Wisconsin Governor withdraws national guard troops from wall duty. Third state to do so.
"There is simply not ample evidence to support the president's contention that there exists a national security crisis at our Southwestern border," Evers said in a news release. "Therefore, there is no justification for the ongoing presence of Wisconsin National Guard personnel at the border."
Evers added that the border should be the responsibility of US Customs and Border Protection.

And now the fun starts in the Senate.

Who can afford to vote against this?

Who wants to go into the 2020 election as someone who voted for Trump ****ing Wall?

I think anyone who wants to prevent President Cortez from declaring a national emergency on oil and making its sale illegal.

Should the POTUS have unlimited power to tax and spend?

That is the issue

House fails to override Trump's veto of emergency declaration challenge, ending for now Congress's effort to stop border wall plan

President Trump had declared a national emergency to circumvent Congress and get billions of dollars for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. The House and Senate passed a resolution rebuking Trump.

The effort to stop Trump now shifts to the courts after few Republicans broke with their party to join Democrats on the vote Tuesday.

Would this wall keep the Americans inside?? walls do have a psychological effect of shutting folks off... and create the desire to have them torn down. Societies have been tearing down walls for centuries..........so this is really a step backwards.With all the technology available today.........and more being created daily........Not exactly a form of creative thinking or problem solving.

It puts everyone on record.

He has given them a year to get it done.

By that time he will be packing his bags.
