If the House and
Senate and President cannot agree on a budget within the next 3 weeks, the
shutdown will begin again on 2/15/19. The President will issue an order to
establish funding for border construction from the defense budgets as outlined
below:
White House Drafting $7 Billion National Emergency Draft Wall Plan, by
Michelle Moons, 1/24/19, Breitbart.
The White House is preparing a
much-anticipated plan to have President Donald Trump declare a national
emergency at the southern border, CNN reported Thursday
evening.
The report
stated that under the draft plan, more than $7 billion could be allocated to
build a barrier at the U.S. southern border. CNN cited what it claimed was a
portion of the draft presidential proclamation, “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.”
The report
cited more of what it said was wording included in a version of the draft that
a U.S. official told the outlet was updated at least last week, “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.”
Funds broken down would come from four places, according to
the official cited in the report: $3.6 billion from military construction
funds, $3 billion from Pentagon civil works funds, $681 million from Treasury
forfeiture funds, and $200 million from the Department of Homeland Security.
President Trump has repeatedly expressed that he could declare a
state of emergency at the southern border and release funds to build a border
barrier and secure the border. He has also said repeatedly that he would rather
not accomplish the task by exercising that option. Work on the barrier would be
done by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, according to the report.
Thursday
marked the 34th day of a partial government shutdown, as Democrat congressional
leadership has refused to negotiate on the president’s request of $5.7 billion
to fund a small portion of wall or barrier and for border security on the
southern border.
Comments
This National
Emergency Order is a better option. It doesn’t include pandering to DACA or Illegal
Caravan Migrant Invaders.
The DACA illegals
should be able to apply for existing Visas based on merit and need and be
sponsored by employers like any other immigrant. Illegal Caravan Migrant
Invaders should not be given any humanitarian assistance.
The US should also
stop taking applications for amnesty at the border, but require that all
amnesty applications be filed at US embassies in the immigrant’s home countries.
The US should
eliminate all welfare, support and legal rights to all illegal immigrants going
forward. All federal subsidies should be removed from States, Counties and
Cities that support sanctuary policies.
