Martial law.
Could he? Of course.
Will he? Of course not.
With great power (ctrl-c;ctrl-v) comes great responsibility.
I think Donald should assume emergency powers immediately.
I agree and President Pence this post.
Many people say that the United States last dealt with foreign invasions, and the United States has a draft to help deal with this threat. I think we should do the same thing now.
Pence will fall in line behind his president or be prosecuted as a traitor to the nation.
The president does not have to declare martial law to send troops to protect our southern border.
Stop fear mongering.

Havenât seen any libertarians post in this thread until me. Oh, you meant Republicans? Yeah, they did go on about that stuff for a while, but have they done so lately? I havenât heard a Republican say the words âsmall governmentâ in at least two years.
He already sent troops to the border. Youâre the one discussing declaring a state of emergency in order to invoke emergency executive powers.
And it is having devastating social and financial effects!
Let us take a look at the destructive social and economic consequences in just one county in California inflicted upon its citizens in 1995 when this massive invasion of our borders began to accelerate. CLICK HERE and scroll to page 93 for testimony given by JOAN ZINSER before the COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, DECEMBER 13, 1995
Good morning Chairman Smith and other honorable members of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims. I am Joan Zinser, Deputy Director of the San Diego County Department of Social Services. I direct the departmentâs Income Maintenance Bureau, which has responsibility for AFDC, Food Stamps and Medicaid eligibility determinations. I am here today to tell you about the effects of illegal immigration on the Countyâs assistance programs, and to present information regarding impacts on other county-funded services.
Impacts on San Diego County
In 1993, illegal aliens in San Diego County were estimated to be 7.9% of the population, or a total of almost 220,000 illegal aliens in a county with a population of slightly over 2 1/2 million. A 1993 Calffornia State Senate report estimated that the State, local governments - primarily the County - and schools incurred $304 million in costs to provide services to illegal aliens. These costs were offset by only $60 million in taxes generated by illegal aliens - leaving a net impact of $244 million.
Welfare Costs.
When a child is a US citizen, AFDC can be granted for the child but not the parent, if the parent is an undocumented immigrant. In 1992 there were 6,414 children born to undocumented immigrant parents in San Diego County hospitals. Each year, the illegal alien parents of nearly 2000 âcitizen childrenâ apply for and receive AFDC in San Diego County. The cumulative total of these âcitizen childâ cases continues to rise each year.
Public assistance is intended to support the citizen child, but is paid to the illegal alien parent and is, no doubt, used by the parent to support the entire family. Costs for providing AFDC to âcitizen childrenâ cases in San Diego totaled $37 million in 1993 for approximately 5430 AFDC cases.
Additional costs are incurred in Child Welfare Services. Combining costs for Out-of-Home and Family Maintenance services to families of illegal aliens results in an additional cost of $1.7 million.
Medicaid and Other Health-Related- Costs.
Medicaid services are an increasingly large portion of the costs involved in illegal immigration. In 1992, Medicaid paid for 6,414 births illegal alien mothers. Although studies have shown that illegal aliens use fewer Medicaid services than do the age-equivalent members of the general population, significant costs remain. Delivery costs are greater for babies with mothers lacking adequate prenatal care and many medical conditions are treated more cost-effectively in their early stages. Infectious diseases are also a major concern of the County. San Diego County has historically carried large costs because of illegal aliens with these problems. Costs associated with providing emergency and pregnancy related needs to illegal aliens are paid for under ârestricted Medi-Cal benefits.â During the 1992 calendar year, an estimated $37 million was paid for ârestricted Medi-Cal benefits.â Other costs, including uncompensated care in hospitals, community clinics, and other health services elevated the 1993 total costs to over $50 million.
Criminal justice.
A recent 90-day pilot project involved having INS Agents present in the county jails to interview those suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Approximately 20% of the persons booked into the jails during that pilot were identified as being illegal aliens. With annual bookings of approximatel 105,000 persons a year, it is estimated that up to 21,000 were illegal aliens.
According to the San Diego County District Attorney, 8,521 felony crimes were committed by illegal aliens between 1987 and 1992. Illegal aliens commit an estimated 22% of felony crimes committed in the county. The number of misdemeanors committed during the same period in San Diego County by illegal aliens is estimated to be 17,000. In 1993, approximately 15. 1 % of the costs -accrued in dealing with crimes were spent on illegal aliens. Costs for illegal aliens to the legal system totaled $151 million in the County of San Diego for 1993.
Education.
Recently, a video of students crossing the border and getting on a school bus in San Diego County in order to receive free education was shown nationwide. Locally, we have worked to make sure that this situation does not recur, but education of the children of illegal aliens is also a significant CDSt. It is estimated that $60 million was spent in San Diego County in 1993 for education of illegal aliens.

