What’s upsetting is 0bama exacerbated the problem and took a 2008 law that was intended for one thing and expanded it to include masses of children. In other words, 0bama created the problem for political reasons.
I would guess nothing being done before the election except this may be large enough of a problem that congress will actually do something now even if it’s the wrong thing to do.
The bottom line? 0bama creates the problem and then offers a solution for the problem he created and there’s no guarantee 0bama will spend the money for what 0bama said was needed to be done. And, no matter what happens, when it gets worse the blame is on Republicans.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The money is not the issue. The Dems and the GOPe want a vehicle to use for comprehensive immigration reform. The appropriation bill will be that vehicle.
