Obama has officially requested $3.7 billion in emergency funds for the border crisis with $1.6 billion going to the DOJ and DHS, $1.8 billion for Health and Human Services and $300 million for the State Department.
Obama caused this crisis and did so intentionally. We have proof that this was a planned event that was prepared for at least as early as this past January. We’ve even had a border agent defy gag orders to expose this as an intended operation.
Now Obama will flood federal agencies with cash in order to beef them up with more personnel, arms and paramilitary units. Very little of this money will be used to actually handle the crisis – these illegals are here to stay.
“Today, I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed emergency supplemental appropriations request. . .to comprehensively address this urgent humanitarian situation,” President Obama said in a letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).
The administration’s comprehensive strategy represents a “super-aggressive deterrence and enforcement strategy,” a senior administration official told reporters, speaking on a conference call on condition of anonymity to provide more details.
Breaking down the White House’s $3.7 billion requestThe request also will include an additional $615 million to help the federal government fight wildfires.
Administration officials had previously said that they would be requesting more than $2 billion to help stem the recent surge of women and children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors and 39,000 women with children have been apprehended on the southern border this year, far more than in past years.

I bet they can not tell you who will be spending the money or what it was spent on . Have you ever noticed that Federal agencies never get AUDITED. only the American taxpayer is Audited.
kick this dog out of office!
He will bankruptcy the country
What part of that $ will go to securing the border?? Zero you say? Correct!!
Wasting money on his failure !!
Yeah and I’m still trying to get a job since Feb., plus my sister just got layed off by the government in WA due to lack of money. Americans need jobs, education, and secured borders. We are NOT only a broke nation but an unsecure one as well. $4 BILLION does NOT solve any of this, but makes it worse–MUCH worse.
He is a damn devil.
Hell no send them home
Look at that chicken —-grin on his face !!
Obama deliberately created this mess, let HIM pay for it. And cut off ALL foreign aid to EVERY country who’s illegal aliens are crossing our borders.
