I can understand "border security"...but a wall? Shutdown over a wall? State of emergency over a wall?

There have been border issues for generations...this isn't an emergency....

This isn't 9/11 or something new. It's same old..same old...yet Trump is trying to make it sound like, "big bad new". This kinda stuff was going on in the 70s...(I was born in 1956) I think there are people older than me that remember other issues.

I just don't see how this sells.
