Exclusive: White House preparing draft national emergency order, has identified $7 billion for wall

[OneHungLo]

Fuck the Dems; get that wall and deport every illegal including those dreamers.

Washington (CNN)The White House is preparing a draft proclamation for President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency along the southern border and has identified more than $7 billion in potential funds for his signature border wall should he go that route, according to internal documents reviewed by CNN.

Trump has not ruled out using his authority to declare a national emergency and direct the Defense Department to construct a border wall as Congress and the White House fight over a deal to end the government shutdown. But while Trump's advisers remain divided on the issue, the White House has been moving forward with alternative plans that would bypass Congress.

"The massive amount of aliens who unlawfully enter the United States each day is a direct threat to the safety and security of our nation and constitutes a national emergency," a draft of a presidential proclamation reads.

"Now, therefore, I, Donald J. Trump, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C 1601, et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States," the draft adds.

The draft was updated as recently as last week, a US government official told CNN.

According to options being considered, the administration could pull: $681 million from Treasury forfeiture funds, $3.6 billion in military construction, $3 billion in Pentagon civil works funds, and $200 million in Department of Homeland Security funds, the official said.
As lawmakers discussed a short-term measure to fund the government Thursday, Trump again raised the prospect of other ways to fund a border wall without congressional approval.

"I have other alternatives if I have to and I'll use those alternatives if I have to," he told reporters.

"A lot of people who wants this to happen. The military wants this to happen. This is a virtual invasion of our country," Trump said.

The Defense Department referred a request for comment from CNN to the White House.
If the declaration is made, the US Army Corps of Engineers would be deployed to construct the wall, some of which could be built on private property and would therefore require the administration to seize the land, which is permitted if it's for public use.

Remember it bites both ways, trump plays the state of emergency card. Then the next dem president might pull it after a mass shooting.

Should have just came out and gave him the wall. Dems could have looked good helping the daca illegals and stopping the shut down. Now he's going to get his wall anyways without giving up much.

Nice sig. I fucks with it.

Your Southern Border needs strengthening. So why not do it?

[pimpmaster9000]

if trump is such a billionaire and such a bleeding heart patriot and he thinks it is such an emergency, why does he not contribute to the wall from his "massive" personal wealth?

legit question

[bronco67]

This is what will happen.

Trump will find a way to capitulate to Pelosi in a way that saves him a little face. That is the only outcome to this situation. It has nothing to do with any bullshit you post. You're a bullshit person and you post only bullshit.

Trump backs himself into a corner in every situation mainly because he creates the crisis that we need to find a way out of in almost every instance. Then he cucks out.


Why is he begging for wall money? I thought Mexico was going to pay for it.

He couldn't even spring for catering for the college basketball players visit...so there you go.

Trump used his charity's money to pay a seven dollar boy scout fee for Don Jr. What I'm saying is, he's a cheap bastard and will use other people's money whenever possible.

Funny comment considering Obama had to rule by executive order

[TheSquealer]

The funny thing is that you simpletons still won't accept that you've never once been right about Trump in any of your predictions. You tards were all talking about how he'd never get the nomination and how he could never be President.

Now you think that Schumer and Pelosi refusing to negotiate anything and refusing to even discuss border security and them blocking 2 attempts to pay government workers is somehow a win for them.... in spite of all he was offering to compromise on with them.

Now what? He funds the wall anyway in 20 days. They lose the opportunity to negotiate anything at all. And you fucking idiots still run around talking the same shit no matter how many times he beats you.

Strange how no one complains about the many Canadian assholes ... it's almost like you're too irrelevant in the world to even warrant a moments thought.

Uh, you do realize Obama signed less executive orders during a two term presidency than any other President since Grover Cleveland...don't you?

[TheSquealer]

[TheSquealer]

The obvious truth as to why Democrats are sooooo against improved border security. Always saying they support it to voters and then doing nothing meaningful when it's time to act... and why NO DEAL will ever be discussed without pardoning millions of illegals who ultimately will be Democrat voters.

Obviously i wasn't talking about volume which includes stupid things like lowering flags to half mast at federal buildings for whatever reason... i was talking about all the economy crippling executive orders he made,... which Trump eradicated as soon as taking office, because Obama had no ability to move the other two branches of government to support legislation even when his own party controlled the House and Senate.
