Obama to Give Central American Countries $250 Mil to Send More Illegals

Officially this money is supposed to discourage illegal immigration, in reality it sends the message that if a lot of illegal aliens from your country come and create a crisis, the United States will send you huge piles of money.

It encourages the very behavior that it claims to be discouraging.

The White House announced $254.6 million in new aid for Central American countries today.

The money will go toward returning unaccompanied minors who travel to the U.S. illegally to their families and fostering youth centered programs in their home countries, the White House said this afternoon.

The assistance to the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras announced today is in addition to the $130 million in aid the U.S. already provides those countries in economic assistance.

And the governments are reacting entirely predictable… with more blackmail demands.

“As long as (U.S.) immigration reform is not approved, the exodus of children to the United States will continue,” Jorge Ramon Hernandez, the senior representative of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, said at the talks.

Sure. Beatings will continue until morale improves. Kipling covered this one adequately enough.

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
“We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,

Does 40, 000 railroad transported “children” qualify Obama, Biden, Holder and Kerry to be on the US State Department’s Worldwide Human Trafficking Blacklist?

"Officially this money is supposed to discourage illegal immigration, in reality it sends the message that if a lot of illegal aliens from your country come and create a crisis, the United States will send you huge piles of money."

.... Liberals do not understand the simple logical concepts of Cause and Effect or Consequences for their Actions. Thus .... the increasing proliferation of these Liberal caused illogical conundrums, quandaries and dilemmas.

I wonder where in US law it allows the Executive Branch to spend taxpayer money for this purpose?

Remember the statement, “I have a pen and a phone”?

“Dear Citizens of Central America and Mexico. Do not make the journey to the USA. If you do, you will be relocated at US taxpayer expense to a housing facility in a neighborhood in need of more diversity. There, you will be given free food, free housing, free medical care, free education, and free assistance from immigration lawyers. If here you will be allowed to stay indefinitely. As my Vice President Joe Biden stated you may be eligible to stay permanently and some day become citizens of the USA. Even my republican enemies, I mean friends across the aisle, state you may be given residency and work permits. All these benefits are available to you, for free, without the hassle of going through legal means of immigrating to the USA. So please, take this warning and stop jumping on the freight trains that will take you across the Mexican desert. And don’t cross at the undefended border where my attorney general has made it illegal to enforce border security. Sincerely Barrack Obama”

Did Obama look to congress to get this money or did Obama decide on his own to send it ??

Certainly not legal when you decide to do it that way.

Speaker Boehner: are paying attention?
