I just listened to the speech. He clearly stated he was reopening for three weeks to get people paid ASAP, AND.........for reasonable negotiation for the wall to continue but also made it clear. At the end of three weeks he "would use the power invested in me by the Constitution of the US.........and address this emergency".
If that that doesn't translate to .............either negotiate or I'm going to do it without you........I don't know what it is.
Time will tell. God Bless Steve
Steve, I hope you're right.
But, all I can remember is when congress told Reagan if he'd sign that amnesty bill into law, that congress would reform immigration laws and close the border with all sorts of security.
