I am all for "The Wall" because it will siphon money from the bloated military budget.

    Go ahead and defund these pork projects of the Pentagon. The defense budget is already massively bloated.

    This is a message to all Republicans: When a Democrat President is in charge and declares a Nat'l emergency to address homelessness in America I better not here a peep from you guys. Deal?

    Unless you can cure drug addiction, alcoholism, and mental illness, declaring a National emergency would be pointless.

    Specifically, what projects would you get rid of?

    Lol, the money needed to finance the wall amounts to a rounding error in the federal budget and at most pocket change in the Pentagon budget. Nothing will be defunded or even scaled down but by all means keep deluding yourself.

    PS the wall will be built and will assure Trump's reelection, the homeless problem will not be solved even by 25 national emergencies and will guarantee a crushing defeat of a Democrat president stupid enough to try.

    Even if it decreases it by 20%, it will be worth every penny.... in reality it will decrease illegal immigration by 50% or more.... lest we forget its positive impact on drug trafficking and a bunch of other criminal activity.

    Nope. It probably will not decrease it 5%. It is a joke. Most drug trafficking will still come thru legal ports of entry or tunnels.

    You are being played like a fiddle

    Glad we agree it will decrease illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Quibble about the specific numbers with someone your age, a decrease is a decrease, the dems platform is to do nothing and offer amnesty, free healthcare, public assistance and tuition.

    National emergencies have been declared since the law was passed. This one is no different.

    But it will put a significant dent in it as well as drug smuggling and human trafficking.

    Most violations in our immigration system are from our visa program. But please do enlighten us, what makes you think a barrier will do nothing to prevent illegal entry. Do you know, or are you just repeating a talking point?

    Every budget needs to be cut ... defense, entitlements, etc. I’m tired of people living off my income.

    I'd support a bill requiring all wall funding to match an equal amount of homeless aid funding. Thats a good idea :)
