Obama Administration RAIDING MEDICARE ACCOUNTS To Feed Illegal Youths
2016-11-30
[AmericaLookout] The Obama administration is now stealing money which was appropriated for services to help American citizens. And he’s using it to feed people who are in the country illegally.

Whose side is he on?

The Washington Examiner reports:

Feds cut $167 million in domestic programs to house, feed illegals for just 1 month

The Department of Health and Human Services is raiding several of its accounts, including money for Medicare, the Ryan White AIDS/HIV program and those for cancer and flu research to cover a shortfall in housing illegal youths pouring over the border at a rate of 255 a day.

HHS is trying to come up with $167 million to fund the Office of Refugee Resettlement that is accepting the youths, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

Policy Director Jessica Vaughan said that insiders have told her that the funding crisis has forced the department to squeeze programs for money.

She just revealed on the CIS website:

"An average of 255 illegal alien youths were taken into the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) every day this month, according to the latest figures the agency provided to Congress. This is the largest number of illegal alien children ever in the care of the federal government. To pay for it, the agency says it will need an additional one or two billion dollars for the next year ‐ above and beyond the $1.2 billion spent in 2016 and proposed for 2017 ‐ depending on how many more arrive."

This is astounding. The Obama administration is doing this while the media is promising to be tough on Trump.

Where are they now, while Obama is still in charge?

#2  In other words, another large group of illegals who can be easily found and sent back -- and another quick phone-and-pen cut to federal spending in the short term, while House Republicans decide whether they want to put the original spending back in the federal budget next year.
