Obama will get the money.

The money will just gradually disappear. (Like the $900 Billion Stimulus slush fund republicans supplied him with)

Obama will report that great progress is being made.

The illegals will just vanish into the USA interior.

The illegal border crossings will increase.

Obama will say it is because the republicans didn’t give him enough money the first time.

So what he really wants to do is stem deportations and speed border crossings.

No need for more money. Just block remittitances to Mexico, cut off tourism, and demand they close their southern border to illegal alien immigrants to US, and the whole flow will end.

The fact that they even feel a need to say this is very telling. I suspect the Democrats are putting a lot of pressure on him because they are afraid of a disaster on Election Day this coming November.

I believe this is a request for us to finance our own destruction.

Kind of odd announcing things like this on a Saturday. They probably won’t do anything, or it is a bad-faith “offer,” but the fact they announce this on a Summer’s Saturday is telling.

It’s all out tyranny by the EXECUTIVE branch .. but it's being done by departments led by the Executive Branch .
Since ICE was advertizing for "ESCORTS" for unocumented aliens back in January 2014, they knew about it and implemented it.
Since Homeland INSECURITY refuses to do their job, or even track the illegals, take all expenses out of their budgets.
Since Dept. of " JUST-US" refuses to support the Law of the Land , as presently constituted, they should share the financial burden.

Please note that all of these three Departments exist out of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH
then let them financially suffer from the 'CLOWARD-PIVEN' condition that they created , and implemented !
Criminal actions demand Criminal justice and consequence .
Let them tough it out financially with expenses !

The president will also ask Congress to revise existing statutes to give the Homeland Security secretary, Jeh Johnson, new authorities to accelerate the screening and deportation of young unaccompanied migrants who are not from Mexico

Dollars to donuts that "new" authority Jeh Johnson, will have LOTS of addendums that do the EXACT opposite...

1. why is $2B needed for this?

2. How much of the $2B goes to a wall? (probably zero)

3. How much of this involves payoffs to other countries.

I call BS

Let's be clear: three RINO senators voted for this crap. One of the became a Democrat and is now DEAD, the other is NO LONGER in the Senate, and the other one is a pro-sodomite liberal.

Real, conservative (and even most moderate) Republicans did NOT vote for the stimulus. And NOT ONE REPUBLICAN in the House of Representatives (led by John Boehner at the time as a minority in the House) voted for the stimulus.

What would Obama do with extra $2 billion that he can’t do now?

I think this President has a bright future driving the very overcrowded Clown car at Ringling Bros Big Top.

Obama’s propaganda minister ought to be fired. He has tens of thousands of illegal alien children to exploit and he is doing just a crappy job.

Two billion dollars to stem border crossings with a massive voter registration drive, no doubt.
