A national emergency?
Why, because a few Mexicans are trying to sneak into our country?
I’d hate to see what St Trumpy would do if there was a REAL emergency.
Tens of thousands of innocent Americans get killed every year by illegal aliens via manslaughter up to murder one.
Most of our drugs come into this country over the Southern border, and most of that through our regular entry ports along that border. But if the Customs folks are particularly vigilant at that time, it only means they enter elsewhere, like putting it in back packs for kids to carry over the border with them.
We need to seal off the border from pedestrians and vehicles except at the ports of entry where we can more carefully screen traffic and then we might dent some of the drug trade.
But the elites in DC dont care how many tens of thousands of Americans die because it is future voters/illegal voters for Dimocrats and cheap labor for the GOP Donor Class.
As far as those idiots are concerned we can all die of starvation and it means nothing to them if they can keep getting elected.
