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.”

    illegal immigration is at a long time low. Border crossings are at a long time low. Seems to me they HAVE been doing their job. There is no emergency. If the Republicans truly view this as an emergency, you would think they would have done something while they had a majority in both houses and the presidency for two years. But they didn't. They waited until they lost the House and many seats in the Senate before trying to act.

    Ask yourself why.

    Citations needed. Unless, of course, you are merely parroting what some talking head said on the liberal mainstream media news. Five dead bodies per week in Pima county, Arizona doesn't seem an "all time low".
