150 million illegals and 1,000 Americans raped and or killed by them each day?
We are $22 trillion in debt, our healthcare system is a joke, public education is failing, our middle class can’t save a penny and get ahead, wages are stagnant, Veterans sleeping, pissing, shitting and dying in our streets, rediculously high taxes for America’s Best...etc etc
Let’s be honest, you Lefties would never declare the invasion of tens of millions of thirdworlders a national emergency regardless of the numbers...right?
I am no democrat,and certainly not a snowflake liberal. However nor am I a Republican. I am a conservative with no political affiliation. So I have some freedom of objectivity.
An emergency in my view is something that is both unexpected an urgent.
This situation does not fill either of those requirements. The invasion from the South has been going on for years, so it is hardly unexpected. Further, why now, after all these years, is it suddenly urgent? What makes each day now so much more crucial than the previous?
Sorry Republicans, Trump is playing pure politics here, and there will be a day of reconciliation for this.

An emergency could be something unexpected and urgent, but it could also be defined as circumstances demanding immediate action. The tens of thousands of migrants in caravans approaching our unwalled (in many places wide open) border do constitute a circumstance that demands immediate action.
Frankly, the caravans could also be defined as unexpected and urgent, too. Before they recently arose, did anybody really expect them ? I didn't hear anybody talking about caravans of tens of thousands of people, until it all started happening.
It most certainly is urgent, because if something isn't done quick, then very soon we will have tens of thousands of people illegally storming across our border, bringing all the harms to Americans that they do.
First, something urgent is generally also something that needs immediate action. You’re saying the same thing with different words.
Second, the wall will take years to build, and therefore doesn’t address the “urgency” of a caravan of thousand of illegals marching towards the border. They will be here long before the wall is built.
Look, I want the southern border secured. I don’t want illegals coming into this country. But I do welcome foreigners to come here to work, embrace the spirit of the greatest country on earth, and have a defined path toward citizenship.
The day will come, if Trump goes through with building the wall via the “National Emergency” ploy, when democrats will play the same card to advance one of their causes, and it will be a can of worms opened by Trump. He’s over reaching and it’s bad politics.
The issue has always been one urgent in nature...nobody has had the balls to treat it as such as acknowledgement would prompt resolution and nobody has wanted the problem solved. Establishment whores prefer to do what they’ve always done and never deviate from status quo.
Contrary to your opinion, those before Trump were actually “playing politics” by not addressing the epidemic. Trump is simply committed to delivering on his promise to America’s Best....it’s weird and hard to believe you’ve dubbed that as “playing politics”.
