I don't have the link at the moment, but I read an NBC story that said as long as Trump doesn't use any already allocated military funds there is nothing technically illegal with him doing it. The US military has unallocated funds that Trump could technically tap into. Not that it's going to go judge shopping and and filing legal challenges to delay.

There was a Democratic politician who referred to the mention of 4000 suspected or confirmed terrorists allegedly blocked into coming into the country illegally, and said that was a gross overstatement, that the so called real number was not that high. He never mentioned what the "real" number was. On a radio show they claimed the administration claimed the Border Patrol stopped 17000 criminals crossing the southern border from Jan to Nov of 2018. The so called expert PBS interviewed claimed out of those 17000 only about 880 were criminals with a prior history of serious violence. I fully understand the vast majority of the people illegally crossing are otherwise good people just trying to come to America for a better life. The thing I haven't heard asked by the MSM is what is the acceptable number of suspected terrorists of rapists robbers or murderers to be allowed to cross the border illegally?

Another thing the MSM never asks Pelosi is why is a wall immoral, but the fences already at portions of the border are not? Is it because they are a joke in slowing down illegals from crossing?

Quigly,

Walls arent immoral. They're an invitation to use the door. Not a single rapist, murderer, etc. should get through. Likewise, not a single perfect law abiding person should get through any way other than allowed by law.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

I totally agree. I was simply referring to Pelosi's recent comments that a wall on the southern border was immoral. We've already got some barriers of different types on sections of the border now, have had for decades. Most of them are a pathetic joke however in terms of actually working, or need replaced.

Every single person who comes across the border illegally is a criminal.

It's not just adult criminals who come across the souther border also. The MSM usally tries to say that everything that Trump says is wrong. This however was a supposed "fact check" on Trumps speech from a MSM source.

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/trump ... own-today/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(bolding and underlining in quotes added for emphasis)
TRUMP CLAIM: Last month, 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought into the United States.

FACT CHECK: Probably True. According to CBP, 4,982 unaccompanied minors were apprehended at the border in October 2018, and November, 5,283 were caught. In addition, family units -- that is, individuals (either a child under 18 years old, parent or legal guardian) apprehended with a family member by the U.S. Border Patrol -- numbered 23,115 in October and 25,172 in November. Assuming that each "family unit" contains at least one child, that means that the numbers of children are well above the 20,000 number cited by the president tonight.
CLAIM: The president claimed more Americans die from drugs than were killed in the entire Vietnam War.

FACT: The Vietnam War claimed the lives of over 58,200 Americans. The Centers for Disease Control reported that over 72,000 people died due to drug overdoses in 2017. This figure includes illicit drugs and prescription opioids.
CLAIM: President Trump said the southern border pipeline vast quantities of illegal drugs including meth, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl. He said that every week, 300 U.S. citizens are killed by heroin alone, and 90 percent floods from the southern border.

FACT: According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 15,958 Americans died from heroin overdoses in 2017. This comes out to about 306 deaths per week. And according to the Drug Enforcement Administration's 2018 report, "The SWB remains the primary entry point for heroin into the United States. Most of the heroin seized by CBP occurs along the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego, California."
Although CBS seemed to do a (mostly) fair job of fact checkingTrumps speech, they did not do any fact checks on the Democratic rebuttal. In fairness however I read Schumer and Pelosi's response, and couldn't find any facts in it.
