Tucked into Obama’s absurdly small budget cuts are a few things which will sting, if enacted:
President Obama voted in the Senate to provide additional funding for a program targeted for elimination by his budget that provides states a federal subsidy to offset the costs of jailing illegal immigrants.
Killing the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAPP) would save $400 million, according to Obama’s budget for fiscal 2010 released Thursday. It’s one of the largest non-defense discretionary cuts proposed in the president’s budget.
For Obama, this is win, win, win.
If it goes through, he’s able to shore up support in the pro-illegal immigration movement.
If it gets restored, he can still say he tried to stop the program to the pro-illegal immigrant movement while at the same time say he’s signed legislation designed to secure the border.
No matter what happens, its still part of his budget cut amount, so he gets to talk about how me made the “tough choices” on the budget.
Its the act of a dishonest man heading up a dishonest Administration – and thus its a perfect fit for the modern, Democrat party.
