The November 26, 2014
Daily Mail reports:
Alabama Sen.
Jeff Sessions, the Republican' top budget hawk, has unveiled a Nov. 21
memo from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) explaining that
Congress can legally strip funding from America's immigration
enforcement agency – including funds the agency raises on its own
through fees it charges Americans and foreigners.
That
news will put fuel in the tank of right-wingers who want to paint Obama
into a corner when the GOP controls both houses of Congress in January.
Citing
'Congress's constitutional power over the purse,' the CRS – Capitol
Hill's official nonpartisan research arm – instructed Sessions that
lawmakers can pick and choose what executive branch agencies can spend
money on.
Good to hear. republicans can defund INS and amnesty. Even a large fraction of Democrats and Hispanics think this is a bad idea.
