Additionally, border crossings are at a 46 year low, so why declare an emergency now?[3]
Come on... you know.
There is an election coming up and he knows if he hasn't delivered on his biggest campaign promise he will not stand a chance.
He has lost much of his base and he is not doing anything to recruit new fans.
Last night the house voted to overturn his stupid decision.
"And a big majority of the big drugs -- the big drug loads don't go through ports of entry."

Great there's no ""military threat on the southern border"" 😀
But there's plenty of other threats like smuggling and other illegal stuff.
Red Herring story 😀
Millions of people getting sucked into the MSM BS 😀
The pay-offs to politicians and officials are in the millions too especially Democrats 😎

Did you not read my post? According to Trumps own government there are almost no drug smugglers crossing the border any where other than the ports of entry.

The General is quite right.
There is no serious military threat from either Mexico (who are a US ally) or the cartels.
However Security does not equal Military.

So you're saying drugs aren't seized at locations we have little to no presence at? This is my shocked face.

Asked if it is a national emergency, he said, it is a “national issue” that requires a “whole-of-government approach.”

So you’re saying that just because you believe it to be happening we should spend billions of dollars on a wall? Literally, no proof other than your personal belief that crazed psycho Mexican drug lord rapists are crossing the border at some extremely remote secret desert location that no one in law enforcement knows exist like it’s the autobahn?

what are you, 12?
What % of the border has a security barrier
Do you believe there are enough resources to put 1 person on every square meter of open border?
So yes, there are large open paths that people are and have been crossing for quite some time. If there were NOT these large gaps - then there'd be no problem, there'd be no need for resources, drones, border patrols etc.

Sounds more and more echo-ey here all the time. You can count the people who question Dear Leader's methods on one hand.

One of those reasons was that tons of drugs and illegal immigrants were pouring through the border. Yet, according to his own administration only a small percentage occurred between ports of entry.
Ok, so if there is only a small percentage "occurring between ports of entry,' then would stand to reason that the majority are not.
From your first source:
Clandestinely produced fentanyl is trafficked into the United States primarily from China and Mexico, and is responsible for the ongoing fentanyl epidemic.
Epidemic? Sounds like an emergency, no?
It's cool you found a couple of folks who disagree with Trump to support your own bias as well.
