Betrayal! GOP leaders commit taxpayer money to fund invasion of America with illegals and terrorists

Voters – Republicans and Democrats – have spoken. They want less immigration, not more, especially at a time when terrorist organizations are threatening to infiltrate our country by hiding among waves of refugees, and when illegal aliens are killing American citizens in their own cities.

But the political establishment of both parties doesn’t want to hear it. They have donors who want hordes of immigrants who will work for less money, so they get what American citizens don’t want through legalized bribery of our politicians.

That said, the political party most at fault for the coming invasion – yes, it has yet to fully arrive – is the Republican Party, whose voters sent them to Washington in large part to end the invasion. Why? Because GOP leaders in the House and Senate just delivered a massive omnibus spending package that fully funds each of President Obama’s immigration priorities – long after he leaves office.

Congress doesn’t HAVE to fund anything it doesn’t want to

As reported by The Washington Free Beacon, the spending bill that is expected to be approved by Congress provides more than $1.6 billion to resettle illegal immigrants who break into the U.S. through 2018.

The news site further noted:

“Congress would award the massive check to the government just as the U.S. is experiencing a surge in arrivals of immigrant children at the southern border. [Recently] federal agencies said they were opening two temporary shelters with 1,000 beds in South Texas to cope with the surge. A 400-bed shelter is also to be opened in Southern California.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Office of Refugee Resettlement at the Department of Health and Human Services has begun a process to expand its temporary capacity to house unaccompanied children,” the Department of Health and Human Services recently said in a statement.

The bill provides $1,645,201,000 through fiscal year 2018 “for necessary expenses for refugee and entrant assistance activities authorized by Section 414 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Section 501 of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980, and for carrying out section 462 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (‘TVPA’), section 203 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005, and the Torture Victims Relief Act of 1998,” according to released text[PDF] of the bill.

As reported by The Washington Post, U.S. government data showed that for October and November 10,500 unaccompanied immigration children crossed over the southwestern border with Mexico. That figure is more than double the number of unaccompanied minors who arrived during the same time period last year.

GOP lawmakers sent to oppose Obama on immigration

The WFB reported further:

“In the event that the new temporary shelters in Texas and California are not enough to account for the surge in migrants, HHS asked the Department of Defense [in recent days] to make plans for 5,000 more shelter beds to be made available. Those additional beds are not yet needed, an agency spokesperson said.”

But wait; if Congress passes legislation then it has an obligation to fully fund that legislation, right? Actually, no.

Congress has the power of the purse, so to speak; that is, Congress, in Article 1, Section 7, Clause 1 of the Constitution, has the sole authority to raise revenue, and in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 the obligation to spend only that money which was duly appropriated via various funding bills. There are some mandatory, non-discretionary line items in the budget, and they actually consist of the biggest portion of the budget pie (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid). But the rest of the money has to be appropriated, and if it’s not appropriated through spending bills, then by law a president cannot spend it.

When it comes to immigration, majority Republicans were sent to Congress to oppose the president, not to fund more of his spending.
