President Donald Trump

[nots]

Point is Trump feels facts put out by govt agencies is false, and he openly disregards them, over clearly wrong info. Such as what fact? Such as people crossing border illegally commit crimes at a lower rate. You could then draw unrelated conclusions, such as well then any crime they commit is adding to rate. The point is this isnt an emergency, as admitted by Trump, and he believes nonsense from Limbaugh and Fox over facts put out by government.

NEarly every one of your blue team Senators voted to increase a physical border in 2008. The only reason they are against now is because it was the cornerstone of Trump’s platform.

From my signature line:
It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Here is Obama in 2014:

Funny part here is Schumer smiling wide to get this done -- NOW there is no way we can do this.

The honest truth here is that if there was anyone ANYONE other than Trump being President the Dems would make more concessions and this would get done. I want to be very clear here -
BOTH PARTIES have been playing kick the can on this issue for over 2 decades - see the date of the Clinton quote.

It is absolutely unacceptable that BOTH PARTIES have done this and just pointed at each other while it happened! Trump for all of his bluster and bullshit is trying to address something BOTH PARTIES have indicated need addressing. This has been Bi-Partisan Bullshit for more than 20 years - to allow a broken system to remain in place and we should be holding these idiots accountable for their inaction and that we are at the point we are at now.

If we are honestly saying "there is no emergency" now - but have had this topic mentioned during multiple State of the Union addresses and other Presidential Speeches for over 20 years - hmmmmmm maybe there is something going on that needs to be addressed.

The Partisanship of the masses grows more and more every day - such a great thing for the fundraisers of the parties.

If I am reading reports correctly, this will be the 59th emergency since the law was enacted. Not exactly virgin ground.

Now that's Trump. But, he should be telling it past tense, on a golf course.

Exactly. If Manafort is the big news at this late date, they're desperate.

On the other side of things, Andrew McCabe, already under criminal investigation for a long list of lies, has a new book out.

Show me ONE that spent $10Bn dollars. Or really, anything close to that. Do you even bother anymore, or do you just regurgitate the nonsense you hear on alt-right radio? The list of other national emergencies all pretty much dealt with blocking or prohibiting another country from doing transactions in the US, OR, were a legit national emergency like 9/11 or the influenza outbreak. Open your eyes, J. Your act is tiresome.

The scale lends credence to the claim of emergency. Your comment, "The list of other national emergencies all pretty much dealt with blocking or prohibiting another country from doing transactions" is exactly the point, or did you miss that?

Open your eyes. This is easy stuff if you are not refusing to see.

Huh?

Those prior emergency declarations were when the crisis reached emergency levels. Please show me, on this chart of Border Apprehensions, when the emergency occurred:

So awesome to have a president more concerned with Saturday Night Live than Russia:
