Counternarcotics work. its kind of ironic when hes claiming he needs to build a wall for both of those purposes. but, look, there is no emergency at the border. ive been there two times in the last year. illegal border crossings are down to a 40-year low. his own intelligence community when hey do the world threat assessment that identifies the greatest threats to the united states didnt even reference the southern border and certainly never said there was an emergency. so there is no emergency ...
