President Obama will ask Congress to provide more than $2 billion in new funds to control the surge of illegal Central American migrants at the South Texas border, and to grant broader powers for immigration officials to speed deportations of children caught crossing without their parents, White House officials said on Saturday.
Mr. Obama will send a letter on Monday to alert Congress that he will seek an emergency appropriation for rapidly expanding border enforcement actions and humanitarian assistance programs to cope with the influx, which includes record numbers of unaccompanied minors and adults bringing children. The officials gave only a general estimate of the amount, saying the White House would send a detailed request for the funds when Congress returned after the Fourth of July recess that began Friday and ends July 7.
The president will also ask Congress to revise existing statutes to give the Homeland Security secretary, Jeh Johnson, new authorities to accelerate the screening and deportation of young unaccompanied migrants who are not from Mexico. Fast-track procedures are already in place to deport young migrants from Mexico because it shares a border with the United States.
Mr. Obama will also ask for tougher penalties for smugglers who bring children and other vulnerable migrants across the border illegally, the officials said.
“This is an urgent humanitarian situation,” Cecilia Muñoz, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said in a telephone interview on Saturday. “We are being as aggressive as we can be, on both sides of the border,” she said. “We are dealing with smuggling networks that are exploiting people, and with the humanitarian treatment of migrants while also applying the law as appropriate.”

You are absolutely correct that his actions to now and this current request for more money is simply Cloward-Piven in operation.
He apparently has thee money to put them on airplanes and fly them all over the US. Why not fly them home. Until he actually seals the border by all means within his control (call out the National Guard - get serious) and starts deportations he should no additional funds should be appropriated for his misappropriation.
He needs an additional $2 billion to do a job that DHS, US Border Patrol, ICE, local and state police should already be doing?
I guess another union needs a payoff.
He wants $2 billion to make sure the kids have free medical car, clothing, housing and food. And the republican congress will give it to him. I don’t know why they don’t just send him a blank checkbook.
We all know that stemming illegal immigration and speeding deportation is a cause near and dear to his heart./s
Most expensive Kenyan clown-show... EVER!
I'll expect a Times correction on Monday....
Obama to Seek Funds to Speed Border Crossings and Stem Deportations
he wants a slush fund to bring over their parents and make sure they register as democrats..
Those ‘funds’ will turn out to be used for relocating them to red states and giving them the full monti of welfare.
He ain’t feeling any heat- He just wants more money to spend on his new demonazis. Nothing will be spent on “controlling the border”. Much will be spent on bringing in more enemies of the USA.
Why do I get the funny feeling that some, if not most of that $2 BILLION will end up in Democrat coffers for the 2014 election cycle?
Could it be that every BOONDOGGLE in the past 6 years has had that exact result?
Nah. I must be a conspiracy theory NUT! :)
I call BS. He’s going to spend the money on feeding and clothing the newest group of illegals.
lol
RIGHT!
he is seeking funds to house and transport the illegals into our cities!
Zero is taking a page from the Rahm Emanuel playbook.
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that [is] it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
Rahm Emanuel
All part of the Master plan.
"We couldn't believe how easy it worked."
He won’t “beef up the border and deport these illegals”. Obama will just use the Congressional money for his own pet liberal progressive projects. Congress will have no control over the destination of any funds they vote for controlling the border.
Spot on. Says it all.
And, per the pic on the bottom....we were warned.
That's exactly what he wants. I think he should just cancel the food stamp program and use those funds.
