Trump to declare National emergency for Wall

True its about morals and feelings.

 

I have links for every claim I make. I never just pull stuff out of the sky and many do here. These links are difficult to find, and the data isn't difficult to access.

But I'm not compelled to do the work to provide it, again, and again, and again, especially when the person demanding it parses their questions as you have. "Significantly". When did I use that word? What does such a subjective word mean to you? As to the question of crimes committed by illegal aliens, why the need to qualify they types of crimes? Are some felonies acceptable?

Data from the DJS shows crime and demographics within the Department of Corrections. Again, the data is available, and quite easy to access.

 

I doubt if she knows who built trhe berlin wall or why

 

Yes. Happens all the time.

For example, Congress agrees to a certain level of funding for FEMA via DHS appropriations. That funding level is what Congress deems appropriate. When an extraordinary circumstance takes place, the President declares a National Emergency, which among other things, provides more money than Congress originally deemed appropriate, in order to deal with the crisis.

I believe this power was granted the Executive Branch because it was apparent the nature of National Emergencies required immediate response, as opposed to the drawn out process and politics of a Congressional response. Congress does have the power, via the National Emergencies Act of 1976, to end such declarations based on the passage of a CR.

 

FEMA is not a project.

Then give me a specific example, if it happens all the time. Stephen Miller and Jim Jordans could not think of an example when asked.

 

Not an NE but just as effective. Obama's unconstitutional DACA because Congress would not pass legislation on it.

 

Nevermind ACA which was NOT a tax until Roberts realized if he changed it to be one it would be Constitutional.... But hey its fine for the SC to change laws now i guess eh?

 

You are not providing any claims, so I don't get the "there are links to back up my claims."

 

Roberts is the new kennedy

 

DACA did not seek to claim more funds than Congress was previously willing to appropriate.

 

Obama didnt need money

Just an amnesty that congress refused to give him

 

What does "FEMA is not a project" have to do with the matter at hand? Is National Security a one dimensional project?

I gave you an example. Another would be President Trumps declaration of National Emergency due to the crisis in California caused by the fires. Congress had not approved the funds the Presidents declaration provided.

Gov. Brown made this request: http://www.ktvu.com/news/trump-declares-emergency-declaration-for-california-fires

"I am requesting direct federal assistance, including Department of Defense assets to immediately mitigate the impacts of this fire,..." ​

 

I'm not inspired to invest the time to provide the links you're demanding. I've posted the information and links dozens of times. You can access the information yourself.

 

Which, of course, is just legislation.

 

The emergency declaration to address Wildfires in California was not a national emergency declaration. Nor did Trump seek funds from Congress for that emergency, get denied, and then declare the emergency as a response.

And "FEMA is not a project" is pretty relevant to the question that I asked you. I will ask it again in a different way.

Presidents have declared a National Emergency 60 times in US history, including Trump's. Can you name one other instance during the previous 59 where the President sought money from Congress for a specific project (e.g. building the wall along the southern border is a project), got denied the amount of money requested, and then declared a national emergency in response?

 

Your injecting talking points that are of your own invention. That is not the way to have an honest discussion.

The President has declared a National Emergency in light of the crisis on the Border, a crisis described by your favorite media sources.

To address this National Emergency threatening the United States, the President will use the power granted to him to provide additional funds, beyond those already allocated, to strengthen our ability to respond and address the immediate need.

This happens all the time as I've noted. I have no idea what thought thread you're attempting to try with regards to FEMA.

All that being true, the bottom line is this will all play out in court, with the radical left attempting to keep their open borders pandering alive, and the Trump Administration fighting for the safety of all US Citizens. Most likely it all ends up in the Supreme Court.

I find it interesting people think the President just barked out a command, without doing all the due diligence regarding authority before doing so.

 

Signing that bill was perhaps the dumbest move of Trump's presidency so far.

The bill specifically limits his ability to build any wall and restricts even where he can build it which could easily be interpreted as having to be followed by any declaration of emergency.

 

Rambling like a foolish idiot, yes.
But he states: I didn't need to do this. I didn't have to do this. He put the nail in the coffin of it being a National Emergency.

 

Trump barks out commands without doing the due diligence regarding the authority before doing so all the time. Trump's former secretary of state admitted, in public, that he routinely had to tell Trump that he could not accomplish a stated goal, constitutionally. Trump banned transgendered individuals from the military without consulting his military. He banned the travel of muslims without telling his DOJ.

You keep claiming that you provided examples and data, but instead you provide none. You have yet to provide a SINGLE example of a President seeking funding from Congress for a specific project, getting rejected by Congress, and then declaring a national emergency in response. You cited to FEMA and then abandoned that example about being told that FEMA is not a project. Then you cited the relief for the California wildfires, but appear to have forgotten that this not an example because that relief was not the result of a national emergency declaration.

But yes, this will play out in the court - after Trump uses the first veto of his presidency to override the joint resolution of disapproval by the Senate and Congress against his national declaration.

And when the courts evaluate whether this declaration was necessary and justified, they will first have to contend with, or ignore, Trump saying, "I didn't need to do this. I just wanted to do it faster, that's all."

The "courts" are going to have an issue with the SoD moving DoD money around?

 

The administration has some discretion in this and military funding is one of them.

 

There have been two instances when a President declared a national emergency to move military funds around for a construction project.

The first was by George HW Bush during the middle of the first Iraq war. The second was by George W. Bush immediately after 9/11.

 

Then there is nothing to challenge.

 

Nothing to do challenge? Surely you are not arguing that "month to month illegal immigration along the southern border being at ~20 year lows" is comparable to the Iraq War or 9/11?

 

Are you saying the SoD can not move DoD money around?
