Would a wall prevent USA from running guns to the gangs south of the border? No. 250 gun shops along the Tex/Mex border. There must be a reason as the Texans have all of the guns they can use.

There are definite environmental impacts as well.

Well put. Agree.

There is no crisis at the border.

He wants a monument to his name and presidency. He could care less of his base . He just wants to satisfy his ego.

Our government has failed the common man. So, Republicans demonize foreigners to distract.

Yes of course. I'm concerned that tonight he may call for a state of emergency which creates new powers for him and all new problems for the country.

I think you would be right. At this fragile point in Cheeto's administration, they are reaching for anything. Mueller is getting this close and they are truly worried. What better way to distract and deflect than to declare a national crisis? If it's such a dire emergency of national security, why isn't the 82nd Airborne being deployed and dropped on the border? Or are they still doing doing their razor wire stringing duties?

Let's see, first there was Obama's birth certificate, then Hillary's theoretical crimes, then Mexican rapists and Muslim terrorists, and of course, there's the continuing saga of the "fake news." Trump always has to have something to get the dumbasses excited about to make sure they don't start asking any questions about his tax returns, failed businesses, ripoff ventures, sexual misadventures, Russian connections, and the fact that everyone who's ever worked with him is in jail, under indictment, under investigation, or has gone public with their stories of his abuse and mental impairment.

So now we get to hear how he's the only one who cares about national security and only he has the answer of how to deal with external threats.

Just a racist who needs other racists to support him in order to feel good about himself. His ego knows no bounds.

You are 100% correct.

You nailed it.
