Bush budget: more for border patrol, none to jail illegal aliens
February 6, 2006

From this:

For the third straight year, President Bush has proposed eliminating hundreds of millions of dollars in federal reimbursements to states to help with the cost of jailing illegal immigrants who commit crimes. California is the top beneficiary of the program.

The reimbursement program is called SCAAP ("State Criminal Alien Assistance Program"). See "Feds paid $2 billion/year to jail criminal aliens" and "Bush refuses to pay for the trouble he causes". California pays at least $750 million to jail illegal aliens, and has only got part of that back from the feds.

UPDATE: As an extra special gift to the Americans, Bush included something else in his budget: $247 million for his "temporary" worker scheme.

Are there any Federal Prisons in California? Maybe all the illegals should be put in Federal Prisons. Then the Federal Government would have to pay for their incarceration. I wish.

That is sheer arrogance... as there is no program to vote on, so why fund it ahead of time.

Has anyone told the President we already HAVE a guest worker program...?
