President Trump has announced that he could declare a state of emergency on the border in order to build the wall without Congress. Breitbart reports:
President Donald Trump said he was willing to declare a state of emergency on Friday, in order to build a wall on the Southern border.
“Absolutely, we can call a national emergency,” Trump said when asked about the idea by a reporter. “I haven’t done it. I may do it. I may do it.”
The president spoke to reporters in the Rose Garden on Friday at the White House after meeting with Congressional leaders for more than two hours to try to make a deal.Trump confirmed that he said that he was willing to keep the government shut down for up to a year, if necessary, if Democrats refused to make a deal on border security funding.
“I did say that, absolutely I said that,” he said. “I don’t think it will but I am prepared and I think that I can speak for Republicans in the House and Republicans in the Senate they feel very strongly about having a safe country.”
This would be an unusual way to build the wall, but the threat of its use could put pressure on Democrats to agree to fund border security.
DO IT….ENOUGH OF THIS STANDOFF AND EOPLE OUT OF PAYCHECKS….
GO FOR IT… ENOLUGH OF THIS STANDOFF, PEOPLE OUT OF PAYCKECKS.
DO IT NOW !!!!!
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE SO FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN NOT KEEPING OUR BORDER SECURE AND KEEPING ILLEGALS OUT.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE WALLS OR OTHER SECURITY ELIMINATED FROM DEMOCRAT HOMES AND BUSINESSES. LET’S START WITH THEM ALLOWING PEOPLE TO INVADE THEIR PRIVATE RESIDENCES WITH NO CONSEQUENCES.
Plus that wounded vet’s page where he’s raised at least $2 million to help build it. The Dims have said they’re willing to fund border security, but NOT a wall. So, I wish he WOULD declare a nationl state of emergency, & build it. That’d shut Pelosi AND Schumer up. Plus when the House has a bill they need to pass, badly, I guarantee President Trump will veto every bill that originates in the House & lets see who cries first. I guarantee it WON’T be Donald J Trump! He’s got some backbone, & he’s not a wuss like the previous illegitimate president.
We have been in a state of emergency since 1933 and each president has quietly renewed it…..this is the source of “executive orders”. Obama did it constantly!!!
Yes, lets build the wall and put the Democrats on the other side of it.
Build the damned wall for Gods sake. The American people voted for it and demand controlled borders. Screw the liberals with their open borders BS . Time to take back America from theses anti American no good bastards, ENOUGH of this namby pambyu done deal and under construction by now but 2 years have been wasted with the arguments between the GOP and the anti American liberals!
The open border crowd has had their way since the 80’s which has resulted in 22 million illegals. I say, “you had your way, now it’s our turn”.
What a Brilliant idea.! They (the DemonRats) Created and founded the Caravan, it is their creation so they scud join them, and since they hate the USA so much, let them stay south of the border.
I agree a million percent if doing
the NUCLEAR is only way to have
the WALL then do it.???
As a standing member of the Minuteman Movement I say lets do what ever is necessary to protect our Country before we no longer have a Country to call the United States of America. Semper fi
Whatever it takes to get it done, our safety and security are more important than the BS the Democrats are proposing. Instead of a one world government, we should have a one-party nation. The number one recommendation would be for the people to have a lot of common sense and pride for their nation.
To hell with all Democrats in Wash. DC. Build the Wall, and buy more Ammo.

It’s not commonly known but we have been in a state of emergency since 1933 and each president has quietly renewed it…this is the source of executive power and ability for a sitting president to make executive orders. Obama did it constantly for all
kinds of destructive legislation and the democrats loved it….but when Trump does it some judge frequently blocks it. I would love to see Trump clean house, the swamp, the media, all traitors,illegal aliens, drug cartels, organized crime, DC the WORKS!
I said it before and I will say it today. Put a note on the tax return like the one for one dollar for the Congressional parties. A lot of people say yes to that one. I never thought congress would ever let him have a cent for the wall. Maybe if he would call it a barrier instead of a wall they would go for it? maybe.
IT’D SURE DOWNSIZE THE GOVERNMENT — AND PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.
We absolutely need border security ( A wall) to help deal with the ongoing INVASION of this country by foreign nationals including terrorists! Why won’t the Socialist / Democrats join in protecting this country and its citizens? They act like the enemy. Hmmm! Maybe I hit a sensitive chord there!
Is there an emergency here? Sure is and it’s been going on since the betrayal of 1986 when the democrats agreed that, that would be THE LAST AMNESTY and then obstructed every move to enforce the law which, by the way, was written by members from BOTH SIDES of the aisle!
Time for our REAL PRESIDENT to take any and all necessary actions to protect the country and its citizens! BUILD THE WALL!
MAGA!
GREAT REPLY Tex Rancher. Sick of all of this ignorant bullshit from the DEMONRATS. It is clear that they are not true American citizens and only care about themselves in their gated communities. The DEMONRATS have been against everything Donald Trump has tried to do to protect our country against this very serious invasion. The caravan illegal aliens are our entering our borders any possible way they can ILLEGALLY. This cannot be allowed and is a very serious threat against our citizens as well as to our country. We cannot afford to support these people. BUILD THE GD WALL NOW. The Demonrats are so selfish and despicable going against the laws of our land. They are NOT looking out for the good of the American citizens, just themselves so they think they can get their votes, even illegally.
With the events of the past few months, HOW COULD ANYONE BELIEVE (OR SAY) WE DON’T NEED MORE BORDER SECURITY????? Personally, I’m sick and tired of all this political skulduggery. Forget politics people — let’s build the wall/fence/whatever and UPDATE our antiquated immigration laws. The AMERICAN PEOPLE deserve BETTER!!
If we are to be serious, then lets’ have every American Patriot donate to build a wall. It can be anything from a dollar to whatever one can afford to establish out security. If a million of us donate a dollar, look at the result! This donation has to be earmarked for building a wall barrier and nothing else! Keep the democrats from making the US a third world country. We CAN SAVE the US if we really care. And yes, make the Republicans responsible for renewing our Immigration Laws. The actual Law is there but it is not carried out properly so something has to happen to make sure we are not having to go thru such a debacle again. God Bless all who want to keep our freedom and liberty exist forever!
What ever it takes to get the wall built….”LET’S DO IT”….we need to keep the illegals, the drugs and the criminals out of this country or we’ll end-up like the countries the illegals came from, we will no longer be a free nation….only another “SHIT HOLE COUNTRY” and I don’t want that to happen ! ! ! ! !
The Democrats continue to prove they don’t care about America and are willing to let criminal illegals roam the country. We need a wall to keep them out.
I would like to see the text of the relevant US Code Titles and Sections authorizing this to be better informed. These articles seldom provide that.
ARTICLE 2 THE PRESIDENT IS THE ALTIMATE LEADER OF THE FREEWORLD AN CAN RULE AS NESASRY IN A NATIONAL EMERGENCY. NO JUDGE CAN STOP IT
