– The Senate on Thursday approved a wide-ranging $42.9 billion measure to pay for improving U.S. border security, clamp down on illegal immigration and beef up cyber security in fiscal 2010. The Senate voted 84-6 for the annual spending bill funding the Department of Homeland Security for the year starting October 1, and now lawmakers must work out differences with a $42.6 billion version of the bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month.
Debate over the bills offered insight into deep divisions over how to address illegal immigration into the United States, beef up security on the U.S. borders, and what to do with the estimated 12 million people in the country illegally. The Senate measure provides $10.1 billion for customs and border protection, including $800 million for bolstering security along the U.S. border with Mexico, where drug and weapons trafficking has spiked and sparked growing concerns. The legislation also includes almost $400 million for cyber security, a 27 percent increase over fiscal 2009,
The Senate agreed to several amendments, including one that would block the release of photographs of abuse of detainees by U.S. personnel. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to make the photos public. Another amendment approved would allow individuals to import prescription drugs from Canada more
Lies from liars. The hispanics living here will be upset if our borders are closed. Why, that’s racist.
There is no hope of saving our country that we grew up in. It is gone, dead. Murdered by the Jews.
Right now Uncle Sam is a corpse inhabited by Jews who are forcing it to walk around doing the Jews work.
Time to declare States rights and seceed from this union with the Jew devils. Time to throw off the chains placed upon us and rebuild a new country.
That’s 42.9 billion wasted.
The Federal reserve will secretly create trillions and spend it on programs that will increase the incentives that will thwart those goals. Until we audit and make the Federal Reserve transparent all these spending bills of little value.
Another problem will be the new medical plans from the Obama administration. I’m sure that will increase the incentives for illegals too.
