‘The Wire’s Gonna Trip Soon’: Biggs Says Trump ‘Seriously Considering’ Declaring Nat’l Emergency

Share:

Rep. Andy Biggs said Saturday night that President Trump is “seriously considering” declaring a national emergency over the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump told Sean Hannity this week he has “the absolute right” to make such a declaration if an agreement cannot be reached with congressional Democrats on funding for his proposed border wall.

“This is a national emergency, if you look what’s happening,” Trump said Thursday, during a visit to the border in McAllen, Texas.

Trump’s visit to the Lone Star State came just two days after his address to the nation, during which he described the situation at the southern border as a “humanitarian and security crisis.”

“The wire’s gonna trip soon,” Biggs (R-Ariz.) said on Watters’ World. “[House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and [Senate Minority Leader Charles] Schumer are not willing to negotiate at all.”

Biggs said that the “radicals” within the Democrat-controlled House aren’t willing to budge on Trump’s wall funding plan, and that the situation “is a real crisis.”

“President Obama declared [a national emergency] over Swine Flu, for Pete’s sake. I’m not saying that to diminish the seriousness of Swine Fflu, but we have people crossing our border by the thousands,” he said. – READ MORE
