2808 - Construction authority in the event of a declaration of war or national emergency

10 U.S. Code § 2808 - Construction authority in the event of a declaration of war or national emergency

(a)In the event of a declaration of war or the declaration by the President of a national emergency in accordance with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) that requires use of the armed forces, the Secretary of Defense, without regard to any other provision of law, may undertake military construction projects, and may authorize the Secretaries of the military departments to undertake military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces. Such projects may be undertaken only within the total amount of funds that have been appropriated for military construction, including funds appropriated for family housing, that have not been obligated.
(b)
When a decision is made to undertake military construction projects authorized by this section, the Secretary of Defense shall notify, in an electronic medium pursuant to section 480 of this title, the appropriate committees of Congress of the decision and of the estimated cost of the construction projects, including the cost of any real estate action pertaining to those construction projects.

Lol! There is no national emergency.

It's 100% unconstitutional and Trump's court knows that. It will be struck down.

Great News!

Trump may have $21 billion in military funds available for the wall - Hot Air

 

[OldLady]

what if that planet with the giant insects decided to fly here and take out the USA? would the Dems block the decision to fight them?

obama declared a national emergency 13 times while in office

Yes, during the Ebola outbreak, Hurricane Sandy, similar natural disasters and you know, ACTUAL emergencies, when the states or the regions needed government resources for which no allocations had been made. The way an Emergency Declaration is SUPPOSED to be used.

What Obama didn't do was to declare a national emergency as an end around because he lost a political fight. The Constitution is VERY clear that the power of the purse resides in the House, and if the people refuse to find your program, as President, you cannot use an emergency declaration as an end-around to the Constitution.

Today, on national television, a dejected, defeated, and defiant Donald Trump told America that there is no national emergency but he's doing to declare one anyway to get his wall built. This is an admission that the is declaring this emergency for political reasons, and nothing else. All Dems need to do is to walk into the Supreme Court, play that clip, and even the SC will rule against him.

No, Dragon Lady. I assumed that, too, and I'm sure many of them were natural disasters, but he did declare 13 national emergencies, many which were against foreign countries in order to place sanctions or stop any US financial interactions.

Yes, but he did NOT do it because Congress refused his funding requests.

I get that. You are always so accurate, I just wanted you to know.

Wow!!!!!! Where did you get your law degree, kitty?
You act like he's the first president to invoke a National Emergency.
Now run along to your kitty box, because you're full of it.

 

[GreenBean]

Yet the constitution allows the president to call for a national emergency, go figure

Right, when there is an emergency. Why was there no emergency over the last two years but there is now?

It has been an 'Emergency' for a very long time now - Trump is the first one with the balls to take a stand.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Illegal immigrants cost this country billions of dollars annually, and the costs of maintaining proper surveillance of our border using just manpower, alone, is enormous.

Building a wall is just too logical for some people, I guess, as the initial expenditure would be recouped in savings in a very short while.

All the bullshit aside, those who oppose the wall WANT continued high levels of illegal immigration. This has nothing to do with humanitarianism, nothing to do with racism and nothing to do with principles of any kind. It is simply the desire to continue the flood of illegal aliens into our country to serve their own political ends.

If you learned that your first sentence here was incorrect and that undocumented immigrants represent a net positive for our economy, would
you have a different opinion regarding this issue?

Great news (sarcasm)
The money, which would be taken from construction projects such as hospitals, family housing, and maintenance, would not be replenished until Congress passes another defense appropriations bill, the aides said. This could leave critical infrastructure improvements in limbo…

And what if the dems in the House refuse to appropriate further funds for military construction without the gop senate clawing back ... or perhaps more likely what if the dem House simply refuses to essentially reauthorize spending in certain red states unless the senate expressly passes legislation denying any power for Trump to get at it?

What emergency, and what Constitutional authority? Article 1 Section 9 says he doesn't have the authority. Invoking a "NE" is an emergency. El Paso is doing just fine without wall according to the authorities down there. What "NE?"

 

[OldLady]

In 1976 with the drafting of the update of the National Emergency statute in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and Nixon's attempt to absorb extraordinary Presidential powers, new termination laws were codified to allow Congress to reclaim their Article 1 powers assumed by the president ceded by Congress.

50 USC § 1622 contains those specifics which include termination of a Presidential declaration of a National Emergency through a nullification process if both Chambers concur with a SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE in both houses. If one Chamber votes to terminate, the other house is required to vote, and NO FILIBUSTER for the Senate.

The Speaker of the House will likely prepare the Joint Resolution soonest, and McConnell has no damn choice but to hold a vote in the Senate per the requirements of the Statute. If the Resolution gets to the Senate, it likely will have enough GOP Senators crossing the line easily. If McConnell gets smart of a sudden, he'll turn his caucus loose to vote on their own.

~~ 50 U.S. Code § 1622 - National emergencies ~~

Senator Collins already came out yesterday saying it was a mistake. She won't be the only one. Everyone who disagrees with the national emergency declaration are warning about equal hijinx by the Democrats, once one is Pres again.

Trump declares national emergency to "unlock" $8 billion for his border wall
Thompson had discovered that Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend, Riley Roberts, is now listed as staff in the House directory and tweeted “while you were having a nice Valentine’s Day, @AOC decided to put her boyfriend on staff – drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly.”





Oh yes who didn't get their wall bitches. LOL Now what kind off stunt will the democratic idiots pull to hault this , stop it, etc, etc. You know these foaming at the mouth rabid dogs will be on a war path now.

/----/ Did you know:
The United States is in a state of emergency - 30 of them, in ...
Nov 19, 2014 · The United States has been in an uninterrupted state of national emergency since 1979. Here in 2014, we're not dealing with just one emergency - there are currently 30 of them in effect.

Already destroyed leftists baloney HERE

FDR abused it, which is a major reason why the 1976 NEA was passed, to add the necessary check and balance to it, Trump isn't violating a single darn thing!

They'll declare gun violence a national emergency. They'll declare climate change a national emergency, which it is. They'll declare a barrier to be a NE, and tear it down.
