Congress’ Nonpartisan Research Arm Says Trump Could Build The Wall Without State of Emergency Or Fun
« on: January 24, 2019, 11:13:38 pm »
    Another statute that authorizes the Secretary of Defense to assist civilian law enforcement with counterdrug activities may provide some authority for the construction of barriers along the border. 10 U.S.C. § 284 (Section 284) provides that the Secretary of Defense “may provide support for the counterdrug activities or activities to counter transnational organized crime” of any law enforcement agency, including through the “[c]onstruction of roads and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.” …

    Use of Section 284 would not require a declaration of a national emergency under the NEA. However, the DOD’s Section 284 authority to construct fences appears to extend only to “drug smuggling corridors,” a condition that may limit where DOD could deploy fencing.

The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a paper internally that suggests President Donald Trump may have the authority to use Department of Defense resources to build a wall without obtaining congressional approval or declaring a state of emergency.

It's worth a try. Trouble is once Trump tries a different approach the question is will the Pubs stand with him on still keeping the govt. shut.

No, because that would needlessly delay the pay of affected essential workers and serve no real purpose.

Shouldn't he be calling Mexico and tell them to pay for the wall?

Perfect!  Trump should be able to get on it right now.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

There are numerous things that he can do @Chosen Daughter  (https://www.conservativereview.com/news/trump-should-revisit-3-executive-powers-to-break-the-border-impasse/).  I am hoping that he is exhausting his options through Congress and putting the DEMS on display for all to witness just how much they abhor this country and its citizens.

Trump has even offered DACA amnesty and they have refused ... so that's on them. They are refusing to bargain on anything until the government is open.

At this point, obviously, it's a wait and see.  Prayers up for our country and this President.

No.

The "state of emergency" will enable Mr. Trump to [legally] invoke powers that will be more difficult for the democrat-communists to challenge.

It's the best way to get this job done.
