This is a a lot of money to hand out to LaRaza, Southwest Key and the other groups that are waiting with their hands out. Obama's track record indicates the money will go to pay off Socialist cronies instead of securing our border. JMO

White House to seek $3.8 billion for border control, more than previously signaled

By David Nakamura July 8 at 10:50 AM

The White House on Tuesday will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America, a far higher amount than the Obama administration had previously signaled, according to a Capitol Hill source familiar with the plans.

The money would go to several federal agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State and Health and Human Services. Funds would be allocated to send more immigration judges to the southern border, build additional detention facilities and add border patrol agents, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the administration had not formally made the request.

The move is aimed at more quickly deporting the tens of thousands of women and children who have entered the countriy illegally across the souther border, most of them in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

White House officials declined to comment.

Administration officials had previously said that they would be requesting more than $2 billion to help stem the recent surge of women and children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors and 39,000 women with children have been apprehended on the southern border this year, far more than in past years.

President Obama, who will leave Washington on Tuesday evening, will visit Dallas on Wednesday and Austin on Thursday. Admnistration aides said he will not visit the border while in the state, but they said he will meet with local leaders to discuss the border crisis.
