Defying President Barack Obama, lawmakers on Thursday saved a program
that helps states with the cost of incarcerating criminal illegal
immigrants as the House began the annual process of crafting the
legislation to fund the government.
The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, a favorite of lawmakers
from California and Texas, still wasn't completely spared from budget
cuts. A House Appropriations panel decided to allocate $300 million to
the program, a $100 million reduction from current levels but still a
clear rejection of Obama's plans to eliminate the program.
