Illegal aliens are the number one concern of voting Americans. The democrats will wreck themselves by denying The Wall. Quoting: Vicious Deplorable dollop I really doubt that. The concern must have been for their welfare because they voted Dem for the upcoming house. Sometimes these Polls don't make it clear what concern people actually have on these issues. Personally, my concern is the tide is stemmed, they come in legally and they can contribute to society without Fed funds.

FaggyBoy, Trump is not a king. It is the legislative branch which controls the purse strings. Trump has bent over backwards to try to get the wall funded, in full. It is the Republicans in Congress who have blocked the effort. McCain and Flake were the primary obstacles. Until that changes, nothing will happen. It will be Romney, MurCOwski and Collins now.

Then those same lib morons complain and say a President has no authority to, under the need for national security, harden a border wall or other border facility? If a President can sign and EO to allow additional emergency funds to be spent in an area then he can sign an EO to build a wall at the Southern Border. Did Obama have the authority to send $150 BILLION to Iran in CASH? Did he have authority to pay for the transport of that cash to Iran? Was Iran under SANCTION at the time? He did ALL of that without ANY legal authority but libs want to complain about something that the President actually DOES have the authority to do? Typical. Liberal. Bullshit.

You must be insane. And if 500K illegals per year flooding the southern border to include known criminals and terrorists who are literally robbing, raping, murdering, assaulting american citizens do not constitute an emergency, I do not know what an emergency is.
