The "National Emergency" Thread

The only thing keeping Trump's head above water is the 8 summers of recovery that Obama had that made this economy so good. Well, Obama did put a lot more regulations on business that must have served as a catalyst to economic growth. He let us keep our doctor and reduced our insurance costs by $2500 a year too. After his defeat of ISIS is there anything that Obama can't do?

Perhaps Trump should have used his deal making skills to get Congress to help out. You are buying into Trump's false arguments though. He doesn't care if there is or isn't a crisis, he just wants something to scream about. Something to rally the base. A wall won't fix the any real problems like this:

The nation’s top border enforcement officer painted a picture of processing centers filled to capacity, border agents struggling to meet medical needs and thousands of exhausted members of migrant families crammed into a detention system that was not built to house them — all while newcomers continue to arrive, sometimes by the busload, at the rate of 2,200 a day.

How will the wall help with this Tom?

Aw, come on, let's give him another 6 so he can preside over the Obama Doctrine in its entirety. I mean Obama had to preside for 8 years over Bush's policies so why shouldn't we have someone in office to complete the Obama Doctrine?

Because Trump is unfit for office. He is suppose to faithfully execute the laws, not obstruct them.

Why would you think he is so unfit? He's faithfully following Obama's policies and giving Obama the kind of legacy that he deserves.

He can't even explain something without telling a lie.

You know what's funny? Even if President Bernie announced he was implementing the Green New Deal in 6 months, he wouldn't be able to implement it any more than he could implement a "Hop On Pop" economy.

Of course there is a surge:

 

"The port of entry that connects Tijuana to San Diego, the country's busiest border crossing, will allow only 20 migrants to claim asylum a day beginning Friday, a Mexican government official said Friday. Prior to the policy change, Customs and Border Patrol officers had processed up to 100 individuals a day.

The capacity reduction — known in immigration circles as "metering" — came the same day that the Trump administration implemented its "Migrant Protection Protocol," a sweeping policy change that forces asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while they await their U.S. immigration court hearings. Prior to the policy change, asylum seekers waited in the United States, either behind bars or non-detained but monitored..."

Simplest way to reduce illegal border crossings: reduce enforcement.  Apprehensions are used as a proxy for crossings, which presumes the rate of apprehension must remain steady.

 

If the Trump Administration is enforcing the border more stringently, then apprehensions should go up if the rate of attempted crossings stays the same...which would mean the "crisis" is manufactured, and being handled.  

 

Conversely...I want to hear the Democrats explain why more people want to enter a country they insist is a shithole run by a tin-pot dictator, than the paradise run by the previous president.
