OBAMA ADVANCES HIS INTENT TO ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS TO SUPPORT HIS B.S.

OBAMA PLANS TO CUT FUNDS THAT HELP STATES PAY FOR JAILING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS 
Barack Obama has added to his laundry-list of tactics intended to undermine the efforts of states fighting against illegal immigration within their own borders. Now, the Obama administration is proposing in its 2013 budget to cut $170 million from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program leaving a measly $70 million for the program that helps states cover jail costs for illegal immigrants. The Justice Department has steadily cut this funding during the Obama administration with Obama even proposing to eliminate the SCAAP program in its entirety during his first year in office.

Texas, California and New York typically receive the biggest shares of the program with Texas alone receiving about eight percent of the program’s available funding in each of the last three years. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn of Texas both see the budget cut as placing an unfair burden on local and state taxpayers “in order to appear to be cutting the federal budget” in light of Obama’s failure to secure the border and enforce federal immigration law.
