You're probably not personally familiar with the history of illegals coming into the U.S. from across our Southern border, since you are "from up North." But most from "up North" don't. So don't beat yourself up about it. The history goes all the way back to the sugar beet days in Colorado. Comprende, hombre?

One would also have to live and work in a metropolitan area traditionally settled by Hispanic populations in higher percentages than found in Travis County, because in those larger communities of legally present Hispanics those who have snuck into the country or illegally remain here after gaining permission to remain for a limited period of time can blend into the communities without being readily identified as being here illegally. I have. You haven't.

Trump Is Right: Our Border Is In Crisis, And Congress Is Ignoring It

After promising again and again to stop illegal immigration, cartel violence, and the drug epidemic, members of Congress are complaining that Donald Trump is now taking action.

By Scott DesJarlais

March 26, 2019

Since the National Emergencies Act became law in 1976, U.S. presidents have declared more than 50 emergencies. More than 30 are ongoing. In the past, presidents of both parties have used their emergency powers to reallocate federal funds, reassign government employees, and build infrastructure to protect Americans from terrorist attacks, weapons of mass destruction, and drug cartels.

Our country has been in a continuous state of emergency for nearly four decades, not that Congress ever noticed. Not once has Congress reviewed a single declaration in a timely manner, as the law requires. Not a single time have members, who routinely vote to fund all sorts of unauthorized, constitutionally questionable federal programs, voted to terminate one of these declarations.

Congress originally granted presidents broad authority to declare emergencies undefined in legislation because emergencies are unpredictable by nature. As our Founders understood, the idea that Congress should forever deliberate over a possible military action could leave our country defenseless in the face of immediate danger.

Also, constitutionally speaking, the presidency has inherent power to direct the military, the main purpose of which is to defend U.S. territory. If foreign adversaries were to suddenly attack Texas or California, is there any doubt the commander-in-chief should have the power to act without committee hearings first?

Finally, Congress has never voted to disapprove an emergency declaration, because the most political branch of government prefers to delay or deny its responsibilities and grouse later. After promising again and again to stop illegal immigration, cartel violence, and the drug epidemic, and failing to close any legal loophole or the porous border causing these deadly problems, members are complaining that Donald Trump is now taking action.

Like millions of Americans across the political spectrum, who elected the outsider to the White House, he took our long-stated positions seriously. The difference is that President Trump, rather than searching for excuses, is finally doing something about our country’s number-one national security threat, with little help from establishment Washington.

Sadly, high-paid professionals who make their living in The Swamp see economic opportunity in an endless pool of foreign labor and potential amnesty for illegal aliens, while heroin, fentanyl, and other drugs from Mexico are killing tens of thousands of mostly working- and middle-class Americans every year.

International cartels and other violent gangs, such as MS-13, that control the flow of drugs and human beings into the United States have murdered many more. In Mexico itself, the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Zetas, and others have probably claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, but the full scope of slaughter across Central and South America is difficult to quantify.

Despite misleading media coverage, it has become clear that foreign adversaries really are attacking our southern border. China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, to name a few determined enemies, have joined forces to spread their malign influence across the region, threatening our allies and Americans’ safety here at home. The role of Chinese drug manufacturers, supplying Mexican cartels with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid many times more powerful than heroin, and responsible for an increasing number of overdose deaths, is just one example.

The communist state’s tolerance for narco-trafficking could be part of a larger strategy that defense experts have described to the House Armed Services Committee, on which I serve. For instance, China supports the socialist Maduro regime in Venezuela. U.S. prosecutors have indicted its leaders on serious drug trafficking charges. Cuba, also a communist dictatorship, is a Caribbean drug depot and enforcer for the regime. So are Cuban-funded terrorist organizations FARC and ELN.

