“To justify his plan to deploy at least 20,000 U.S. troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, President Trump has declared a ‘national emergency,’ which is the time-honored way that rulers acquire omnipotent, totalitarian-like powers. Trump’s ‘national emergency’ is based on his repeated claim that illegal immigrants are ‘invading’ the United States. It is a claim that was regularly repeated by Trumpsters during the four years of the Biden administration. But Trump is wrong. His claim of an ‘invasion’ is just a great big power grab, one that enables him to acquire and exercise dictatorial powers.” (01/27/25)
