Well, so much for "small government" Conservatism. Seems that's only a thing with the other side is overstepping executive reach.
As far as the wall goes, the disconnect is that the wall does not equal border security. Saying people who oppose the wall oppose border security is disingenuous, and that's being kind. Furthermore, in order for many people to support and expensive solution to something, there needs to be evidence of a real problem. Not prayer rugs found in the desert, and talk of rapists, and calling what's happening at the southern border an "invasion". Facts. If facts show there to be a dire emergency, then take appropriate action. The fact is: they don't. So it's a double dose of horseshit: that there is a dire problem, and that the Wall is a solution for the supposed issue (it isn't).
The courts will now be involved, and that's probably fine as far as Trump cares. He's doing this for votes and support. If the wall never gets built, he did his best, and even has the added bonus of being able to point at opposition for it and lie that they "don't support border security."
This sucks for anyone who thinks the executive has too much power as it is. It truly sucks. It tells me that if a truly intelligent dictator wanted to grab the reigns here, we'd bend right over and take it. We are lucky that Trump is too moronic to get out of his own way (so far).
