    You tell me ….


    Just for the record - the RGV sector is one of 30 sectors along the border.
    The person quoted above is a BP agent.

    No it isn’t a national emergency.

    Trump will have already built his wall by the time the Supreme Court figures it out.

    The funny thing is how long will this wall take to build? If there was a true national emergency we’d have kept the military at the border while we build this thing over years.

    At least the wall will be built. But that high-speed rail line in California?

    Donald Trump is a national emergency that will only end when he is out of the White House
