Congress Not Bound to Fund Future Border Security Promises
Breitbart.com ^ | 6/23/13 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 06/23/2013 11:21:47 AM PDT by paltz

Members of Congress who promise that money will be spent on efforts to secure the border conveniently withhold the fact that one Congress cannot bind a future Congress to appropriate funds mandated by already established laws. Such a practice is known as legislative entrenchment and courts have long upheld this position. If a future Congress does not want to appropriate funds to hire more border agents or build 700 miles of fencing, those lawmakers can opt not to appropriate funds for the effort. measures.

This is a total scam.

It is being rushed (rushed!) in the hope they can pass it, before we figure out it does nothing to improve border security.

Nothing.

Stop Amnesty.

Tell congressmen we don’t want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obama’s plan.

Please sign their petition to require the Speaker to honor the ‘Hastert Rule’! If the Senate passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, it will be important that the House refuses to pass any immigration legislation in 2013! Stop the amnesty legislation!”

I’ll bet there are at least 100 such facts that could be listed here if only we knew them all.

Thanks for the list. Folks need to know this stuff.

This whole “border security” amendment fiasco is nothing but the communist DemocRATS peeing on our legs and telling us that it’s raining. The whole Gang of 8 “immigration reform” is a joke on the American people. It’s just a way for the communist DemocRATS to remain in power forever by bringing in foreign freeloaders to vote for them. Any American who backs this bill is a blithering idiot who does not care about this country.

Same process as Obamacare. And probably a similar result.

The gang of eight traitors and their co-conspirators in the congress have no intent of securing the borders. Ever.

The corrupt politicians started robbing social security back when JFK was president and are not paying it back. I guess federal retirement system promises mean nothing to them either.

Why do they hate America’s traditions and the

rule of law? Years ago, people were in front of a firing squad just not staying true to the Union army. Is this where we are heading again. This bill is another lie and takeover.

The so-called border security surge is a red herring. Of course the promise to secure the border won’t be honored. It’s simply a prop to which the GOP can point in rationalizing/justifying/explaining amnesty and immunity for illegals when going back to their home districts to run for re-election. It’s clear there’s little-to-no difference between the DemoQuacks and the GOP. It’s time for a third party with conservative principles, and enough of maintaining the illusion that there’s a difference between the two establishment parties.

Good point. When Speaker Boehner says ObamaCare is the “law of the land,” he seems to forget that the part that needs funding only is law until it doesn’t get funding.

They don't enforce the parts of current immigration law they don't like, why would they enforce the parts they don't like in a new immigration law?

Unless the border is secured BEFORE they get anything else they want it NEVER will be secured.

This situation didn't arise by accident, they set out to destroy our national sovereignty by intent.
