Spending Bill Gives Nearly $1 Billion to Aid Illegal Aliens

While defunding President Obama’s executive amnesty is not included in the 2015 spending bills package, it does include $948 million to help poor and unskilled Central Americans who illegally crossed the border earlier this year establish themselves in the United States.

When broken down, the spending works out to $16,928 for each of the 56,000 unaccompanied alien children and young adults who crossed the border during Fiscal Year 2014.

According to the Daily Caller, much of the $948 million may also be used to care for the next wave of illegal aliens who could flood across the border next summer. The influx in the summer of 2015 is expected to be large because President Obama’s recently announced executive amnesty that will offer work permits and social security numbers to at least five million illegal aliens already in the country. Past amnesties for illegal aliens have usually caused a spike in future illegal immigration.

The $948 million fund is part of the $1 trillion spending package that would fund the government through Fiscal Year 2015 with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which would be funded through February.
