Spoiler alert: The State of the Union address will be lowlighted by the POTUS declaring a "National Emergency to Stop Immigration from $hithole Countries" to fund his "wall." There. Now you don't have to waste your time watching Trump lie tonight. You've got the substance. You're welcome.



Any of you ever spend some time down at the US/Mexico border? Around any of the towns (San Diego, Nogales, El Paso) it's an absolute clusterfuk. IMO it is a freakin' national emergency.

They catch over 50,000 people a month. Imagine what taxpayers are spending every month just to process and return those people to Mexico, or allow them entry to the US.

One party is talking about using electronic surveillance.. great idea, but by the time you see 'em they're already across the border and in the US. Still gotta catch 'em, process..etc. More $$.

Put up a wall where needed and they don't cross. We don't have to catch them, and save a boatload of $$ in the process. Calif. is going broke with the number of social services they have to provide.

Trump's an idiot, no question, but on this issue I agree.
