Republicans in Congress should move to block President Obama’s executive amnesty

Since October, some 50,000 unaccompanied children have crossed our southern border creating a situation not seen since the Mariel Boatlift of 1980. In response, President Obama has urged Congress to grant him an emergency supplemental request to address this “humanitarian crisis.” If granted, it would cost the taxpayer $3.7 billion.

But the bigger scandal is that the president’s request is actually a Trojan horse, a crisis that Obama created through his derelict and nonsensical immigration policies he’s now using to achieve a clandestine goal he’d never be able to achieve on his own.
