Under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 we are empowered to rescind the budget authority as requested by the President. Further. we are empowered to disapprove his proposal by failing to pass a rescission bill within the 45day period subsequent to the Presidents proposal. However. during the 45day period the President need not spend the money Congress already has appropriated. In the case of the Immigration Service. that means that for at least 45 days illegal aliens have almost complete freedom to enter the United States. knowing they will not be deported. By then the harm will be done. The Congress cannot sit idly by and allow this.
