Alert! OBAMA BUDGET ELIMINATES FUNDS FOR JAILING ILLEGAL ALIENS

President Obama's proposed budget would abolish a program that reimburses states for the costs of jailing illegal aliens -- even though, as a Senator, he co-sponsored an amendment that would have provided additional funding for the program.

Eliminating the $400 million of the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAPP) would be one of the largest cuts proposed in the president's budget, yet a 2005 GAO study found local governments receive only 25 percent of their actual costs through the program.
