The only "national emergency" that currently exists for Trump, is that he desperately needs to hold on to hls on to his moronic base.
Otherwise, the "emergency" to build a wall would have been declared TWO years ago.
The only way Trump holds on to his base is if the wall starts to get built, and not just 1.6 billion of it either.
National gun violence is a major problem. Much bigger than Trump's fear-mongering about more border wall.
The Democrats are just showing the world that they will fight for illegal aliens, gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers
".....and FOX news will be back after these commercials....."
IF "illegals" were the MOST pressing problem causing a "national emergency"
WHY WAS A WALL BUILT WHEN GOPers CONTROLLED EVERYTHING???
The House speaker warned Republicans about the precedent Trump could set by declaring a national emergency to secure border wall funding.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday warned about the dangerous precedent President Donald Trump could set if he declares a national emergency to secure funding for his border wall.
“I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say,” Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol. “Because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people.”
Pelosi said the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border doesn’t constitute an “emergency,” as Trump has framed it, but rather a “humanitarian challenge.”
“You want to talk about a national emergency?” Pelosi said. “Let’s talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. That’s a national emergency.”
Pelosi was referring to the Feb. 14, 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. She noted that a Democratic president could declare a national emergency on gun violence and warned Republicans to carefully consider the precedent Trump would set by using his executive power to override Congress.
“Democratic presidents can declare emergencies as well,” Pelosi said. “So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans.”

It may be a problem but not an emergency. Guns are protected by the Constitution as has already been pointed out.
Because you know as well as I do that they did NOT have a filibusterer proof majority. Having 1 more than the opposing party does not equal "having control" when liberals threaten to filibuster everything.
they were getting the funding the last two yearsThe Democrats are just showing the world that they will fight for illegal aliens, gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers

Rightwing bigots don’t care about the facts.Mexico has invaded.
The number of Mexican unauthorized immigrants has been declining since 2007,

You mean that Trump could NOT have declared a "national emergency" when he didn't have a filibuster-proof majority???..........REALLY ?............LOL
