Obama’s Budget Cuts Aid For Jailing Illegal Immigrants
President Bush doubled the national deficit during his eight years in office and this current president has doubled the national deficit once again. The president then announced he would cut some of his outrageous spending and we found out that the total spending cuts account for less than 1% of the spending that he has proposed.
Not surprisingly half of the spending cuts are in the Department of Defense. I don’t agree with that but it was expected, we knew that we were getting someone who wouldn’t take national defense seriously.
We also know that the president has recently stated that he wanted to pass comprehensive immigration reform by the end of the year. In other words he wants to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. So it should also come as no surprise that one of the biggest programs that is going to be cut is called State Criminal Alien Assistance Program. (He must hate the name of that program alone, it calls them both criminals and aliens and the assistance is going to the states and not the criminal aliens.) This program sends federal money to border states to help defray the costs of jailing illegal immigrants when they are caught.
This is going to meet some resistance from the border states which have been trying to get more funding for the program. Even Dianne Feinstein has been thying to get more funding for this program. President Bush also tried to end this program, also not surprising considering he and the current president hold the same position on illegal immigration, but was unsuccessful.
This is the first step toward comprehensive immigration reform. First make it too cost prohibitive for states to jail the immigrants and then, because the aliens are walking our streets anyway we will need to bring them out of the shadows. What better way than to do that than to make them legal?
I am all for ending the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program but only under one condition. When the criminal aliens are caught instead of putting them in jail, we put them on a bus and send them back to where they came from. I don’t think that there is money in the budget for that idea however.
America's Watchtower 
All I can do on this one is shake my head. This man’s worldview is so far removed from most Americans that it is mind-boggling.

He doesn’t even fall into line with the moonbat Muslims we all figured he would come out full FOR… Obambi is WAY off the reservation, even the Dems are seeing it… Getting them to admit it is going to be tough though!!

Apparently nobody has learned from the last attempt at amnesty that the American people do not want it. They seem to be full speed ahead on an issue that Americans don’t agree with.

I had little doubt as to the kinds of programs this idiot would cut. The military, immigration measures, border security, etc. But to claim he is cutting spending while offering up a three trillion dollar budget is more than I can stand—does he think we are all like his know-nothing big city voter or the fools on the college campuses who have no concept of what happening in the real world outside of what their old-hippie professors tell them. This country is full of dumb, stupid, fools who have little knowledge of the real world around them. They will float along with the prevailing winds until a storm comes, and a storm is coming and reality will be put in sharp focus again. Sadly, it takes this.

It really is insulting that this man dares to talk about spending cuts after the budget that he proposed. He really does think that Americans are stupid. Maybe he is right to an extent, maybe not enough Americans are paying attention to what is going on.
