Why would the government of a foreign country pay for a wall in the United States built so as to keep its own citizens and residents from entering the United States? The answer: It wouldn't.
So President Trump changed his argument that Mexico would pay directly for his wall by arguing instead that the $5.7 billion down payment he wants - on a $25 billion to $30 billion project - would indirectly pay for itself in reduced government welfare and law enforcement expenses.
The federal government is running about $1 trillion a year in the red, and Republicans are looking to offer comfort in their party to Hispanics.
The states formed the federal government and limited its powers when they ratified the Constitution.
The court held that only Congress could authorize the seizure or adverse government occupancy of private property and the expenditure of money needed to operate the mills.
In 1976, Congress provided a definition - which, shortly thereafter, the courts refined - of a national emergency: the existence of events truly beyond the ordinary, wherein there is a palpable and immediate threat to lives, safety or property that cannot be addressed by the employment of ordinary government assets or the exercise of ordinary governmental powers.
A valid emergency declaration streamlines the government to address the emergency, but it cannot authorize anything that the Constitution prohibits, nor can it authorize the president to avoid anything that the Constitution requires.
