Today, Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the border is not designed to actually deal with the real emergency at the border and finally stop illegal immigration and combat the cartels.
Trump is right that there is an emergency at our border unlike any other period of illegal immigration in this country.
It is an emergency that largely began during his own presidency, long after he made a border wall the focal point of his enforcement agenda.
If Trump is going to expend such political capital on executive action, why not take that action and direct it towards what is actually causing the emergency and what would solve it? How about we stop violating the Constitution by handing out American Social Security numbers to Obama's illegally amnestied aliens? Why won't Trump end Obama's amnesty, and why is he continuing it even longer than the court asked?
We can make a strong case that the border situation is the biggest emergency we have had in years.
The actions of signing this amnesty bill, with no legitimate border security provisions, and then declaring an emergency just to reprogram a couple billion in DOD funding for a campaign promise, without simply using Article II powers to directly shut off the illegal immigration fueling all of this, drastically undermines the case.
If this is indeed an emergency, which I believe it is, Trump needs to demonstrate it holistically.
