    How many thousands of Americans being gunned down by other Americans will it take to become a national emergency?

    How many thousands of Americans have to die because they can't afford healthcare before it becomes a national emergency?

    That's funny. If there are "fewer apprehensions " then current measures work and there isn't a need for a wall and there isn't an emergency. Or are you saying that "fewer apprehensions " is a sign of incompetence??

    Of course the Republicans in Congress are pushing back. They don't want to look more stupid than they already are for not dealing with this for two years, leaving Trump to declare a national emergency. Too late for @$$ covering as the rage merchant Trump supporters like Coulter have them pegged. Trump might win 2020 but those fools are done for.

    Arms are protected by the Second Amendment.

    The Constitution doesn't mention healthcare.

    The definition of "arms" when the Bill of Rights was adopted.

    Holy lock, stock and barrel...Pretty sure the Second Amendment was referring to the type of arms that the military uses.

    During the Obama administration the Border Patrol was ordered to stop making so many apprehensions along the border.

    Millions of people dont die by guns. It's a few thousand, minus the suicides.

    Dont even try to come on this board and spew bullshit. It's not going to fly.

    DUHHHHH. Exactly!!!! Everyone wants a secure, safe border. That's not what the big deal with the idiot is all about. What he's crying about is wanting a wall and I asked a simple question. Sorry you can't handle it.

    I take personal responsibility for my health and my safety and the safety of my family and home.

    You can go with dialing 911 on this...

    Or depend on this...

    Response time for the government is from 3 minutes to never showing up.

    Response time when exercising your Second Amendment rights is a fraction of a second.

    Unsurprising. I don't think the issue was "open boarder vs secured boarder" but more "what are the most effective ways to reduce illegal immigration"

    The wall does play a part in the process, but it should be part of a comprehensive package of policies, not the singular focus.

    That's what popped into my head instantly.
    Yes I do want a more secure border, no I don't want a wall, it just won't work any more than criminalizing guns will prevent school shootings. But who knows, now I can see a way to criminalize guns and find out for sure. Maybe we should just let the wall go up, and when the power goes back to the dems, return the favor on gun control, climate control, and clearly the state of health care is an emergency. Now that the right has no more intrest in including the house they will be two thumbs up, when the time comes right????
