Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.
41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.
Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

Except if you really want to solve the illegal immigration and drugs problems, instead of a border wall, you want to:
1) Beef up security at legal ports of entry, many of which are nowhere near the border
2) Crack down on visa fraud, since more illegals are in here due to overstaying a visa than sneaking in without one, and
3) By far the most important, come down like ten tons of rectangular red building-things on any company hiring illegals for labor.
We know none of those are ever going to happen, especially not #3 given how much money illegals are making due to their complete lack of rights. Pull your head out, and try not to shred your rectum on the sharp edge of your beak while doing it...

Right but we're not talking optimal solution here, we're talking is he correct to go with whatever solution he thinks is going to help with a problem that he sees. The viability of the solution and the reality of the problem aren't the issue and you can't really make them the issue until after the fact if this is a power you want to remain with the executive branch. Personally, I don't. I think we should give it back to congress and force them to get off their dead asses and do their job once in a while instead of giving the President every power that they haven't already carved out for some czar or other.

I doubt that he believes a wall on the Mexican border will fix anything. It's just something he can deliver by 2020.

True, it's more of an issue of what his voters believe and he attempts to do as a proxy for them. Asking that a politician believe in anything but acquiring personal wealth and power is just unreasonable. Mea culpa.

I won't exactly argue against any of that. But, in Tucson, Arizona, the Pima County coroner says he recovers an average of five bodies PER WEEK. Fewer in the winter, more in the summer, average, five bodies PER WEEK. For humanitarian reasons alone, our greatest efforts at cracking down on immigration should be at the border.
Keep in mind now - that is just ONE border county. I've never looked to see how many US counties border on Mexico. That is, I don't know how many times to multiply those five bodies PER WEEK.
Close the god damned border, stop enticing people to make that run, for the promise of welfare and maybe a decent job. The number of people who die trying to sneak through an airport are microscopic, compared to the dead people at the southern border. And, to sweeten things up for you - the dead are women as often as not.

Don't you dare try and make this sound like some sort of self-propelled humanitarian crisis. There wouldn't *be* such a crisis if the US hadn't had a century-old-plus history of meddling in Latin America and, as stated above, an insatiable hunger for effectively slave labor from these people.

You are often an arrogant little bitch - but don't YOU DARE to tell me what I dare. I dare, and if you insist, I can whip out my Humanitarian Awards to trump all of your bullshit stories.

Eat shit. They gave Dubya and Obama Nobel Peace Prizes, so at this point I don't trust *anything* along the lines of "humanitarian awards."
