There is immediately no softening on the road between the american president Donald Trump and the Democrats in the verbal war about a wall between the UNITED states and Mexico.
Trump has threatened to introduce national state of emergency. Thus he can grab the money for the wall, around 5.7 billion u.s. dollars, from the account that is set of to emergency relief efforts.
Vice-president Mike Pence have for a few hours ago, stressed that the president stands firm, writes the New York Times.
Thus, there is nothing that suggests that the long crisis in the UNITED states faces an immediate solution.
The public system in the country has partially been shut down since 22. december of last year. Hundreds of thousands of public servants have not been paid. Others are sent on leave.
the budget crisis has sparked demonstrations among the public employees who feel like hostages in the discussion about the wisdom of erecting a wall between the UNITED states and Mexico.
According to several u.s. media have Donald Trumps advisors strongly warned him against introducing the state of emergency. Among other things, has Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner, called on Trump to find other ways to get financed the wall.
the budget crisis in the UNITED states is the country’s second longest. Since Donald Trump on Thursday visited the border in McAllen, Texas, he stated the need to quickly get listed a wall.
– There will be crime in Iowa, in New Hampshire and in New York, if the wall is not being built, warned the Donald Trump.
the Democrats have until now been fixed in the flesh. They will under no circumstances spending a dollar on a wall between Mexico and the UNITED states.
– I’m not ready to introduce state of emergency yet, but if I have to, then I do it, the president said Thursday during the visit at the border crossing in Texas.
Niels Bjerre-Poulsen, associate professor at the Center for American Studies at the University of Southern denmark, denotes the whole problem as a rather convoluted legal discussion.
– It will be against all the principles of the constitution. To use the state of emergency in connection with natural disasters and such.
– If a president should just be able to ignore it completely by calling something a state of national emergency, when there is no acute crisis at the southern border, then it has serious consequences for the entire democratic process, if you can get away with it, says Niels Bjerre-Poulsen for Additional Magazine.
Niels Bjerre-Poulsen continues:
– Donald Trump says he has the right to do it, and that he could find to consider it. But I think there are people around him who will tell him that it will be a very serious step, and that it will be seen as a threat to the whole democratic process, if he did it.
