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.

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?

No, the USA should open up its borders and let in more immigrants. Diversity and compassion are a strength.
@B3534WX3wks3W
Yes, but only if we focus on working with the Mexican government to take down the cartels and other malevolent actors both in Mexico and Central and South America.
@B32H2TG4wks4W
The one's that are committing crimes should be sent back, but the other one's don't deserve to be deported.
@B2YLFK94wks4W
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.
@B2WMTV81mo1MO
Only when the time arrives, and by that I mean when actual criminal immigrants are entering the country
