Obama’s $3.7 Billion Request for Border Crisis Shot Down

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)– Republican lawmakers called President Barack Obama’s $3.7 billion plan to deal with the illegal immigration crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border a ‘blank check’ proposal and requested the White House to send National Guard troops to secure the border.

Not even a week after it was offered, President Obama’s $3.7 billion plan to deal with the growing crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border appears all but dead, with Republican lawmakers Sunday decrying the administration’s “blank check” proposal and instead calling for a more targeted response centered on greater border security.

Even Texas Gov. Rick Perry, personally recruited by the president to persuade Republicans to support the measure, threw cold water on the idea. He said the president doesn’t need that much money and instead should send National Guard troops to secure the border.

Republicans called on President Obama to dispatch National Guard troops to the United States-Mexico border while Congress works out potential fixes to policies some say have contributed to a rash of Central American immigrants arriving through Mexico.

GOP Texas Gov. Rick Perry said that Obama should “pick up the phone” — a reference to the president’s pledge to take action on an array of issues if Congress doesn’t — to send 1,000 National Guard members to the border.
