AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. CALL NATIONAL EMERGENCY, NOW!

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

Mr. President, do not listen to some of those in the White House and Senate like McConnell, when they say it would be wrong to call a National Emergency.  Some say that if you use it, that a Democratic president will use it when and if that take office. Mr. President, I offer that is a very shallow argument.

Firstly, you should not worry or even consider what a future president may due years from now. You are tasked to take care of  problems and issues affecting  America, RIGHT NOW.

Second,  past presidents had no qualms about using the constitutional right  to declare a national emergency. Fact is the national emergency was used  fifty- eight (58) times since the 1970s. So, it is not unusual or nothing new. Those currently around you who are griping, moaning and predicting the world will end if you call a national emergency are ONLY looking out for the status qo in Washington. Most  trying to convince you are long entrenched lawmakers both in the Republican and Democratic parties who are attempting to keep Washington  the same ol', same ol'.

Some of the past 58 national emergencies used by former presidents were for unwarranted things AND for OTHER COUNTRIES, Not America.

You have the right by acts of Congress and the constitution. The precedent  has already been set by former presidents. Do not worry about what future presidents might or might not do. You are in the HERE and NOW.  There clearly is a national emergency at our southern border. The constant flow of  caravans of migrants from all over the world will continue and grow in number as long as our immigration loopholes are not plugged-- beginning with a physical barrier (30 foot wall),as part of a complete immigration package.

Please do not  take the naysayers in Washington's advice. Use your own instincts. These are the same people that put you off  with excuses for two years and many  have been working against your policies over and over again. They DO NOT want your change in Washington. Do not let them snooker you once again--.  DECLARE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, obtain the money from the Defense Department and other agencies and send the "Military Corps of Engineers "to immediately build the barriers/wall on our southern border. Under the  bills that Congress passed regarding  national security, they gave the president the right to call up the military to construct the barriers on or sovereign borders.

I further submit that you should not concern yourself with a legal challenge in the 9th. circuit or anywhere else. If such a challenge is enacted you should immediately FAST TRACK the matter the  the United States Supreme Court. I think you know, as well as many legal scholars across this country --YOU WILL WIN, PERIOD.

I suggest the Washington crowd that do not want you to declare a national emergency are trying to frighten you by saying you will be presented with a legal challenge. However, these same people  might see the writing on the wall knowing they will lose before the Supreme Court and decide not to pursue such a folly. Mr. President, I believe you have an absolute right to call up the military and task them with constructing the wall/barriers and Congress or the courts cannot stop you.

I submit that once you declare a national emergency and have the military begin building the barriers or wall the  people filing legal challenges will have difficulty stopping it. And remember, the military can build the barriers and walls much, much faster that most any contractors. Fact is, our military have been building barriers and walls in other countries and setting borders for protection for decades.

So, the military knows how and what to do to secure a countries borders. They have did it hundreds (100's) of times before. Since they do have the experience of building walls and barriers for  many of these other countries around the world, I say,  it is time to TASK OUR MILITARY to secure the border of the United States. Mr. President, PULL THE TRIGGER on a national emergency I predict  that if you call a national emergency and BUILD the wall, you will be reelected with overwhelming support. However, if you fail to call the national emergency and build the wall or just settle for the repair of current and old fencing you will lose the election big time.  - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decision, You decide.
