A Green Light on the Border Wall as Trump’s Supreme Court Victories Mount

the only thing Trump cares about is covering his ass

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

"The Trump administration can't use money that Congress appropriated for military projects to build the wall, the appeals court ruled.


The Trump administration does not have the authority to use military funding to pay for construction of a border wall, a federal appeals court panel ruled on Friday.

In a 2-1 ruling, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found that diverting $2.5 billion Congress had appropriated for the military violated the Constitution and is unlawful.

The executive branch "lacked independent constitutional authority to authorize the transfer of funds," the ruling said. "These funds were appropriated for other purposes, and the transfer amounted to 'drawing funds from the Treasury without authorization by statute and thus violating the Appropriations Clause.' Therefore, the transfer of funds here was unlawful."

The decision upheld a ruling by a federal judge in California who last year found that the Trump administration's funding scheme was against the law. A coalition of states led by California had filed suit to block the move." [Emphasis added] ~~ Appeals court rules funding for Trump border wall construction 'unlawful' ~~

The Orange Clown looses another one, the bloody crook. It's the job of Congress to appropriate funding, not the fucking Clown-in-Chief!

Alright then let's do it another way. We have warehouses full of 50 caliber Browning Machine Guns. We take those guns and mount them every 200 yards along the border with 2 in our military manning each one.... We save money on our military, save money on the wall. Plus we end the invasion in 2 days. It's a win, win, win.

The problem is they can't go killing people simply because they are trying to enter the country. My plan is better:

Congress pass law that anybody in the US illegally will face a 5 year minimum prison sentence if and when caught. I stress the term "minimum" as a judge can sentence a person up to 15 years. We will give the illegals until August 1st to be the hell out of this country.

Not only would that threat stop many from coming here, it would promote self-deportation. Our border would be flooded, only this time, with people trying to get the hell out of here.

It will not only work for the problems on our southern border, but from people who deliberately overstay their expired Visa's, and virtually eliminate Birther Tourism, which is a severe threat to this country.

The solution is simple. The hard part is getting anybody (left or right) with enough balls to actually do this for the country.

A wall was authorized 3 decades ago, you leftist traitor! Just no administration ever built much. If any did, it was Bubba Clinton. True story. It was authorized before Reagan left office. H.W. did basically nothing, Clinton did make an effort, then W. did not much as well. Obama didn't do a damn thing. Them's the facts, faggot.

Then Trump should get funding in the budget
Stealing from the military is not a solution

Better yet, pass a law that anybody hiring and profiting off of illegal labor will face a 5 year minimum prison sentence. I stress minimum.

The jobs will dry up overnight and the illegals will just go home.

Look here, dipshit. The money was allocated and raided 3x way b4 Trump. Make Congress put back the money that was raided and there's plenty.
Preferably out of their own pockets. (Chyeah, right!)
The money has been there 3x over and politicians stole it.

Bullshit
Only Congress can allocate funding. If the military doesn’t need it, they can turn it back in. They cannot redirect it to other agencies

Trump and the Republicans are the one that got the military all that money to begin with. Trump didn't shutdown the government, the commies did over that border wall. He only wanted a few billion, but to Democrats, illegals are way more important than Americans, hence my signature.

Hitler would be so proud of you. Lock up the American owner of company for the rest of his life over filthy foreigners who come here for all kinds of reasons--not just jobs.

My idea would work--your idea wouldn't, because you can't prove a business owner knew he was hiring an illegal. It's almost impossible to prove, especially since identity theft and sales is an industry here and over the border.

[OldLady]

The Supreme Court has already ruled that he can.

Yeah. I thought we'd already been through this all.

In 2019, the Supreme Court granted a stay while the cases wound through the courts. The government only had until September to finalize the contracts. The SC saw that as a "harm." So they stayed the lower court's decision; the government finalized the contracts, took the funds and began construction. The SC has not heard the case(s). This decision that it is unconstitutional will no doubt be appealed there. I agree with the 9th circuit on this one; declaring the southern border a "national emergency" was a misuse of that legislation. It was a clear violation of the Appropriations Act.

But you don't have to lecture me on how important it was to stem the tide of asylum seekers and illegals trying to enter the country. I've heard your arguments before.
