Thread: LIVE: President Trump Talks DACA, Amnesty, Border Wall, Shutdown

He was asked the question specifically about a national emergency, "today". He can use the military to build the wall without a national emergency, he can use the military to build the wall to counter illegal drug operations.

You're missing the point----there is a huge difference in,

He would---he is---he did

and

I am considering
I may do it
We can call an emergency
I haven't done it yet
I am allowed to do it

He doesn't need the national emergency component for most of the wall. Most of the wall locations are dope trails, high traffic drug smuggling operations corridors also used for human smuggling.

Yep, that's what he says. However, most of us won't believe it until we see it.

Trump didn't say it. It was the Pentagon who said it a month or so ago. They said that under Title X law, they could build the walls/barriers to deal with a national emergency or to counter illegal drug operations.

There was never any reason for the government shutdown.

Which is it?

It's two different things. One is having the military build the wall - Trump. The other is using the military to build the wall for national emergencies - Pentagon.
