(The Center Square) – President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed reports that he is planning to declare a national emergency because of the “invasion” of the southern border and use the military to close the border.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton posted on social media about the reports, a post that Trump shared to his followers with the comment “TRUE.”
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote.
Trump’s campaign focused on immigration as one if its main issues as the southern border crisis and Vice President Kamala Harris’ work on the immigration issue became a feature of the presidential campaign.
Trump vowed to close the border and stop the flow of illegal immigration, which rose to unprecedented levels during the Biden-Harris administration.
The familiar political battle lines either praised or criticized Trump’s decision.
While Democrats and some Republicans earlier this year called for Congressional action to solve the border crisis, the president already has wide authority to address it, something the Biden-Harris administration demonstrated over the summer when they managed to decrease the number of migrants entering the U.S.
Trump could radically change the status quo on immigration without Congress simply by enforcing the laws on the books and changing administrative rules that release migrants into the U.S. and then intentionally refuse to deport them when they don’t show up for court.
Trump’s pick for Tom Homan as border czar and his comments on Monday suggest he will be wielding that executive power on the immigration issue.
As The Center Square previously reported, Homan told the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability in January that Biden is the first president to “unsecure the border on purpose.”
“he (Trump) is planning to declare a national emergency because of the “invasion” of the southern border”
This “national emergency” and “invasion” was deliberately created, encouraged and supported by the traitorous Democrat Party and their corrupt OBiden/Harris administration. Then the traitorous Democrat Party forced the U.S. taxpayers to totally support their illegal immigrants at the cost of over 25 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY MONTH!
Do any of us think that any of the traitorous Democrat Party or the corrupt OBiden/Harris administration will be held accountable for this TREASON?? 🙁 🙁 🙁
There is absolutely no reason for Congress to get involved which would just end up throwing away more tax dollars to aid the incoming lawbreakers. Emotional Sob sisters need to just stand down and let the Executive department enforce the laws on the books and all will be well again. THE PEOPLE of all races and genders have spoken in this last election, so just let the will of THE PEOPLE prevail over the will of the corrupt Democrat party anti-MAGA morons who use the tactics of overwhelming our immigration laws and systems designed by our elected representatives to protect WE THE PEOPLE.
Trump is kicking arzz !!
Go DJT !!
How’s about authorizing the military, to use LIVE FIRE, on those trying to flood across our border!?
