Thread: Representative's Funding Shot down

As i watch C-Span:
Representative Meyers (D-TX, Elpaso) today proposed an ammendment to the DOH funding in the house. The ammendment as he clearly stated would be used specifically for expanind bed space and capacity to hold captured illegal immigrants to end 'catch and release'.

A repbulican congressman stood up and rejected the idea, it was killed.

Shortly after a republican from NY proposed a few funding decreases in the bill and an increase that would go to large cities like NY to pay for some anti-terrorism cost.The same republican that damned the idea of R-Meyers commended the ammendment and it passed favorably.

Sheriff Arpaio should be given the task of designing prisons for holding detained illegal aliens. The catch and release policy is not much deterent but the possibility of being caught and incercerated in a tent may keep people from crossing.
