“Sen. Rand Paul reportedly announced that he won’t support President Trump declaring a national emergency at the southern border — appearing to push the U.S. Senate toward rejecting the move.”

”More than 76,000 migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization in February, breaking records for the fourth time in five months. Border enforcement authorities warned Tuesday that the border is hitting a breaking point: Government facilities are full and agents are overwhelmed. The numbers from February are more than double than levels from the same period last year. “The system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point,” Kevin K. McAleenan, commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, told reporters.”
It is absolutely stunning that while our southern border is being invaded by tens of thousands of poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, disease carrying and criminal foreigners from Central America, and American citizens are suffering the devastating social and economic impact of such an invasion, we have Republican members in Congress who pretend there is no invasion and they refuse to assist our president in repelling said invasion.

It was February of 2019 when an ongoing invasion of America’s borders swelled to tens of thousands a month, not a shot was fired to defend the borders of the United States, and America’s domestic enemies, some socialists, communists and anarchists in Congress, pushed forward with their attempt to continue the invasion in hopes of conquering a prosperous and freedom loving people.
Or maybe we have a few Republican Senators who believe the briefings of the intelligence community… who have read the Constitution and care about it, or who took Trump at his word when he said he was acting to speed up something that was not necessary.
Did you miss that part of the Constitution which declares our federal government shall protect the United States against “invasions”?
JWK
President Trump, by the terms of our Constitution, is empowered “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions” .
Did you miss the lines in the dictionary the differentiate between invasion and immigration?
Are you saying the good people of Mexico are liars?

The evidence speaks for itself! Yes! It is an invasion.

Illegal immigration is now costing American citizens over $18 billion a year in healthcare costs alone, far more than the measly $5 billion asked for to build a wall! LINK
No. I am saying I trust the joint reporting of our intelligence agencies over people on Tucker Carlson’s televised fear and hate fest.
I mean, if Tucker Carlson found one person in Tijuana who used the word “invasion” it’s got to be true. Tell you what, I’ll go to Tijuana and find one person who says “climate change is real”.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade America’s borders to give birth.
People “invade” my personal space on the subway. I don’t declare a national emergency to build a wall. You are playing semantic games to extend the discussion. If you want to have a dialogue, explain why people should discount the Joint Intelligence Analysis on whether the southern border is an emergency.
The also stated that North Korea was continuing its nuclear program full out; another assertion President Trump disagreed with. The intelligence assessment was correct.

And as @Safiel correctly pointed out, the founders very much intended that Congress would be supreme among the three branches.
This is not about walls, or about Trump.
This is about proper Constitutional Governance.
It is my well considered view that Trump’s action is blatantly unconstitutional and shows a complete disregard for the rule of law. I also believe that the courts will quickly put an end to it, up to and including the Supreme Court.
But again, turning away from walls and Trump in particular.
The three branches of government were never intended to be equal in power. While each is intended to have checks…

We are not talking about your personal space on the subway. We are talking about tens of thousands of foreigners flooding across our border each month and the devastating social and economic impact it is having upon American citizens. We are talking about the general welfare of the United States being adversely affected by this invasion. And we are talking about our federal government commanded by our Constitution to protect the United States against “invasions”.

And as @Safiel correctly pointed out, the founders very much intended that Congress would be supreme among the three branches.The "national emergency" in the context of Constitutional Governance
Safiel ought to read the law. He may then come to the appropriate conclusion.
The President is already authorized by Congress to reassign certain funds during a declared emergency.
see: 10 U.S. Code 2808 . and 33 U.S. Code 2293

There is no surer way to weaken, subdue, demoralize and then conquer a prosperous and freedom loving people than by allowing and encouraging the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low-skilled, criminal and diseased populations of other countries to invade that country, and make the country’s existing citizens tax-slaves to support the economic needs of such invaders.
I see you chopped off the remainder of my post.
Are you in support of our military to start shooting the invaders and start carpet bombing those countries participating in the invasion?
I can’t wait till the first shot is taken, and one of these “invaders” is shot while their 8 year old child watches. It will seal the fate for this whole invasion angle.
You provided all those definitions of invasion. You should be flattered that I used one.

So these refugees are armed?
Thats a whole lot of revisionism to cloud the facts.
Its really as simple as if the gop really wanted to do what they campaigned on and said they qere going to do they could have done so using senate procedures but did not do so.
I dont really need to go any more in depth than that. Its as simple and clear cut as that. The GOPs lack of gumption to play the cards the way they qere dealt in the past us exactly why they are getting played today.
Now in two years they get the chance to lose another house and make them absolete for another 2 years is on them.
Far as im concerned, let them try this gambit with the executive. Next time around they wont have Reid to blame for then escalation. And im also quite sure the dems can take advantage of a situation like this far better than the GOP canx theyve already proven that, at the expense of 1 SCOTUS seat who isnt in any way guaranted to do what you think he will given Thomas can beat him like a mule into compliance.
You have a lot to learn.
I would have loved that duty. Marines always want to make a difference for my country.

Ok. Just stop.
Yeah, i laughed when i read that post too.
How come whenever I see a sensational thread title bolstering a Trump assertion, it’s always from a ■■■■■■■■ source?
I guess when you get all your info from dubious sources, you’re bound to be completely separated from reality.
With the internet the way it is, I’m not sure we’ll ever solve this problem. Thankfully, at least 2/3 of the nation still has their collective heads breathing oxygen, while the remaining third—yes, THAT third—continue to wallow in the mudpit of lies and conspiracy.

Great point. Why isn’t Trump calling for the draft? If it’s really a national emergency, shouldn’t he be drafting soldiers?
Sorry. The little boy already cried wolf too many times.
I’m sure there are Americans who fantasize about our military standing at the border, mowing down illegals like a scene from Walking Dead where Darryl Dixon is mowing down a horde of zombies.
And you should observe that our founders used the all encompassing “invasion” and “invasions” as opposed to a limited one such as “armed invasion”.
