Congress gave Both Obama & Bush for the wall. Where did that money go ? Because Trump will not line congress pocket, he will actually build that wall.. Just as he USA funded 3 other countries walls.

The same people that are opposing the wall are the same one that wanted it before Trump took office, get over with it already, build the wall. I’m tired of the elementary school antics.

The "hate Trump" syndrome is proving to be "hate America". These miscreants and scoundrels in Congress only care about power and money. Just look at Venezuela to see your future. Wake up America!

This problem has been ignored and shoved under the rug for over 4 1/2 DECADES (that's over 45 years!). If you had lived in So. Calif. during those years you would be aware.

If our country does not need a wall, then Pelosi and the rest of the Dems don't need one.

Because it costs to much money and it’s dangerous to let people come in without vetting process and it’s illegal!

This is one of his key points during the campaign for which he became president. We, me are proud of our President with balls to stand against these corrupt lying politicians.

Illegal immigration is a big and real problem that US has been facing for long. It gets worse each day as they bring along illegal commodities and evil intentions with them. This is why we need a wall

No because that would be caving into the Dictator Trump and his clown family that took over the WH

If you support Trump then you need to go back to school and get an education. There's no excuse for being dumb.

No emergency, situation at border is not as bad as it was 10 years ago. It would be an abuse of power and the court challenge would waste more time and money.

Declaring an emergency when there is no emergency won't occur even if he does try it. It will be tied up in the courts. It's just another ploy by this fraud of a president.

A wall will not stop people from trying to enter. They will tunnel under the wall of climb over it. Total waste of money

This isn't a dictatorship (yet). Most people feel a 5.7 BILLION wall is not cost effective. It is only a vanity wall!

The thing is...the real experts who are AT the border trying to protect the border say we need some more wall. You can't stop all the leaks, but the more you plug the easier their job is.

In spite of the lies of Trump, and the allegiance of his mindless followers, there is not "invasion" of our borders. The "threat" will be the lack of farm workers at harvest time.Look at Obama in 2012

I support the wall, but it has to be done right. If it's ABSOLUTELY necessary to give workers their money so they have food......MAYBE.

Hell no! His campaign promise was Mexico to pay but they say NO so his promises is nil and void. Most of us do not want the damn wall! Stop holding the Federal workers hostage!

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
