While it may be bad that our president and his fellow Democrats resist the enforcement of basic, commonsense law and order measures with regards to the tens-of-thousands of illegals pouring into our country, it’s even worse that these same opportunists are spending millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars in order to move these illegal aliens further inland.

 

That is, if the Democrat-controlled Senate has their way.

 

On Monday, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee approved a budget for the Department of Homeland Security for 2015. While this might seem routine, what is sure to astonish fiscal conservatives is the fact that the budget allots $5.508 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to, as the name would suggest, enforce immigration laws.

 

To recap: Democrats are calling for U.S. taxpayers to pay $5.5 billion to an agency to enforce immigration laws while, at the same time, tens-of-thousands of illegals to stream across the border and immediately seek government-provided shelter and care.

 

Further, we are still saddled with a president who simply refuses to enforce current immigration laws and has slowed deportations to a trickle.

 

Even further still, an estimated 12 million illegals reside in the country with the so-called Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency doing next to nothing about it.

 

What makes this all the more galling is the fact that within the DHS budget is an allotted $87 million for transportation costs for illegals.

 

The $87 million is to be used to shuttle illegals further inland- not back across the border into Central America- flying the illegals all across the country to detention facilities until Obama can figure out how to keep these crucial prospective Democrat voters here.

 

After flying the thousands of illegals to facilities, the taxpayer will also be on the hook for providing food, education, housing, medical care, and legal counsel.

 

Not a bad consequence for having snuck into a country in violation of her laws, huh?

 

This crisis demands actions from those who have sworn to uphold the laws of this nation. If this is not a wake-up call emphasizing the need to secure the border, I don’t know what is…
