One more solution would be for Trump to VETO ANY "Continuing Resolution".
DemocRATS thrive off of "Continuing Resolutions" and refuse to do any REAL budgeting.
We should have more government shutdowns to wake the public up to the real motives of the DemocRATS,
and to just how little the DemocRATS actually care about the United States Citizens.
I agree with you on both counts, Trump should declare an emergency and build the wall, he should veto any continuing resolution. Why has Trump not declared an emergency already? Undoubtedly because he does not have sufficient support of the senators in his own party. Although he needs a vetoproof support level in either house or Senate to withstand an override attempt of is veto in the unlikely event that Congress withdraws support of the emergency declaration, coming close would mark a failure which would jeopardize his reelection and grease the rails of impeachment.
As to a veto of continuing resolutions, which Trump threatened to do and has failed to follow through on, we fiscal conservatives ought to recognize that the president never campaigned on balancing the budget. Indeed he never campaigned on cutting any entitlement-except perhaps Obama care to the degree that is considered an entitlement.
So the question has to be asked, how committed is Trump personally to cutting spending. He has an uncanny ability to read the public and he knows that conservatives rarely get elected by telling the people to eat their spinach when their Democrat opponents are promising they will keep the music playing.
The reason for this is that there is no accountability for deficits or debt because we are simply printing money. Please see:

Remember Bush 43 and Goldman Sachs. Between 2007 and 2008 both GS and Lehman Bros. increased their CEO pay from the $40million area to the $70million zone. The British banks sneered at Lehman Bros. when they wanted some financial support and Lehman is gone. On the other hand GS....
