Trump says military to build border wall if Democrats refuse

I hope he means it. Lots of empty bluffing lately, that hasn’t worked.

[slumber1]

What do you mean “if” they refuse. They have already refused so when does construction start?

[DownInFlames]

Illegal immigration is a clear and present danger.

Use it as a Seabee and Combat Engineer training opportunity. We can have reservists do their 2 weeks on the border.

[justa-hairyape]

We need a MAGA Wall Go Fund me.

[mrmeyer]

That should set up a GoFundMe account for adopting a landmine

Where is the GOP?

Where they've always been. In the decades leading up to the Trump era, the GOP never had any intentions of securing or protecting our borders.

[Leep]

Before they were never Trumpers..
They were never conservatives.

I wish he would stop threatening to do that, and just order it done. To hell with the dems and the pro-illegal republicans and media.

[conservative98]

Who’s watching Chuck and Nancy and Trump?

[fruser1]

Should’ve done it that way from the get go.

[dragnet2]

It’s easy to spot the political posers here and elsewhere. The GOP was dead on the floor before Trump for damn good reason. Without Trump the borders or a wall would not even be discussed. The borders would still be wide open violent free for all. Both parties would still be waving in millions with a wink and a nod as they’ve done for many decades leading to the Trump era. Yet the posers ignore all that and always focus on Trump, instead of those who created and continue to support these America last, country killing globalist open border polices.

This is what should have been done to begin with, imho.

[Mariner]

” but does he have the authority to direct them to build the wall?”

It would require a National Emergency declaration by POTUS.

That’s as close to martial law as the US system allows.

It’s how Roosevelt was able to imprison Japanese Americans.

[SMARTY]

THE SOONER THE BETTER!

"We really need to understand who the enemy is. We will never defeat them if we don’t acknowledge it’s the ruling elites the uni-party not the dems only that we are fighting."

Absolutely right you are.

Meeting with Pelosi & Schumer was a real shit show.

Trump had the press there unknown to Stretch & Chuckles the Clown.

"Mission and Vision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: The corps' mission is to 'Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation's security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters.' "

I'd say building the wall to provide security at our southern border falls into that category, namely, preventing the flood of illegals raging across our border.

Trump had the press there unknown to Stretch & Chuckles the Clown.

How did the two of them, with their camera radar, not know the media was there?

[Flaming Conservative]

Ambush!!! Yes!!!
