Thumbs up The U.S. Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to begin building the wall



The U.S. Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to begin
building the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border using emergency funds, lifting an
injunction Friday that had been imposed by a district court in California and
upheld by the Ninth Circuit.


After Congress refused to appropriate enough funding to build a barrier along
the border earlier this year, President Trump declared a national emergency to
allow the administration to access more money. In total, he ordered $8 billion
spent — though, only $3.6 billion needed an emergency declaration.


The president was exultant on Twitter:

Wow! Big VICTORY on the Wall. The United States Supreme Court overturns
lower court injunction, allows Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for
Border Security and the Rule of Law!




The decision was largely along partisan lines, with all five Republican-
appointed justices voting to lift the injunction, while all three liberal justices
were opposed. Justice Stephen Breyer sought to have it both ways, allowing
the process to go forward but not the construction: “There is a
straightforward way to avoid harm to both the Government and respondents
while allowing the litigation to proceed. Allowing the Government to finalize
the contracts at issue, but not to begin construction, would al- leviate the
most pressing harm claimed by the Government without risking irreparable
harm to respondents.”

Thanks to the right wing judges he picked. I'm shocked.

A ridiculous waste of money that just shows the Right Wing have turned the Supreme Court into a tool to push their bull****. Using Emergency funds to do it is just beyond gross.

they haven't spent the money allocated for the wall in 2018 yet, so it's all a bit premature

Ignoring the fact that Trump went back on his word to make Mexico pay for the wall and is instead using funds from the emergency fund (that is both used to help prepare areas for natural disasters and to aid in their recovery) doesn't make it so that Liam isn't speaking sense, it just means you are ignoring facts that don't benefit your views.

Limiting illegal migration to the USA will mean fewer people are held in the detention centres. Surely that's a good thing?

Nobody has a problem with immigration procedures. Humane immigration procedures.

An expensive and even more pointless wall that serves no purpose and is using emergency funds is nothing more than an ego trip.

he current system is clearly not working well. Like Oliver says, completing the wall will mean no detention centres. People from poor countries will always try to get into richer, developed countries. There isn't enough room for everyone.

After the conquistadors, maybe Mexico and others should be thinking about asking Spain for help? Like countries once in the Empire and now in the Commonwealth? We're constantly told we're responsible for all the ills in these countries why is Spain not getting it in the neck? It makes as much sense as blaming any other country who once had an empire.

My husband is Texan. He hates Trump... but he does say that illegal immigration is a massive problem. And I believe him.

Of course a solution needs to be found. But is this wall that solution? Not very likely.

And using the country's emergency funds? It's just barbaric tbh.

Except most security experts agree that a wall would do nothing and so it's essentially a monument to Trump's incompetence that will eat up money that should be used for disaster relief.

'If we build a wall that won't do anything then we'll have no need for concentration camps!' What kind of grim ****ing dystopia? It's also a useless statement since people are being detained in these camps when they try to seek immigration legally, hell, there are incidents in which US citizens have been detained in these camps for weeks based purely on their race.

How about the US do that they wrote into their own law and adhere to the Flores Agreement? Every other president has had to deal with immigration crises and none of them have ever resorted to concentration camps. No amount of spin can change the fact that what is going on in the US is rotten and is a result of the current administration's continued racism and dehumanisation of non-white immigrants.

He's not fulfilled a single promise. He promised the American people they wouldn't pay a cent for it.

He isn't fulfilling a promise, Mexico isn't paying for it and the money is coming out of the emergency fund, a fund that is used to help areas in the US recover from natural disasters and these disasters happen every year, it's not a rainy day fund that Trump can dip into guilt free because it's never used. It's used frequently and there's not enough money in it to begin with.

Do you think he should be applauded for taking money away from future victims who will have nothing when disaster strikes? Do you?

Walls work.

The border fence in Israel cut illegal immigration by 99%, Hungary found erecting a border wall cut illegal immigration by a similar %, and Bulgaria's border wall saw illegals decrease seven-fold.
