Congress (spit) passes "emergency appropriation" bill to "deal with" border crisis. But what does it DO?
Ever try to actually READ the actual full text of "a" law? If you want an education on how sneaky and corrupt congress is, you should try it.
For example, after congressional Democrats claimed for a full year that there was "no crisis on the southern border," and that any claim by the Trump administration to the contrary was a "manufactured crisis," congress just passed an "emergency supplemental appropriation" of $4.6 Billion of your tax dollars to...do what?
I'm pretty sure you have only a vague idea. You may recall the Mainstream Media describing the $4.6 Billion as "humanitarian aid." In reality, the money congress "appropriated" is to be used for, among other things, hiring attorneys to help illegals gain benefits, and ultimately, citizenship.
Of course you don't believe that. Unless you're an idiot liberal you're smart enough to realize that using YOUR money to hire more attorneys to help illegals get into the U.S. faster and get them set up with welfare benefits is NOT a good use of your tax dollars.
Tough. Congress ordered it, you're stuck with it. And if you think this is fake news, here's a section of the new "order," straight off the congress.gov website.
Did you get all that? No? Well, don't worry, citizen: You're not supposed to get it. As with ALL laws from congress, the wording is deliberately designed to be utterly opaque. For example, look at the second highlighted line, which specifies ``for carrying out such sections 414, 501, 462, and 235'' of Public Law 115-245.
Ah, that explains a LOT! Wait, it doesn't. You don't know what those sections of an entirely different law demand. And the jerks in congress know you don't. And further, they know that no voter or "reporter" will EVER bother to look up what those sections order.
But don't worry, citizen: Everything congress does is totally, completely above-board. No sneaky, sole-source contracts. No brother-in-law deals. No insider-trading opportunities. No sir. Not one. Just 100,000 new illegal invaders every month.
BTW, Public Law 115-245 is titled (not that it matters) "Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019." So let's try looking to see what "sections 414, 501, 462 and 235" of this law say, shall we?
Good luck. Cuz "Public Law 115-245" doesn't contain those sections. If you doubt that, here's the link to the text of that law, from congress's own damn website.
"Wait," I hear my liberal friend saying. "That's not possible! Cuz that would mean that the "emergency appropriation" bill contained references that don't exist."
Bingo.
"But trust us, citizen: We're your betters, your rulers. Everything we do is totally legit."
But if you're very determined, you can find what those sections referred to in the emergency bill actually point to: They're sections in other laws--not 115-245.
"Section 414" is actually found in the "Immigration and Nationality Act." "Section 501" is in the "Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980." "Section 462" is in the Homeland Security Act of 2002." And "Section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008." None of these are in Public Law 115-245.
So how many "journalists" bothered to find out what these sections said? None. Cuz if anyone bothered to chase the references down, they would have raised the issue. But no one bothered to check. Which was the point.
In another section of the emergency bill we see this:
Congress just ordered a billion dollars of your money to be used for illegal immigrants, of which $708 million shall be spent on "establishing and operating migrant care and processing facilities." And how long before another billion, then another? Answer: there will be no end, until we get a border wall.
And every American with a functioning brain cell realizes this. So why do Democrats refuse to deal with the real problem?
Cuz to Dems it's not a problem, but an asset. Millions of new Democrat voters. Forever.
As many wags have pointed out, if illegals voted Republican the wall would be finished in a week.
