Funny, but it still doesn’t feel like an emergency.

Still no invasion of “brown-skinned” rapists, terrorists and drug lords, as President Trump had predicted.

Nope. In fact illegal immigration into the United States continues to drop. It’s now down 75 percent since 2000.

But yes, a (campaign) promise is a promise and as such Mr. Trump felt he had little option but to declare the National Emergencies Act by which means he’ll be able to redirect federal monies to build more miles of a border wall. Because Congress certainly wasn’t going to let it happen.
