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.”

"congress has failed to perform its duties [to regulate immigration"
I confess, I really don't get it either. Illegal immigrants simply should not exist, or at least there should be extremely few of them. If the government wants to let all those people in, then make them legal. If the government doesn't want them, then close the border and kick them out.
Actions like letting them get government IDs and vote, but still considering them to be illegally in the country? That makes absolutely no sense to anyone with a functioning brain. Either they're legal, in which case they are entitled to services and participation; else they are illegal, and hence criminals to be hunted down and expelled.
Not that Europe is doing a helluva lot better job, with our African illegals. Must be something in the water.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

Until Trump was elected, illegal immigration was a distraction presented to the citizens by the government. In reality, the establishment was ok with it. The democrats, because they hoped for new voters once the amnesty and citizenship path was complete. The republicans, because their 1%er clientele got cheap and compliant labor. The catholic church, because the new Americans would make up for dwindling attendance.
Well, at least many of the illegals in the US are doing productive work. Your nafris in Europe are selling crap on the street, until they graduate to pushing dope or terrorist attacks.
