It's easy to ask rhetorical questions like this.

Obama wouldn't because he's invested in open borders.

Of course, but it doesn't stop hardened leftists from their own rhetoric.

Pretty sure open borders wasn't part of Obama's platform, he also is no longer President so what he was invested in no longer has any relevance now.

Pretty sure my that if we fix these countries where the immigrants came from, then a lot less come.
Yugoslavia's back baby...

How the hell did this happen?
Well...we don't actually know. Just sort of happened one day.
Is it a reunited Yugoslavia in the 21st century? Is a rebel colony world in the far future? Is it a race of cyborg neo-life at war with any assimilating organisms they come across in the far far future? Who knows, who cares?

Mexico has a GDP of 2.5 trillion, which is France minus Paris. Pretty sure they can care for themselves if they pull their fingers out their anus.

Pretty sure most of those immigrants come from Central American countries, not Mexico.

I would have. I think an actual wall is an absolute waste. The money is better spent on the coast Guard, the border guard, and high tech border security

They didn't and I wish, as a Chinese that this myth and other myths about the Great Wall would die horribly.
The Manchus were blocked out from the northern heartlands by forts with Portugese cannons on them until their subterfuge operations destabilised the Ming Dynasty to such degree that they gained access to Shanhaiguan. The Mongols got around the Great Wall by raping, pillaging and slaughtering their way through a lesser dynasty in the west first and then beating the combined Jin dynasty armies in passes near the Wall. Neither of which applies to the current US-Mexican situation.

I wonder if Congress will try and make a law to limit what counts as an Emergency.

Maybe instead of parroting blue checkmarks you should come up with something original. You're just copying those without a creative bone in their body, and it shows hard.

You mean the lapdog that wants to be a sheep? Hmm, I'm pretty sure he can't stop a vote on reversing a National Emergency though. Speaking of national emergency, didn't Republicans slam Obama for going around Congress on immigration?
