The New York Post reports that "Trump cancels nearly $1B in funding for illegal immigrants and race-focused programs in new ‘pocket’ rescission," when he ordered the cancellation of $810 million in congressionally appropriated funding which was unspent and deemed unneeded. The article indicates that this is only the second pocket rescission in the past 49 years. Among the items cut:
- $567 million appropriated for HHS to provide social services to illegal aliens, including through grants to non-government organizations.
- $70 million allocated to fellowships and grants for foreign academics and students in the US.
- $56 million earmarked for a Department of Housing and Urban Development program for outside organizations that provide housing counseling, "which instead allegedly fueled 'DEI-centric' agendas of Democrat-linked racial advocacy groups such as UnidosUS and the National Urban League."
- $25 million allocated to a Department of Education migrant students initiative, "which funded organizations that allegedly encouraged participants to avoid law enforcement."
- $15 million from a DHS program that subsidized cultural orientation, healthcare and legal advice for illegal aliens and asylum seekers, along with $10 million from a separate DHS program funding legal services for illegal aliens.
No punishment for aiding and abetting of course. And the show goes on and on and on and...
ReplyDeleteThese were all funds that Congress appropriated for these purposes. The only accountability will be if a RINOs are knocked out in primaries or people stop voting for the Democrats in the general elections. And, of course, a conservative sitting out an election is a vote for the Democrats.
DeleteCongress was who I referred to as aiding and abetting illegals in the commission of a crime. It's looking like the only accountability outside of Divine Intervention will be with rope or lead. Voting is corrupted beyond utility at this point and the choice presented is either commie or jew. Why should conservatives vote? So republicans can fail to fulfill promises again? So they can pass the SAVE act AFTER the mid-terms? Horse puckey.
DeleteI don't have much faith in them either, which is why they need to be kicked out in primaries. They also need to fear that they won't be reelected unless they pass the SAVE Act.
DeleteRemove it all: every dime not necessary to get them out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if offering a bounty would help?
