30 Hilarious Reactions To Trump Declaring A “National Emergency”
When you hear the term 'national emergency,' perhaps it brings to mind doomsday 'Day After Tomorrow' or 'Independence Day' scenarios - but in fact, there were 31 active national emergencies ongoing in the U.S until recently and most people probably didn't know. Which is why when President Donald Trump declared the 32nd national emergency in an ongoing battle for his U.S-Mexico border wall, he didn't get the response he expected.
Saturday Night Live responded with a classic Alec Baldwin parody sketch of the announcement and then Twitter took it from there. Online users tweeted out how they were surviving since the ominous declaration with the hashtag #NotesFromNationalEmergency and it is clear the nation is suffering from nothing short of a zombie apocalypse. Scroll down below to see how people are handling the end of days and don't forget to upvote your favs!
The National Emergencies Act of 1976 was signed by President Gerald Ford. Every six months the House and the Senate are to review the declaration to see if it’s still necessary. Both chambers of Congress can pass a joint resolution to end national emergencies.

They go by different names, right? You got world religion and mythology that’s full of mentions of demons or spirit creatures. People who’ve actually seen these creatures almost always describe their encounter as this, as with an entity that takes on a form of your worst fears, or your deepest sadness, or your greatest loss... TRUMP.
Thoughts and prayers for all the poor chickens being attacked by the tumbleweed menace!
By the time the dotard is going to leave the White House, the GOP will suddenly push for laws to limit the powers of the next Democratic president. Imagine that there will be a new tax reform where rich people actually do have to pay taxes.
I need to know, no matter how it hurts......were there any bags of original flavor left?
I always knew the day would come, but I never thought they'd actually go through with it! Spam has been deemed a controlled substance, only for sale to those with a prescription. I dread the day my stockpile is exhausted and I'm forced to turn tricks to get my jelly covered meat fix. Well played Trump. Well played.
Geiger you're ignorant, not funny. Obama new all fifty. Trump only knows one RUSSIA
And off to bed at 6:30pm with my cheeseburgers. Be sure to lock the door too!
Trump declares that this is a national emergency. Then follows with the comment, I didn't have to do this (declare a national emergency) right now. He can't keep up with his own crazy.
My opinion - from reading is that Mexicans (legal or not) are incredibly hard working in the most menial jobs, particularly in affluent areas where the local people wouldnt dream of being a maid or a gardener. They are individuals who just want to have jobs and work and live in a safe place - just like anyone else. Calling them "Illegals" when all they want is to come in legally demeans them as people and is actually offensive.
I think your description of them as hardworking in menial jobs and happy to scuttle around and do our "dirty work" is a bit demeaning. They aren't house elves. Think of it this way, if there weren't excess people clamoring for what you call undesirable work, perhaps some of these immigrants could command better compensation for their labor.
My personal experience is that most are very hard working, very dependable and have a very devious sense of humor. basically, we all get along well.
2-10-11 - Sorry, I didnt mean it to be in any way demeaning. Mexicans are obviously hard-working members of society in whatever position. However, much of what is portrayed of Mexican immigrants is in lower-paid jobs. I didnt call work "undesirable". If someone needs a job then any job is desirable. What IS demeaning is Trump citing the high crime levels in Mexico and Latin America as a reason not to allow these people entry. This is what most of them are actually trying to escape from.
Sorry John - they are NOT illegals until they sneak in. Let them in legally - crisis over. Cheaper than Trump's white elephant.

That's true diane. And millions of them 'sneak in' ...... so, the crimes they then commit become reality.

Also, I'd love to see you and the rest of the dumbass BP brigade use your same blithe comebacks with parents of actual Americans killed by illegal aliens......see how they fly with those grieving parents. Yep, just a manufactured crisis. A white elephant as you put it.
Listen, any of you insulting "John Smith"...I disagree with him the same that you do, but please do not stoop down to the level of Trump-like name-calling and insults! Disagree respectfully and intelligently so that we don't stoop down to their level!

ANY crime committed by an illegal alien in American is crime that shouldn't happen here.

American citizens are killed and injured by illegal aliens. 'Caravans' of illegals arrive regularly demanding entry. I'd say that qualifies as a national emergency. MAGA !!
I'm more likely to be murdered by a psycho, white trash Trump worshiper like you than any immigrant.
Pure nonsense. Lol!!!!
Oh look, another trump troll who isn't intelligent enough to understand how asylum works. How very unique!
These were brilliant. The REAL emergency is that Trump is able to declare a National Emergency over a fence
Well put. He is the cranky old man who keeps kids toys, and votes the playground be another drug store parking lot!

See what Dave Rogers did there? He has conflated victims of crime by illegals with victims of crimes by Americans. The point of course is that ANY crime committed by illegals is crime that shouldn't happen....Crime that can and should be prevented. Dave's 'argument' sadly is the same dumbass strawman argument used by most liberal twats. SAD !
You're missing the point, which of course you are, you're a fucking idiot. The point is, on a day to day basis, it's an actual FACT that I'm very very unlikely to be hurt by any immigrant. I am, however, more likely to be killed by gun violence from an American. You Trumpers love to look the other way when it comes to American violence. You're 100% unwilling to stop people from owning guns, even if they're mentally ill or have a history of violence. You're A-okay with people dying, so long as it's at the hands of an American. You fucking hypocrites spend 24 hours a day crying and whining about immigrants, when the fact of the matter is, you just fucking hate brown people and don't want them in the country.

diane doesn't like to contemplate American citizens killed and injured by illegal aliens. MAGA !
John doesn't like to contemplate facts. Ever. John doesn't care about the thousands of people killed by American citizens every year.
Illegal immigrants works mostly for Americans.. do the police arrest those American as well ? I am asking a question. I don't know about the procedure . So asking
What happened to American history - of being a haven for the poor and disposessed of the world? A huge country. Did the US refuse to accept millions from Africa? Did it barricade against the Irish escaping from starvation during the Irish famine? Did it barricade against those coming to seek their fortune in the Gold Rush? . Did it barricade against the Italians and the Eastern Europeans?? did it barricade against the Jews seeking shelter from persecution? did the US barricade against the Scots - from whom Trump is descended (along with German heritage?). Trump is plain racist - he does not want people of Spanish/Mexican decsent making a new life in the US
Yes to all of those? That's why basing immigration on whether one group is ok because they are friendly, hardworking (at menial jobs) and light brown is problematic, a potential immigrant can be the biggest hose bag you'd care to meet, but if they meet the qualifications, they should be able to get in LEGALLY only.
arrest? not so much. Its usually some form of crime to knowingly hire somebody without a work permit, but I imagine that's more of a fee/fine type of a thing than jail time.

No they don't arrest those American employers of illegals...but they should.
