Senate panel seeks $2.28 billion to aid immigrant children

(Reuters) - A Senate panel, responding to what President Barack Obama calls an "urgent humanitarian situation," on Tuesday advanced legislation significantly increasing funds to handle a surge of foreign children entering the United States illegally.

Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, included up to $2.28 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to feed and shelter the estimated 130,000 minors expected to arrive in the fiscal year that begins on Oct. 1.

That is up from the $868 million that Congress urgently provided this year to handle an estimated 60,000 undocumented children who will leave their homes in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and other countries and travel to the United States without their parents or other relatives.

A Senate aide familiar with the issue told Reuters appropriators also intend to have a "significant" increase in funds for the Department of Homeland Security next year. That agency is initially in charge of the unaccompanied minors when they are caught by federal agents, most often at the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas by the Mexican border.

Obama calls an “urgent humanitarian situation,”

Or as others call it another Fast and Furious scan two.

You can thank Eric Cantor and his upcoming "Kids Act" for the influx.

Anytime any politician says ...”It’s for the children”...or “for Citizens health”......you better believe a fast track money heist is soon ahead.

This didn’t just “happen” overnight. This is being orchestrated by this lawless administration. It’s time for impeachment.

I don’t want to spend One F’n dime on these illegal alien kids. No one told them to come here and since there coming here let them support themselves or have their damned parents care for them.

Just get them the hell out of this country.

Yep....and there is simply nothing to stop this....just as everything Obama does now...overwhelm the system is his agenda on everything...from ramming congress for Obama care...to orchestrating swarm of illegals...either way he’s “changing the face of this nation” to reflect his face at any cost.

When he’s done...he’ll bask in the sunlight on some foreighn beach while we clean up the mess...which at the rate he’s doing things...may not be possible for decades..and he knows this.

I still am stunned that our nations people do nothing to stop this...where are we as citizens???

It’s no longer enough to March to WAshington...unless we do our own coup...and nobody’s willing to give their life in that fashion to day. So as i see it Obama will continue to ruin this country until he’s finished and all we can do is dig in and wait it out. Every other effort has proven a dead end...and congress simply blows wind.

We are law abiding and pray for a political solution. It’s looking less likely.

Yes...

they do let them loose.

We are ‘now’ a lawless nation under this administration......and we no longer have representation in Congress. The Pres. is wacked...and so are our representatives.

...”We are law abiding and pray for a political solution. It’s looking less likely”....

Well that depends on who the we is. Our government isn’t...our courts make laws as they go...the people sit still and out most cry Uncle.

I’m frankly rather tired of all the talk...and until something looks as if there’s a way out of this mess the most we can do is dig in and wait it out til the election...and I have no great hope in that either.
