Sadly. that is not what the President has proposed. and that is not what HARRY REID is even allowing us to vote on on the Senate floor. For a couple of weeks. at least. after this crisis hit the first page of the newspaper. President Obama constantly pointed to those parts of the law that he said tie his hands in terms of quickly and effectively deporting some of these individuals. He pointed to the 2008 changes of the law over and over and over again. The problem is that a couple of weeks after thatwhen he actually sent a proposal to Congress to deal with the crisisany mention of that was gone. There was no suggestion of any change in the law in that regard or any other regard. The only request he made was for $3.7 billiona huge amount of additional money. The great majority of that money is to feed. house. and relocate these illegal aliens. including unaccompanied alien children. within our own country. The problem with that is it will encourage this flow of illegal immigrants into our country and this problem will continue to grow. It will not discourage it and it will not end it. We need that comprehensive approachincluding necessary changes to the law and enforcementto quickly deport these folks to their home countries and reunite them with their families.
