>This plan is not only outlandish—it’s also illegal. Commentators have noted that the military is prohibited from enforcing domestic law without express congressional authorization, and there are specific prohibitions that would apply directly to efforts to enforce immigration law. In addition to those concerns, there’s an even more basic one: The Defense Department lacks funding to build a border wall, and Trump’s claims of emergency authority do not change that.
There! He can’t do it! So stop saying this is a win! IT IS ILLEGAL!

No, it isn't. You're witnessing a new precedent. Next you'll be telling us Lincoln had no right to declare martial law during the War Between The States because of Jewish Technicality.
Sorry booboo. He did. Stand back and have some popcorn. Wall is going to happen.
Normally no but emergency Powers do allow him to do it.
People really underestimate how powerful those emergency Powers are.
He could go full reichstag fire at ANYTIME.
The only thing stopping him is perhaps if the military wants to go along with it or not. And they're less likely to get in the way if he can show a true need for it.
Leo Howard
What a bunch of semitic horseshit. The military would only be used to build a structure, not arrest border crossing beaners.
Ethan Collins
>He could go full reichstag fire at ANYTIME. What's of note is if this was a Democrat president he and his pedo minions would think nothing of engineering a Reichstag Fire to force wall construction. Good example: "ISIS Latino" like Juan Padilla "deploys" "a salted suitcase bomb" at the border murdering tens of thousands of both Mexicans and Americans. That would seal wall construction in stone but then again we're not leftists. If this was them they'd do something vicious involving a jumbo jet airliner. Only reason it hasn't happened is nobody over on the blue side can come up with the right narrative that would involve both spics and a plane. Wait for it though, it's coming. They'll try any trick to keep that wall down and babbling eetos with baby eetos pouring in to vote for them.

Correct, id reckon they even already have all the supplies.

BUILD THE LAW! Prison time for illegals and the people that hire them. This is the best course of action!

Both. Ask any plumber. To stop a flooded house you switch off the flow THEN mop up. You're proposing mop up only. Makes it pretty clear whose side you're on, meme flag posting from an eetos speaking country.

Gabriel Reyes
Hey, worse case, if you DO need them to in effect protect the southern border, can't he just declare the entire length of it a military base? And what happens when you trespass unto a military base?

He can declare it a national emergency but will be challenged and take to the Supreme Court

Building a wall is not law enforcement. It is military construction, an engineering project, and military training. He could totally do it even without using emergency powers.

>a) In the event of a declaration of war or the declaration by the President of a national emergency in accordance with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) that requires use of the armed forces, the Secretary of Defense, without regard to any other provision of law, may undertake military construction projects,
>military lacks funding Have you actually looked at the military budgets lately? They lack some things, but at the top levels money ain't one. >not knowing about unallocated funds in the NDAA You must be new here. Deep state and plutocrats have been sneaking in unallocated funds for years.
Oliver Butler
The frontier is not domestic law
Wyatt Perez
Too lazy to read it. I guarantee they fail to mention there is a portion in defense budget is left unallocated. Also we have the black budget which is not on the books and we don't know how is there. I'm lefty and the argument is that agree with is that it is a waste of money. You can't make the argument that the money isn't there because its not true Slate.

That's right, dems like to ignore the whole Little Rock Nine thing because Faubus was a Democrat and Eisenhower a Republican.

The absolute state of libshit LARP. The military exists to protect the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That by definition means they have the authority to secure all borders, and provides all authority to build any and all fortifications to ensure that mission is successful. These fucking retards think the Army needs a congressional stamp of approval to keep out foreign invaders while pretending "domestic law" at stake.
Fucking Chris Hayes is currently kvetching on twitter that it's international law Trump is violating by building a wall. Get your fucking narrative together already, good grief.
