Conservatives on Capitol Hill are passing around a document titled, "Omnibus Contains $2.5 Billion to Accommodate Illegal Immigrants and Refugees," which claims to new spending bill has dedicated a lot of money to helping people in the U.S. illegally.
"The House CR/Omnibus bill contains $2.5 billion in available funding for federal agencies to accommodate illegal immigrant minors, relatives and self-professed refugees streaming across the border and into the US, answering the President’s supplemental spending request from this last summer. The language mirrors that of Senator Mikulski’s bill that was defeated this summer and does not include the language the House adopted this summer to try to compel the repatriation of illegal border crossers as a condition of funding. The Obama Administration continues to allow virtually all illegal immigrants minors and adults to remain in the US, relocating them into cities and towns across the country," reads the document, passed along by a Republican Capitol Hill staffer.
Here are some of the specific funding items:Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs): $948 million ($80 million more than the Fiscal Year 2014 enacted level) for HHS to continue to provide health and education services, including legal services, for UACs when they first arrive in the U.S. This also provides expanded transfer authority to HHS.
Department of Education: $14 million in new funding to all “State educational agencies within States with at least one county where 50 or more unaccompanied children have been released to sponsors since January 1, 2014, through the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement.”
HHS: $1.5 billion to HHS for refugee and entrant assistance, available through September 30, 2017.
