Obama seeks $27 billion for border security
Obama seeks $27 billion for border security

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will ask Congress for $27 billion to beef up border security and immigration enforcement, administration officials said Wednesday.
The president's fiscal 2010 budget request, to be delivered to lawmakers Thursday, calls for an 8-percent increase over the current fiscal year.
It also represents a shift away from what Obama officials see as headline-grabbing by the Bush administration, which emphasized erecting fences at the border and conducting high-profile workplace raids that targeted workers. New efforts will crack down on employers who drive the demand for illegal immigrants, White House officials said.
Obama hopes an increased investment in border security will be the first step in convincing the American people of the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
Specifically, White House officials said their budget request would:
• Increase by nearly 18 percent funding for the Justice Department's Southwest Border Initiative, which is aimed at slowing the flow of criminals, weapons and drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border. This $2 billion request would support efforts by Mexico to combat drug cartel violence and apprehend dangerous criminals.
• Double funding and provide $46.8 million to the Department of Homeland Security to stop the southbound flow of guns and drug money from the U.S. to Mexico. It would allow DHS to add 44 Border Patrol agents and 65 Customs and Border Protection officers.
• Combat border violence by providing $70 million in new DHS funding to hire 349 special agents, intelligence analysts and criminal investigators to better coordinate efforts with the Mexican government.
• Step up efforts to remove criminal immigrants by increasing funding for the DHS Secure Communities program by 30 percent to nearly $200 million. The money would finance hiring 80 new law enforcement officers to identify the worst suspected foreign-born criminals in U.S. prisons and elsewhere and help deport them.
• Beef up security at airports and seaports by providing a 12 percent increase for the Transportation Security Administration, for a total of $7.5 billion. The money would be used to buy new X-ray and imaging equipment to help detect concealed weapons and explosives. It also would be used for additional security officers at seaports
• Strengthen E-Verify, the voluntary Web-based system designed to help U.S. employers confirm whether would-be workers are in the nation legally. The budget request calls for $112 million to improve the reliability of the system and expand its capacity to handle more employers.
The current E-Verify system has been criticized for being vulnerable to fraud and for sometimes wrongly identifying U.S. citizens and legal immigrants as being the country illegally.

Most employers will stop hiring illegal aliens the very first time you throw them in prison
so let's get started with that program.NO AMNESTY
Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

ICE has a $5 Billion budget and CPB has a $9.3 Billion budget so with a $3.1 Billion increase that's $17 Billion. We have $7.5 Billion in Transportation Security so that's $24.5 Billion. So where is the other $2.5 Billion? I guess DHS administration allocation or something like that?A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan

This is where the rubber meets the road!
Obama hopes an increased investment in border security will be the first step in convincing the American people of the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
At least half of that money is being allocated to benefit Mexico, and not for immigration enforcement or border security.
What is Beeping Mexico doing to stop the flow of illegal aleins into our country? Passing out how to get here commic books!!!!

I know, none of the new money really helps Americans with our objective to stop illegal immigration.

This is all about what the U.S. will do for Mexico, nothing about Mexico returning the favor by keeping its people and drugs at home. Part of Obama's plan to become king of the world through globalism?
