Declaring a national emergency at the Mexico border would grant the government special powers to address issues such as illegal immigration, drug trafficking, or border security. Proponents argue that a national emergency is necessary to rapidly allocate resources, strengthen border enforcement, and protect national security. Opponents argue that such a declaration could be an overreach of executive power, misrepresent the scale of the problem, and divert attention and resources from more effective, long-term solutions.

Yes, the illegal immigration crisis is threatening our country and its borders. We need to declare a national emergency and urge immediate action to deport all the illegals and stop any further illegal border crossing into our country. The Latin Americans and Hispanics are bring their poverty and other problems to us.

No, we’re not at war. Illegal Immigration would probably slow down if the process to become a citizen in the U.S. didn’t take so long. Drugs are everywhere in the U.S. and don’t just come from Mexico. Also if people want to take drugs and potentially kills themselves, that’s on them as long as it’s not forced on anyone.

The one's that are committing crimes should be sent back, but the other one's don't deserve to be deported.

they should hold e very Mexican at the boarder until the population in America settles down to a number that allows a decent amount of yearly Mexicans.
@B2YLFK91wk1W
Not necessarily, I feel like we need to be more worried and focused on the illegal immigrants who are criminals and are hurting our nation.
@B2WMTV81wk1W
Only when the time arrives, and by that I mean when actual criminal immigrants are entering the country
@B2WFWZF2wks2W
Yes, the government's only duty is to protect it's citizens. Border security is national security. If random people can just hop across the border, what would stop our adversaries from sending spies across the border?
@9992HTR 2wks2W
No, the USA should open up its borders and let in more immigrants. Diversity and compassion are a strength.
