One glaring problem with this promise - according to that pesky Constitution, all spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. So any amendment that promises to spend more money than is already appropriated is meaningless unless the House includes the same language in their bill. If the House passes a bill without the extra spending, they can’t just insert the Senate language into the conference report. So we never get the additional spending, but the amnesty gets passed anyway. No thanks!
However, the HOUSE keeps the cookie jar.
