Of course it's a national emergency and democrats just a few years ago were all for a wall and fixing this problem. However, they lost the Presidency in a major upset and they're angry at the American people so we are being punished. That's how small and treacherous the democrat party has become.I would think any logical person would deem the flood of Illegal Aliens who contain criminals, potential terrorists, and those that want to scam the system (steal) IS a National Emergency. Glad Trump has the b*lls to see that.
It takes a joint resolution of congress to end an emergency declaration. The Senate would not approve that resolution, so Trump would have his emergency. The courts don't have a legal basis to stop Trump if a remedy exists. That would take an activist court, which would lose on appeal. Trump can also find the money, including using seized drug money.
Donald Trump can fund the border wall without congressional approval
Afraid not, and his declared emergency does not allow the arbitrary confiscation of private property to build anything. which would be taken up by the courts, and with the burden of proof being on Trump, would have to successfully prove the case the property would need to be forfeited.
There is never going to be a Trump wall. Except for the one he will be incarcerated behind.
Eminent domain dumbass! Eminent domain.
You should really take the time to read the article you posted. ..
The only thing the court can do (legally) is decide whether he used proper procedure or not. If he does (and I"m sure his team will) they really can't stop Trump because there is no definition of a national emergency--only procedural processes.
You said it, so it MUST be true then
Seems the courts don't care about "legally" anymore. They only care about Political Agenda.
If they always followed the law, would we really be having all these problems?
I think Ray's biggest problem is that he has not yet realized who Trump really is....A New York DEMOCRAT....working primarily for the Establishment.
And possibly the greatest Reality TV actor of all time. "It's gonna be a beautiful wall....beautiful I tell ya".
It's not what I say that matters.
Does a president have legal authority to declare a national emergency?
Yes. A relevant law is the National Emergencies Act of 1976.
The act itself did not give a legal definition for a national emergency, nor did it set specific criteria for declaring one. Rather, it created procedural requirements.
It requires a president to formally submit to Congress and to the Federal Register a declaration of the national emergency; to specify the statutory authorities he or she is invoking; and to renew the declaration every year, or it will automatically expire.
"Even though the Constitution itself grants the president very little in the way of emergency authority, Congress has ceded broad powers to the president that he can invoke merely by claiming that an emergency exists," said Gene Healy, a vice president at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank.
Could Trump declare a national emergency for a border wall?
You should really take the time to read the article you posted. ..
It basically backs the President's right to declare a National Emergency and build the Wall, and that congress and the courts can't do jack to stop it. ...
If you think people are hurting by the shutdown just wait until Trump does not get his wall and caravans after caravans enter the US and how much your taxes are going to go up to support them. Anchor babies, mentally and physically disabled, education and ESL classes, and many who will commit crimes and incarcerated at the cost to American taxpayers. What is $5 billion compared to what illegal immigration is already costing taxpayers and $billions more if the borders are not secured? September 2017 report that the federal, state and local costs of more than 12.5 million people in the United States illegally was around $135 billion a year. (up from $113 billion in 2013). WTF are the Democrats drinking. Just wait until Trump grabs Ms. Prissy by you know what.
Actually there has been an emergency for several years now, except nobody wanted to acknowledge it. Just ask any Angel family. Trump wanted to get this matter settled last month, it was by force he reopen the government and show restraint.
Calling someone a basket dweller is racist. ...uh - no it doesn't. what it did say was that historically, courts don't usually go against a president's decision to do it - but it does NOT say what you claim. why do you hafta lie? oh, because you are a basket dweller... that's why.

Anyway, take off your liberal loon glasses and read the article you posted.
It doesn't help your argument. ....
Please explain what makes her a white supremacist...YES. It has been a humanitarian crisis and a national security crisis with the caravans here and those on the way. We cannot handle that many people and with this, some that will enter will do us harm. Not prepared to vet and process effectively that many people. Most of those in the caravans that entered were released never to be seen again. Also, create a financial crisis and if nothing is done on the border it will be a nightmare we can never fix and recover from because they will keep coming with nothing to stop them. Democrats are an evil entity and a danger to America
There is no basis for a national emergency. White supremacists like you are a evil entity and a danger to America.
You think 2000 crossings a day is acceptable?In 21 days President Donald Trump is moving forward building the wall with or without the Democrats
The only outstanding question is whether the Democrats want something or nothing
In 21 days, if someone with a lick of sense doesn't talk him out of it, he'll try to pull this nonsense, but then the courts will slap him down because this is in no way, shape or form an "emergency".
But he'll tell you knuckle-draggers he tried to keep the scary brown people out and you'll love him for it.
A leftist supporting greedy big business. Cool.Then eliminate spanish language channels on cable TV.
Why? Here's the thing... the reason why we have Spanish Language channels is because big American companies have decided that they can sell their products to an audience if they just dub a commercial in Spanish.

he had 2 years to do it. that will be taken into account.

& it goes on to say it will go to the federal courts.
trump underestimated the speaker. oh - & he is a business man who had several business' go bankrupt - including casinos, that by their very nature, are designed to be a very easy profit making venue.

There is no express wall building power in our federal Constitution. Government should never be shut down over any implied powers.I think it will happen because democrats hate american values
there is no express wall building power and we have no immigration clause.The President can both Constitutionally and legally declare a National Emergency, and the courts can't stop him from building the Wall. ...And the Courts will slap him down when he tries it, assuming someone in the Justice Department doesn't talk some sense into him before he tries it.
