Trump: If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall.

You don't have to teach ME about the co equal branches of government. Go teach that Cortez idiot.

Regardless, Trump believes in the rule of law (don't have a country without it) and that was pretty evident in his campaigning. So, I'm not surprised he follows their rulings, but, he does fight them...all the way to the SC.

Early 80's mortgages at over 15%. But you have to compare worldwide. Most of the rest of the world still has a zero interest rate policy. By having a higher rate than everyone else, it makes the dollar stronger (people want to hold dollars for the interest) and so it hurts our exports and balance of trade (US goods become relatively more expensive in foreign currency terms, and imports to the US are cheap in USD terms).

Already budgeted monies can easily be redirected under emergency status.
Ask the Obamunists about this. The money sent on pallets to Iran did not just pop up out of thin air.

Yea, and the difference is, no body took Obama to court over it.

Sorry you are wrong.

President has immense Constitutional authority to use 1 million active military and $700 BILLION budget to defend the United States--that is his primary Constitutional duty. A few $ Billion for concrete and steel from military funds to provide construction materials to Army Combat Engineer wall construction is a drop in the bucket. DOD moves and reallocates $ Billions every day based on operations needs and changing threat assessments--which include an alarming number of potential terrorists from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, etc etc countries that are know harbors of anti American terrorists, who are crossing southern border into the United States..

These incursions of US southern border are well known (but classified) by US intelligence and obviously by Border Patrol on the ground. Trump could easily use national defense as justification to fund Army Combat Engineers building wall on border IF HE WANTED but, like Obama and Bush before him, Trump has opted to take a "see no evil" attitude because openly admitting these issues would upset the public who would force action and curtail the flow of mass immigration demanded by corporations (money donors) and globalists.

Posse Comitatus wouldn't apply here. He should do it. Libtards will have a fit but f*ck them.

You don't have to be a liberal but talk is cheap. 3 things I voted for Donald Trump. The wall being number 1, he could have done it when he had both houses. 2 repealing Obamacare, 3, a good economy to look forward to. Well the economy is roaring except the Federal reserve is raising rates to counter it. The mandate has been repealed, but there is no alternative especially if you have a pre-existing condition.

Can you read?

This was just posted. Explains how Trump is NOT constrained by inferior courts (unless he wants to be).

Courts are just an excuse Trump uses on gullible Trumptards.

Read the US Constitution. POTUS, SCOTUS and Congress are created equal. Only SCOTUS required by Constitution all other courts are inferior courts created by Congress and as such they are NOT equal to POTUS and have no authority over POTUS.

Trump accepts those courts because he wants to NOT because he has to. Look back thru history, many US Presidents have rightly ignored these inferior courts. Power corrupts, these little district judges get a life appointment and begin to believe they are in charge, Trump has Constitutional right to ignore them as his predecessors have,

The question is does Trump have the backbone to move forward against these illegitimate forces. To date the answer is NO.

Cant do it lol. God IDK how trump does it but he manages to say stupider shit every damn day.

Pretty soon only person he will be saying that crap to is Bubba:-)

....People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!

And let me add. POTUS can declare a national emergency at the border and move any amount of the 1 million active military and use any amount of the $700 Billion DoD budget to meet that emergency.

To say POTUS is always constrained by approval from Congress or lines in a DoD budget authorization is to believe if Russia or China attacked the United States POTUS could not respond without approval from Congress? 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. That the invaders come from Mexico rather than Russia does make the harm to american citizen any more acceptable.

Army Corp of Engineers are designers, not builders, they build via huge contracts which means Trump would need to get them money i.e. $25 Billion.

A southern border wall is actually very simple construction, nothing more than 30 X 30 prefab panels set in a 5 foot deep ditch alongside an improved gravel access road, all construction easily done by Army Combat Engineers and Navy Seabee Construction Battalions who are already on the payroll so no contractor cost just minimal cost for basic concrete and steel.

If Trump can order this done now (he can) then why didn't he order this done 2 years ago?

He's moving forward. Something you libtards know nothing about.

Army Corps of Engineers build things all the time in country.

Would not be considered a deployment, but an infrastructure project.

That said -- our military needs to be used to secure OUR borders, as opposed to those of assholes who hate us.

The ultimate law in the United Staes is the US Constitution which vest POTUS with both authority and responsibility to defend the borders of the United States. additional Trump can use federal law.

Section 212(f) of the INA is arguably the broadest and best known of these authorities. It provides, in relevant part, that
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Time for Trump to show some backbone and defend the american people.

Good. But the courts will stop it. It will have to go to SC for a ruling.

The talking heads on Fox are already saying all spending is legislative and the military was not allotted funds to build the wall. So, that is the reason that will be used in the courts.

And I'm sure he has the military intelligence that shows ISIS is using southern border to infiltrate....

Argue that one Demtards!

What is at about twitter that brings out my evil side. I get so angry reading stupid dimms comments, I just can't help myself.

I spent some years as a combat arms officer supporting border missions against the old soviet block in europe and later against north korea, spent months on us southern border ( I know border security) then a graduate school fellowship in a STEM field at the most expensive university in the usa to include graduate coursework in federal acquisition regulations and contracting to prepare me for multiple years in the pentagon with every known security clearance, managed, developed and or worked on 100s million dollar procurement contracts, believe I am well founded in federal budgeting and appropriations.

That's my experience. What is yours?
