    Currently 31 National Emergencies; Trump’s Border Emergency Would Make 32

    Currently 31 National Emergencies; Trump’s Border Emergency Would Make 32

    [


    There are currently 31 national emergencies recognized under federal law. If President Donald Trump declares a national emergency over the border crisis, it would increase that number to 32, putting in perspective how common it is for U.S. presidents to exercise that legal authority if he declares a border emergency.

    Congress enacted the National Emergencies Act on September 14, 1976, two months before Jimmy Carter was elected president. Since that time and beginning with Carter, presidents have declared 58 states of emergency.


    Many national emergencies are of limited duration, such as President Ronald Reagan’s declaring a national emergency in 1985, imposing sanctions on Nicaragua. That emergency lasted several years, ending under President George H.W. Bush.

    But most are still ongoing. In fact, the longest-running state of national emergency was the first one ever declared under the National Emergencies Act. On November 14, 1979, President Carter signed Executive Order 12170, declaring a national emergency responding to Iran-sponsored terrorism.


    That emergency is 39 years old, with no end in sight.


    There are currently 31 national emergencies. These include President Bill Clinton’s declaration of emergency on October 21, 1995, dealing with narcotics traffickers, to President George W. Bush’s declaration of emergency on September 14, 2001, dealing with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, to President Barack Obama’s declaration of emergency on March 9, 2015, blocking property and suspending entry from certain people causing trouble in Venezuela.

    President Trump has declared three emergencies during his time in office, dealing with human rights abuses (December 20, 2017), sanctioning those attempting to interfere in U.S. elections (September 12, 201, and – like Reagan – one dealing with Nicaragua (November 27, 201.


    Under the National Emergencies Act, President Trump has full authority to declare an emergency regarding the crisis on the U.S. border for many reasons, such an drug trafficking. For example, most of one of the deadliest drugs killing Americans right now, fentanyl, is made in China, but fully 85 percent of that lethal drug enters the United States through the Mexican border. Such a declaration would be consistent in scope and effect with many of the 31 current emergencies.


    The president is considering declaring such an emergency, which would simply increase the number of national emergencies to 32, as he prepares to travel to the U.S. border with Mexico.

    Do it. Worry about where the money comes from, i. e. which fund for which purpose in what amount, later. You're under no obligation during a national emergency involving foreign persons to advertise what, how or when you're going to address this invasion. Just declare it and reopen this government immediately.

    The DISEASES are a big part of this emergency!

    We do not have the capacity, the resources or the finances to take in 2 billion people on the planet!

    We are 22 trillion in debt. Stop borrowing money from China, stop using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund refugees, asylum, TPS and illegal aliens. SEND THEM HOME NOW!

    Process and deport within 48 hours.

    Where is Center for Disease Control and their input!

    KEEP THEM ALL OUT! THEY MUST APPLY FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRIES!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

    YES, you're right dear Beezer, he needs to remember to mention the diseases and health risk emergencies.
