White House to Seek $3.8 billion for Border Control, More Than Previously Signaled

The White House on Tuesday will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America, a far higher amount that the Obama administration had previously signaled, according to a Capitol Hill source familiar with the plans.

The money would go to several federal agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State and Health and Human Services. Funds would be allocated to send more immigration judges to the southern border, build additional detention facilities and add border patrol agents, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the administration had not formally made the request.

Suture the bleeding wound or buy more bandages.

Decisions.

Decisions.

Choices.

Choices.

One is a permanent solution. The other is a temporary fix.

Does this $3.8 billion create a permanent solution or is it just a temporary fix? If the latter, then it is another waste of taxpayers' money.

What I find interesting is the Border Patrol Union reps are complaining the the rank and file are not patrolling the border but changing diapers and doing meal prep.
It's the BP that are the operatives here, why don't they go on strike or have a case of “Blue Flu” if they disagree with their working conditions.
If you don't have people to drive the buses, feed,and process these vermin you don't have a program.
Until good people put their country first and not a paycheck this will never stop

They will be back asking for money to fight the 3rd world diseases that will be spreading throughout the country.

They will be back asking for money to use to decontaminate the facilities, vehicles, airplanes, buses, etc.

When faced with a potential immigration problem Australia just said turn around and go home, no camps, no judges, no bureaucracies, etc.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/australia-facing-international-condemnation-after-turning-around-sri-lankans-at-sea-9589790.html

That’s an example of what a country that wants to survive does. While our course is stupid and suicidal.

The Dims keep noting the 2008 law “that Bush signed” that doesn’t allow immediate deportation to the Central American countries like we do for those illegals from Mexico and they have to have a hearing. How many of us actually believe that all of these that have been coming in are actually going to show up for a hearing (therefore, no lawyers or judges are needed except for maybe 5%).

I read something earlier that the bill that keeps being referenced was to protect those kids from sex trafficking.
However, the Dims are, of course, using it to their advantage now.

I’m not an attorney, but in my mind, instead of approving these funds, the House should pass a bill that repeals or amends the aforementioned 2008 bill and replace it with returning all of these illegals immediately except in very limited circumstances. Of course, we know that Dingy would never allow it on the Senate floor and Obummer would never sign it.

Not one more dime. The problem is Obama not the border patrol.
