President Peaches will declare a national emergency. It will be challenged in court and he'll lose that battle, it will be his undoing.

Trump lied again (no surprise) when he claimed the wall is being built right now "though nobody has reported it".
Here's the facts;
There's 1,954 miles of border between the U.S. and Mexico. Of that, 650 miles already have a barrier of some sort. 125 miles of that existing wall have been authorized to be replaced and of that 125 miles, 41 have already been replaced, 61 are in the process of being replaced. There will be, as of February, 14 new miles of wall that's been authorized by Congress. But when Trump says, "we're building walls, there's new walls going up", this is an absolute provable lie. Even if what he lied about was happening it would be illegal because it hasn't been approved by Congress. As much as Trump thinks he can do whatever he wants to do, he cannot do it without appropriations from the U.S. Congress.
When Trump talks about the wall, what he's really describing is existing repairs being done to existing fencing and ongoing existing levi projects - that's his definition of 'the wall'. When it comes to a national emergency he's going to have a very difficult time proving it's a genuine national emergency in court. Even if he declares a national emergency he's still going to have to fund it.

In 2006, These Democrats Still in Office Voted to Build a Wall
November 21, 2016
Editor’s note: During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Sen. Chuck Schumer declared, “We’re not going to help [Trump] build his wall.” Schumer was one of the Democrats to support construction of a wall in 2006.
Democrats are already grumbling about Donald Trump’s proposed border wall, though Barack Obama and other leaders in their party voted not so long ago for George W. Bush’s proposal to build a major wall on the border with Mexico.
Two-thirds of the Republican-led House approved the bill, including 64 Democrats, and 80 of 100 senators approved the bill in the Senate.
Then-Sens. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton were among the 26 Democrats who approved the bill. Supporters also included Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is set to take over leadership of the Senate for Democrats in 2016.
Other Democrats in the Senate who voted for the wall in 2006 are Sens. Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio—then in the House), Tom Carper (Del.), Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Barbara Mikulski (Md.), Bill Nelson (Fla.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), and Ron Wyden (Ore.).
There are also a number of Democrat representatives still in the House who voted for the bill: Sanford Bishop (Ga.), Corrine Brown (Fla.), Michael Capuano (Mass.), Jim Cooper (Tenn.), Jim Costa (Calif.), Peter DeFazio (Ore.), Steve Israel (N.Y.), Ron Kind (Wis.), Daniel Lipinski (Ill.), Stephen Lynch (Mass.), Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.), Bill Pascrell Jr. (N.J.), Collin Peterson (Minn.), C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (Md.), Tim Ryan (Ohio), and Adam Smith (Wash.).
Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank and now-disgraced former Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner also voted for the bill.
Bush signed the bill into law Oct. 26, 2006. “This bill will help protect the American people,” he said. “This bill will make our borders more secure.”

Bush signed the proposal into law in 2006, after it was passed by huge bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate.