Illegal aliens cost California billions
2004
âIllegal immigration costs the taxpayers of California â which has the highest number of illegal aliens nationwide â $10.5 billion a year for education, health care and incarceration, according to a study released yesterday.â
Also see: Testimony about â51 Florida Hospitals in troubleâ due to illegal aliens expenses:
Jun 10, 2008
âNo need to editorialize. Here is a sampling of the sort of facts the politicians and pro-illegal lobby want you to ignore, yet expect you to continue to bear the burden of. Is it any wonder scores of hospitals in border states and elsewhere have shut down or closed their ER units!!!â
Then take a look at Texas Faces Rising Cost For Illegal Immigrant Care
Aug 19, 2010
Texas spent at least $250 million in the past year for medical care and imprisonment of illegal immigrants and other non-citizens.
And how about this: The Fiscal Cost of Unlawful Immigrants and Amnesty to the U.S. Taxpayer
May 6, 2013
âIn 2010, the average unlawful immigrant household received around $24,721 in government benefits and services while paying some $10,334 in taxes. This generated an average annual fiscal deficit (benefits received minus taxes paid) of around $14,387 per household. This cost had to be borne by U.S. taxpayers. Amnesty would provide unlawful households with access to over 80 means-tested welfare programs, Obamacare, Social Security, and Medicare. The fiscal deficit for each household would soar.â
And how about the tens of thousands of criminal aliens released into our nationâs population? See: Judicial Watch: 165,900 Criminal Aliens into US Population Through April 2014
Mar 2015
âNearly 166,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens were released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as of April, 2014. This is the analysis of 76 pages of DHS documents obtained by Judicial Watch via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The criminal illegal aliens include rapists, murderers and kidnappers.â

President Trump needs to put an end to this ongoing invasion!JWK
American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance the economic needs of millions of poverty stricken, poorly educated, low and unskilled aliens who have invaded Americaâs borders .
Hmmmmm⌠I have seen this wall of text somewhere before. Oh, thatâs right. It was on the old board. I guess we need to

It appears you are buying into the fear mongering.
What makes this caravan different than the last one, or the one before that or the one before that? None of those ended up as anything that could be described as an invasion.

He already sent troops to the border. Youâre the one discussing declaring a state of emergency in order to invoke emergency executive powers.
And that is far different from martial law.

President Trump, by the terms of our Constitution, is empowered and obligated âTo provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasionsâ.

Fear mongering? You mean like calling people seeking asylum an âinvasionâ and asking whether the president should assume emergency powers?
More people show up for a typical NHL game than all the so called âinvadersâ combined.

Itâs time to stop this ongoing invasion. It has already caused devastating social and economic costs throughout the United States, and a majority of American citizens are on Trumpâs side of the issue.

Thatâs not fearmongering, thatâs truthiness. Now stand back while Donald assumes emergency powers to save us all from the INVASION

There is no surer way to weaken, destroy and subjugate a prosperous and freedom loving people than by importing the worldâs poverty stricken and criminal populations into that country and making the countryâs existing citizens tax-slaves to support the economic needs of such an invasion.

Asylum from what? The poverty stricken country they helped to create by not standing up to their leaders who plunder their nationâs wealth?
Send all these military aged males back to their country with a fully automatic weapon so they can take back their country.
