The spending bill has already been written. But the current bill only gave 1.3 billion to border security while Trump wants 5.6 billion. Personally I think the 50 billion for a wall is bs. 5.6 billion should be enough if you budget correctly. 

If the democrats don't agree to increase border spending then yeah I'd like to see the emergency route so the government can open up.

The Dems are more then happy to give him funding for boarder security, they are not going to give a dime to the wall

I believe you will get your wish because I see nothing so far that will make the Dems fold and Trump really has not offered anything but demands.  As long as the polls favor the Dems, why would the move on this issue.  Playing the National Emergency card has a lot of risk and if it fails he will look even worst.  Its the whole reason he keeps the threats without pulling the trigger.  Anyway, I am tried of him making the threat, he should pull the trigger and let see what happens.  

In the spending bill he wants them to increase the amount of money used on border security so that it can go to a wall. The funny thing is that back in 2013 democrats pushed foward a bill that would build a 700 mile border fence in the southern border and every Democratic senator voted for it.
