WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans passed legislation late Friday to
address the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border by sending migrant youths back
home without hearings, winning over conservatives with a companion bill that
could lead to deporting more than half a million immigrants whom the Obama
administration granted temporary work permits. President Barack Obama
condemned the Republican action and said he'd act unilaterally, as best he
could.
A day after GOP leaders pulled the border bill from the floor in a chaotic
retreat, tea party lawmakers were enthusiastically on board with the new $
694 million version and a companion measure that would shut off a program
created by Obama granting work permits to immigrants brought here illegally
as kids. The second bill also seemed designed to prevent the more than 700,
000 people who've already gotten work permits under the program from
renewing them, ultimately making them subject to deportation.
The spending bill passed 223-189 late Friday, with only four Republicans
voting "no" and one Democrat voting "yes." The measure ending Obama's
deportation relief program passed 216-192, with 11 Republican "no" votes and
four Democrats crossing party lines to vote in favor.
"It's dealing with the issue that the American people care about more than
any other, and that is stopping the invasion of illegal foreign nationals
into our country," said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. "And we got to yes."
But Obama said no. "They're not even trying to solve the problem," the
president said. "I'm going to have to act alone, because we do not have
enough resources."
Obama said he would reallocate resources where he could, while making clear
his options were limited without congressional action. The administration
already has taken steps including re-ordering immigration court dockets and
boosting enforcement measures.
The moves in the House came on what was to have been the first day of
lawmakers' five-week summer recess, delayed by GOP leaders after their vote
plans unexpectedly collapsed on Thursday. Senators had already left
Washington after killing their own legislation on the border crisis, so
there was no prospect of reaching a final deal. But three months before
midterm elections, House Republicans were determined to show that they, at
least, could take action to address the crisis involving tens of thousands
of unaccompanied minors fleeing violence and poverty in Central America to
cross illegally into South Texas.
"It would be irresponsible and unstatesmanlike to head home for the month
without passing a bill to address this serious, present crisis on the border
," said Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
To reach a deal, GOP leaders had to satisfy the demands of a group of a
dozen or more conservative lawmakers who were meeting behind the scenes with
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and taking their cues
from outside groups such as the Heritage Foundation that opposed earlier
versions of the legislation.
These lawmakers objected to sending any more money to Obama without a strong
stance against his two-year-old deportation relief program, which
Republicans blame for causing the current border crisis by creating the
perception that once here, young migrants would be allowed to stay — a
point the administration disputes.
House GOP leaders agreed earlier in the week to hold a separate vote to
prevent Obama from expanding the deportation relief program, as he's
signaled he plans to do, but that didn't satisfy conservatives who held out
for stronger steps.
Thursday night, those lawmakers huddled in the basement of the Capitol with
new House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., until coming up with a deal
ending funding for the deportation relief program as well as making changes
to the border bill aimed at ensuring the faster removal of the Central
American migrant youths.
Friday morning, as the full Republican caucus met in the Capitol,
conservative lawmakers were declaring victory.
"I'm very satisfied," said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, the leading immigration
hardliner in the House.
With the vote to end the deportation deferral program, "We will put a
handcuff on one of the president's hands," said Bachmann.
The GOP plans met with howls of protest from immigration advocates and
Democrats, who warned Republicans that they'd be alienating Latino voters
for years to come.
"This, in all honesty and candor, is one of the most mean-spirited and anti-
immigrant pieces of legislation I've seen in all my years in the Congress,"
said longtime Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
Democrats also accused Republicans of handing control of their policies to
the most conservative lawmakers in the House, within months of abandoning
pledges to act on broad-based legislation to overhaul U.S. immigration
policy and bring millions of immigrants here illegally out of the shadows.
The new GOP border bill adds $35 million more for the National Guard, which
would go to reimburse states for guard deployments. Like earlier versions,
it would increase spending for overwhelmed border agencies, add more
immigration judges and detention spaces, and alter a 2008 anti-trafficking
law to permit Central American kids to be sent back home without deportation
hearings. That process is currently permitted only for unaccompanied minors
arriving from Mexico and Canada.
The bill would pay for strapped border agencies only for the final two
months of this budget year, falling far short of the $3.7 billion Obama
initially requested to deal with the crisis into next year. More than 57,000
unaccompanied youths have arrived since October, mostly from El Salvador,
Honduras, and Guatemala, plus tens of thousands more migrants traveling as
families. | M********s 发帖数: 24729 | | m*******p 发帖数: 1978 | 3 导致现在问题的移民法(跟美国不接壤的未成年人不马上遣返,因为防止买卖人口)

| m*******p 发帖数: 1978 | 17 It is EXACTLY the cause of under aged illegal immigrants.
The expense is for enforcing the law signed by Bush. The less money we put
in, the SLOWER the deportation process will be, and the longer they will
stay in the US.
I'm not saying the Democrats are saints, but this GOP is down right evil.
My advice, stop watching Fox News. It truly makes people stupid.

| | | a*********a 发帖数: 3656 | 21 if the 2008 law is THE EXACT cause of the under age illegal immigrant
crisis, why was there no such crisis in 2009, no such crisis in 2010, no
such crisis in 2011, not even so much in 2012 either.
However, after O8ma unilaterally started to issue EAD to those illegal
immigrants who came as underages in July of 2012, the underage illegal
trafficing started to pick up in 2013 and reached a crisis level in the
first half of 2014.
Note, that O8ma gave illegal immigrants EAD, which is much much more
flexible than any student or working VISA.
if you dig deeper in to the proposed 3.7 billion (37,000,000,000 that is)
spending proposed by O8ma, you d fine that the VAST MAJORITY of the money is
NOT to be spent on deportation but the transportation and allocation of the
illegal minors in the States. The illegals will be fed, given shelter,
medical care, their relatives in the States (legal or illegal) located and
the child sent to them. They will be given a court date to appear in front
of a immigrant Judge, most of them never show up anyway.
