[QUOTE="donner, post: 3205442, member: 277"] opioids could certainly be considered an emergency (and one near to me), but don't pretend that they majority of the drugs are being smuggled across the border because of a lack of a fence. IIRC some of the largest seizures have been at border checkpoints in recent years. And i have no doubt that emergencies have been declared for a variety of things. I'm saying that right now, in this situation, it appears it's being used as an end run to a political end. If it was truly an emergency then why wasn't it done sooner? Just because he isn't getting his way, doesn't make it 'an emergency'. Congress not going along with his plan doesn't make it 'an emergency', either. And for the record, i don't object to the wall in and of itself. I object to it from the standpoint that it's cost to value is very low and that nothing is being done to address the actual issues with immigration reform. The 'wall first, reform later' argument is crap and designed to keep the issue on the table for political reasons and not actually fix the situation. A broken immigration system is a far better rallying point for both parties than one that works would be. [/QUOTE]
