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.

Money wasting, no plan idiot, no amount of money will make him wise or give a damn about Americans enough ttime wasted on this farce!
Send them all back
No, he wants that money to continue to build up his private army. Somebody please rid us of this p**s ant.
And our vets are dying from lack of care, some children are hungry, we the people need jobs and I am sick of the 1.7% cost of living social security raise I have been getting for the past few years. My property taxes and food and gas prices are going up more then 1.7%. I want my money now that I need it.
GIVE HIM NOTHING !!!
No way!
This is so stupid. Reagan granted amnesty in the 80’s because of an immigration crisis right? Still had a problem. Fast forward Bush Sr., Clinton with a Republican house and Senate, Bush Jr. With a Republican house and Senate did nothing about immigration reform and now it’s all Obama’s fault? Do y’all seriously believe the mess being fed to you? No one has done anything about the “problem” because for big businesses it’s not a problem. Money talks.
Send them back to where they came from. We DO NOT OWE THEM ANYTHING. Any politician that votes for the money that the president wants…should themselves tried for treason through the courts and lose all benefits of their office. Then, vote them out of office. Patrick
Something he created as a diversion for terrorist and the drug cartels
