Trump made a speech sometime yesterday. I might have been taking a nap. But evidently, we're being invaded.

“We’re talking about an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs,” he said. He used the word “invasion” seven times. [washingtonpost.com]

And the only solution? Build the wall that he just happened to have made one of his key campaign promises, and yet has done jack-shit about for the past two years. Lucky for him he now has a Democrat majority House that he can blame for opposing him on the issue, instead of a Republican Congress who did nothing for two years. No profit in blaming your own party, now is there?

So, apparently we have a national emergency, and I missed it. It hasn't been an emergency until just now, and it wasn't an emergency when Republicans controlled all three branches of government, but since last month, evidently, the emergency... emerged. Despite the fact that illegal immigration is at a 40-year low. Despite the fact that Trump himself said, “I didn’t need to do this, but I’d rather do it much faster.”

So, back to my question: Where's the invasion? Has anyone else seen it? When did it happen? If we've been invaded, where are the live pictures of troops in action, battling hordes of enemies? Should I be rushing to my Armed Forces Recruiting Station and volunteering to oppose the waves of evil coming across the Rio Grande? Or does Trump just not know the difference between "invasion" and "infiltration"?

Or is it possibly all just a load of hooey?

Biased poll question follows.
