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.
Al Cardenas, the Chairman of the American Conservative Union, told the
liberal outlet that the border crisis is actually an excuse to pass
comprehensive amnesty legislation. He said this is a "crisis in need of a
solution, and that's what you go to Congress for."
At least 57,000 illegal immigrant children have crossed the border
unlawfully since October of last year, and federal officials expect at least
30,000 more in the next three months. They expect another 150,000 more to cross
next year, and the number of illegal immigrant children crossing the border
spiked after President Barack Obama unilaterally enacted his temporary amnesty
program for illegal immigrant DREAMers.
