What I think is that Trump continues his talk of an emergency, even though it is not real, and he gave several false or misleading statements. The Democrats stuck to the facts.

From the Princeton historian Kevin Kruse:
"Here’s a thought experiment:
Imagine if Obama hadn’t gotten the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, even with Democrats in full control of Congress.
Imagine if Obama then made the ACA the central focus in the midterms, but Dems lost 40 seats and control of the House anyway.
Then imagine he demanded billions to fund it anyway, even though Congress and voters had just rejected the idea.
Imagine if Obama then shut down the government when Boehner and the Tea Party Republicans refused to fund it too.
Now imagine that, weeks into a government shutdown of his own making, Obama then said he was thinking about declaring a national emergency to fund it anyway, and that as president he had the right to do that whenever Congress refused to do what he wanted.
Imagine what the reaction from congressional Republicans and conservatives on Fox News would be."
I missed the speech also. "Narcos" was on Netflix. But I heard tell. It's interesting to me how carefully crafted some of the sentences were to be misleading but not outright false. They are so revealing in that you can tell what is true by what the president avoids saying. That doesn't happen when he speaks from the cuff where he lies without precision.

Sean,
The thought experiment fails because the President is Commander in Chief of our common defense... Not healthcare czar...
Moving military equipment around and setting up defensive boundaries seems to fall right into the President's wheel house.
How long until Trump declares a national emergency? I say within a week.
How long will it take for courts to say he can´t do that? a few months.
"National emergency" is undefined in federal law. The President has the power to declare it, and then Congress and the Courts have oversight.
And if you're talking about "common defense", a heckuva lot more people die because they don't have health insurance than because of actions by undocumented people.
I am not sure one can defend from natural causes.
