President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    'm not in favor of the border wall. Trump's not the first person to propose it.

    Border wall was already built under Bush and then Obama.. But since Trump wants only to tear down and take ownership of what Obama did, he pretends he came up with the idea. Like the ACA (Affordable Care Act) or Obamacare... and the useful idiots are too stupid to know any better.

    Border wall was already built under Bush and then Obama.

    Some wall building was present under those two administrations. The Trump version apparently would run over most of the US-Mexico border and require a great deal of imminent domain.
