MR. PRESIDENT, DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY DURING STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Jut today the  media reported the Democrats said  they will not provide any funding for a wall or barrier, even if President Trump re-opened the government for three weeks. Politics at its best, folks.

Personally, I wouldn't trust the Democrats  saying they will discuss "security at the border" if the president re-opened the government for  three weeks. Why? Because in the past when Republicans agreed to discussions on various issues, especially immigration, the Democrats always reneged  on their promise to come to some sort of compromise.

I would predict  that if the president gave in and re-opened the government for three(3)weeks, the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi would then say after three(3) weeks "Since you re-opened the government it would  be wrong to shut it back down. Before the president considers re-opening the government he should obtain in writing and public agreement from the Democrats that if they could not come to an agreement after the  three weeks. The government will shut down once again  without any objections from the Democrats. That in my opinion, would be the only way for the president to consider  re-opening the government. However, since Pelosi and  the Democrats are  adamant about not  even considering the wall or barrier in discussions  I believe it would be a waste of time on  the administrations part. 

Finally, I would like to request that the president go ahead and give the State of the Union address on January 29th. He could give the address from the southern border, the oval office or before Congress and when he does he should do at least two things as he makes his case before  people of the nation.

First, stress the need for a border wall and the national security aspects of the border wall. Touch on the numerous caravans forming and moving  from Central America and the problems those caravans bring with it, (i.e.) the crime, the diseases, the dangers to those in the caravans, and the toll illegal immigration places on on our countries resources and programs we have already set up to care for or own citizens.

We cannot  continue  to absorb 50,000 plus illegal aliens or asylum seeks a  month flooding into our country.

Second, If the Democrats do not come to the table for for discussions which will include the border wall,  the president should  take the opportunity during his State of the Union speech to declare a "NATIONAL EMERGENCY "and tell the people of this country why he is doing so and should lay out the reasons why, including the lack of cooperation by the Democrats and that the Dem's had three weeks already to negotiate a deal, but DIDN'T.  So, three weeks more would not do any good.- And, that's my opinion. Make up your own mind. You decide.
