I would say mass shootings and gun violence are a greater threat to national security

He cannot hire “cheap” help any more (transparency problem)... he’ll have to pay local workers more for the same work....that is an emergency.

Get him out. The Republican party is worthless. Instead of doing USA citizen's business, they are constantly covering up his crimes. Vote them out!

along the lines of, we have a Russian asset working in the Oval Office who is under a counter intelligence investigation.

Wish that we the citizens, had a emergency button.

1. He's hired undocumented workers illegally in the past. https://www.factcheck.org/2016/02/factchecking-the-10th-gop-debate/

2. The rate of undocumented persons illegally entering the U.S. has been in a decline. DHS estimated that the growth of the illegal immigrant population had slowed considerably, saying the population increased by 470,000 per year from 2000 to 2007, but only by 70,000 per year from 2010 to 2015. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/illegal-immigration-statistics/

3. If it's an emergency, why hasn't he done something about it already?

a "national emergency".

It is to THEM because they are about to be demographically outnumbered (if they're not already).

doesn't seem to understand that if it was in fact a "national emergency" then it was incumbent upon him as the President to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" by addressing this "national emergency" as his first order of business back when he had both houses of Congress to support him...

TWO. YEARS. AGO.

So was it nonfeasance then or is it yet another load of pure bullshit now?
