GOP Establisment: Congress Should Give Obama 'Blank Check' to Address Border Crisis
Breitbart ^ | July 12, 2014 | Tony Lee

While liberal activists keep pushing Democrats to make more concessions regarding the flood of illegal immigrant children across the border, GOP consultants in D.C. are suggesting that Republicans roll over and approve President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion without any concessions.

And they are doing so to liberal outlets like the Huffington Post.

Since only $400 million of those funds would actually go to strengthen border security, Republicans have been wary of giving the Obama administration a "blank check" without getting some concessions, like having National Guard troops on the border or changing a 2008 law that prevents the federal government from immediately deporting illegal immigrants who are not from Mexico or Canada.

Rick Perry should call up the National Guard and send them fully armed to the border. He should force O’Bastard to federalize the Guard and call them back. Then any who may be in doubt would see that Obama owns this disaster. Damn him to hell...I am beginning to think our military needs to step in and remove the traitorous cretin.

Let’s face it - it’s a lot easier for these consultants and other corrupt politicians to make money if we throw piles of it into a project that nobody plans to actually implement...how do you think Dingy Harry and a host of others got so wealthy?