Russian and Iranian forces, including Iran’s infamous Revolutionary Guard Corps, are assisting Nicholas Maduro’s crackdown on dissent. This wide-reaching network of drug-traffickers, human smugglers, terrorists, corrupt governments, and left-wing radicals extends to America’s doorstep. In one notorious plot, Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah hired a cartel hitman to assassinate a foreign ambassador in Washington.

The connection between the Islamic Republic and Mexican cartels is even more insidious. A Drug Enforcement Administration investigation revealed that they conspire to traffic drugs and arms, and launder the proceeds to wreak more havoc. Profits from human smuggling, otherwise known as illegal immigration, fill cartel coffers.

Reports that Venezuela and Cuba have helped to organize recent migrant caravans should be reason enough to secure the southern border. That sophisticated cartels aligned with the world’s worst dictators and terrorists have corrupted top levels of the Mexican government should close the case to build more border barriers. Yet willful ignorance pervades most media coverage, reflecting the liberal open-borders agenda, really a collection of crass commercial and political interests dressed up as utopian fantasy.

With all due respect to a few of my colleagues, Congress has already appropriated substantial funding in previous legislation, permitted its reallocation on frequent occasions, and granted the president authority to do so in case of an emergency like the one we confront at the southern border. The partisan debate over whether a wall will work ended when nearly every congressional Democrat voted to send the president $1.4 billion for construction costs.

All that remains is to finish the job, a foreign concept in Washington. The absence of tanks and artillery along the Rio Grande should comfort no one. Nor should the methodical pace at which our adversaries have advanced in Latin America, nor Congress’ reluctance to act. We have a president, in particular President Trump, for moments like this that call for decisive action in the interest of national security.

Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a physician, represents Tennessee’s Fourth District in Congress. He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, as well as the Border Security Caucus, and chairs the Congressional Range and Testing Center Caucus, working to maintain the U.S. military’s advantage in air and space.

Trump has now been POTUS approaching 27 months. Republicans have controlled the House and Senate for 24 of those months. So the Democrats are to blame?

You are off topic based on the OP.

And I am one of the voters who agrees that there is a major problem at our southern border. What voters do NOT agree on is how to relieve that problem. Voters do NOT support a wall. Voters do NOT support Trump declaring a national emergency. Voters do NOT support Trump over-riding the budget passed by Congress and diverting money from supported projects in order to build the wall.

"Nearly 70 percent of those polled in a new survey say they would oppose President Trump declaring an emergency to build a wall on the Mexican border."

"Trump has now been POTUS approaching 27 months. Republicans have controlled the House and Senate for 24 of those months. So the Democrats are to blame?"- Speed Racer

Giving tax cuts to the wealthy and building his personal fortune have been a much higher priority than protecting the border. Republicans let Trump off the hook and now its just politics for Trump. He doesn't give a fuck about the border. Its not going to matter, Trump wont survive his residency. The trash always gets taken out eventually

You keep posting shit from the LameStreamMediaSocialLiberalAn tiTrumpers who pretend to know all about the Southern Border and its history like you pretend to know!

Do you think I and/or the ranchers and landowners along our Southern Border give a rat's ass what you and/or some puke in Minnesota "thinks" about the reality of the Southern Border!

You all are the ones who let the 911 hijackers cross in from Canada on a regular basis to train for the attack and plan the attack!!!!! Remember? "Connecting the dots"!!!

Texas has been "connecting the dots" for DECADES!



While the fluffs have "board meetings" for photo ops!!!!



As for "your team" ... you might want to do some research on Lamar Smith's "investigation" into the security practices and actual expenditures by the Clinton Administration that were budgeted by Congress .... to "augment" border security along the Southern Border .... hot air.

You and "the voters" you claim "agree with you," have no skin in the effort ... so please stay on the porch and let those who know and care about what's happening take care of it.

well if what speedy is referring to was posted on the internet it must be true "right"

I agree with what you say LL, the news sources that speedy posted are all left wing sources and anything Trumps wants to do does not fit their narrative. So why would they post a poll that go's against what their narrative is! they can't be the Pied Piper if they don't play the right tune
