Mr. President They Are Going to Impeach You Anyway So...

The national emergency option looks very strong at this point since it would take a joint resolution of congress to end the emergency. If any activist judges try to stop the wall, appeals should prevail, since a joint resolution is the proper way to end the emergency, not an activist court opinion. I also think that your impeachment comments are correct, the Senate will not remove Trump, so the Animal House can pound sand.
An emergency??? Where was it 2 years ago?? 18 months? 1 year ago ??? You republican fools wouldn't know an emergency if it hit you in the face
The caravans are a new threat, call it a new emergency. Similarly, the drug trafficking is getting worse. So we need "all of the available options" used to strengthen our southern border.
My brother was in the AF on the southern border as a radar operator and said that they could track the drug planes coming over but were not allowed to work with the DEA or law enforcement to interdict them. I hope the rules of engagement have been changed since then. Similarly, the cartels are now using hi-tech submarines to traffic drugs and humans. We need the navy or coast guard to stop those too. It is an emergency
90% or more of illegal drugs come in from legal ports of entry That's where we need more strength

That is incorrect, that "90% of drugs come in thru the POAs" That is the dem talking point, but the truth is "that is where we catch 90% of the drugs that we catch". No one really knows how much of the drug traffic comes in between POAs, or by airplane, or by submarine, or by other means.
kyzr Damn liars???
he data show that far more drugs are detected at ports of entry than between ports of entry. The Office of Field Operations, working at ports of entry, seized 4,813 pounds of heroin during the first 11 months of fiscal year 2018, through Aug. 31, 2018. During the same period, U.S. Border Patrol, which works between legal ports of entry, seized 532 pounds of heroin. CBP statistics from 2012 through 2017 show similar disparities between heroin seized at ports of entry and heroin seized between ports of entry. The data also show that fentanyl, another opioid, was seized at ports of entry at a higher rate than at points between ports of entry.

The Drug Enforcement Agency reports similar findings, noting in its 2018 National Drug Threat Assessment that "a small percentage of all heroin seized by CBP along the land border was between ports of entry."

The agency reports that most heroin flows into the nation through privately owned vehicles entering through legal ports of entry, followed by tractor-trailers, where the heroin is co-mingled with legal cargo. "Body carriers" account for a smaller percentage of heroin movement across the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the agency.

The agency said 85 percent of the fentanyl that came across the U.S.-Mexico border in 2017 entered through the San Diego port of entry.

Data and analysis from the drug enforcement and customs agencies have been used by the Congressional Research Service, Cato Institute, and Brookings Institution, among others, to explain the flow of drugs and recommend policy changes.

David Bier, an immigration analyst who writes about border security at the libertarian Cato Institute, said that by saying a "majority" of opioids come through ports of entry, Lowey had "understated the case."

"By weight, the average port inspector seized 8 times more cocaine, 17 times more fentanyl, 23 times more methamphetamine, and 36 times more heroin than the average Border Patrol agent seized at the physical border in early 2018," Bier wrote in an email.

"Given these trends, a border wall or more Border Patrol agents to stop drugs between ports of entry makes little sense," Bier wrote in a paper for Cato. The Cato Institute advocates for drug legalization.

A 2017 report by Vanda Felbab-Brown, who led the Brookings Institution’s project on global drug policy, used the same statistics and argued that a border wall would not affect the flow of drugs in the United States. Brookings is a public policy think tank that has fellows of different points of view.
Now you are worried about drugs?
 
The President needs to give immunity to Assange and Kim.com, have them testify in a public hearing under oath, and bury the COUP and the traitors who conceived it for ever. He also should order the independent and public examination of The DNC Server.

That will end the entire scam.
