Eeking back out on the limb here and then I have to go. I think it's a full on set up and I think he knew he was going to do this. Reasons--he said months and months ago that the military could build the wall. I believe I linked to that statement on a thread. I think he's had this in his back pocket for a while now.
Stand back and look at it.
He hopes that Democrats will acquiesce to his demands, they don't, he paves the way by putting the national emergency bug in the public ear (gins up his base), hot foots it down to the border to return to say it's a 'total disaster' or 'who knew it could be this bad?' and declares the state of emergency and puts the thing behind him.
Either that or he's flying by the seat of his pants but at this point I think otherwise because Stephen Miller.
Okay, I'm gone. I just wanted to get my prediction in.
This is probably what it will take to end shutdown

Kmn.
Washington (CNN)White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said furloughed federal workers who are not getting paid during the partial government shutdown are "better off" because they didn't have to use vacation days.
"Huge share of government workers were going to take vacation days, say between Christmas and New Year's. And then we have a shutdown and so they can't go to work, and so then they have the vacation but they don't have to use their vacation days," Hassett told PBS during an appearance on "NewsHour."

How did this result from Trump? a Trump policy? the shutdown? border security? or any other Republican affiliated reason you want to staple it to?
and then explain how Pelosi would have made it impossible for a TSA lapse?
But first, prove your posts aren't as stupid as they appear because you were pointing out stuff like this under Obama, like in June of 2015 when - "TSA Chief Out After Agents Fail 95 Percent of Airport Breach Tests" - or that there have +25000 breaches through TSA since 2001 - or this tidbit from 2012 " On average, only half of the security breaches at six of the country’s major airports were reported to and corrected by the Transportation Security Administration during a 16-month period, according to a federal investigation launched after a series of lapses at Newark Liberty International Airport."
just stop.
