Most of Obama's "National State of Emergencies" were for actions in countries other than America. The problem being caused by Illegal aliens here in our own country seem more important. If congress would've done their job when the Republicans held a majority in both houses, or do it now, instead of trying to stop anything Trump wants, the national emergency wouldn't be necessary. And it shouldn't be necessary. The immigrants dying trying to cross the border, the girls being brutalized during the harrowing trek, in addition to the strain it's putting on our border officers, prison systems and American citizens being assaulted/murdered to me constitutes an emergency.

The arrests include allegations of more than 1 million drug crimes, a half-million assaults, 133,800 sex offenses and 24,200 kidnappings. Even more serious, the imprisoned illegal immigrants, over a five-year period, had been arrested for 33,300 homicide-related offenses and 1,500 terrorism-related crimes.
In terms of cost, federal taxpayers shelled out more than $15 billion during the period studied — or $2.5 billion a year — to keep criminal aliens behind bars in federal, state and local facilities.
Many are repeat offenders. Of about 146,500 criminal aliens who finished a federal prison term, about one in six — around 24,800 — already had been imprisoned again at least once.
