Mini-editorial: Trump called emergency because Congress failed

The lamestream media will never tell it like it is, but President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border to impede illegal immigration and the flow of drugs, because Congress continues to refuse to do its job.

The Democrats and the fake-news media are falsely claiming that it's a “fake” crisis and there is no problem that requires construction of new barriers at the southern border.

The definition of crisis is “a condition or instability or danger, as in social, economic, political or international affairs, leading to a decisive change.”

But how and why is it not a crisis? There are more than 15 million illegals in this country who have ignored our immigration laws, and we have people pouring over the borders every day, with 107,000 “family units” taken into custody in 2018. And there were 369,000 apprehensions along the southern border last year, and that doesn't include all of the illegals who weren't caught.

Democrats and the liberal media continue to mislead U.S. citizens, even though 72,000 people die from opioid overdose every year, and criminals, potential terrorists, gang members and child abusers easily pass into our country.

If this is isn't considered a crisis, what would be?

Fundamentally this sets dangerous historical precedent. Maybe not legal precedent because Congress has granted the emergency powers to the executive branch

Could you imagine a democrat president spending money on global warming.

Homeless, student loans, welfare, gun control, or free healthcare under the guise of national emergency?

There’s a trend on the internet that is glorifying Socialism/Communism. Our young people are buying into that nonsense.

Well, no shit... what do you expect when parents give kids everything without teaching them to be self reliant? All they know is all this stuff is free, always has been. I guess they figure since Mom and Dad gave it to them, someone must have given it to Mom and Dad. They don't know how their parents got it or how to earn it for themselves.

I just hope the USA can hold off on the shit totally hitting the fan for another 60 years or so... by then I'll most likely be gone and won't have to worry about it. But damn, a lot of shit can happen in 60 years... What language do ya reckon I should be learning to speak?

It's not just about socialism. It's about ignoring the Constitution. People just don't care about it. Case in point Colorado wants it's electoral college to vote based on the popular vote of the country, not the vote of it's citizens. The best way to do this is an amendment. They know it won't pass so it will eventually go to the supreme Court.

THE KIDS OF TODAY DONT CARE ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION BECAUSE THEY HEAR EVERY DAY THAT BECAUSE THATS HOW IT WAS YEARS AGO, DOESNT MEAN IT SHOULD BE THAT WAY NOW. TURN ON ANY NEWS STATION OR INTERNET REPORT, THEY PROMOTE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE WITH THEM.
