SEND. THEM. HOME.
Wasting more money will not get the job done. We need leadership. Not more wasted money.
Strategically brilliant.
Painted GOP into a corner.

Give up 3.5 Billion and they give obama money for his open border policies.
so Obama will let the West burn if he doesn’t get his way?
Congress should send it back with 4 billion only for border fencing and deportation expenses.
Give him $100 million and then an additional one million for every deportation he can document going forward.
Remember the days when we used to have an emergency, and we’d get a funding request that would provide money actually dedicated to help fix the problem?
Back before we were “fundamentally transformed”, I guess.
In the FWIW column... my vote on the whole package is:
NO.
With nothing to eat they should soon self-deport.
No mercy, no kindness, no charity is left in me until deservedness is proven. I expect to be treated on the same terms.
Life is tough, but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.
I didn’t see the words ‘wall’ or ‘fence’.
Obama is perfectly happy destroying the nation to get his way.
Send the bill to Latin America.
