This letter was entered in the Record at S1410:

 

Illegal border crossings are near forty-year

lows.

โ€“

There is no documented terrorist or na-

tional security emergency at the southern bor-

der.

โ€“

There is no emergency related to violent

crime at the southern border.

โ€“

There is no human or drug trafficking emer-

gency that can be addressed by a wall at the

southern border.

โ€“

This proclamation will only exacerbate the

humanitarian concerns that do exist at the

southern border.

โ€“

Redirecting funds for the claimed โ€˜โ€˜national

emergencyโ€™โ€™ will undermine U.S. national secu-

rity and foreign policy interests.

โ€“

The situation at the border does not require

the use of the armed forces, and a wall is unnec-

essary to support the use of the armed forces.

โ€“

There is no basis for circumventing the ap-

propriations process with a declaration of a na-

tional emergency at the southern border.

โ€“

Respectfully submitted,

Signed/*

Sure.

The Democrats do not allow debate to close on bills the Republicans want.

It takes sixty Senators for a cloture vote, except for nominees.

With nominees the Democrats require a cloture got, 4 days for each nominee.

Epic obstructionism.

Other than that, the Republican Senate seemsxquite loyal to MAGA.

McConnell is doing a fantastic job, media concern fagging notwithstanding.

No president has had nearly as many nominees turned back, 128 for Trump vs 12 or something for the next closest.
