The bill pays to send the children home to their parents in to speed up the process. It also pays National Guard Troops currently on the border.
Just curious here...what procedure has the House incorporated into this bill for payment, from the public purse, to these NG troops without Federalizing the Guard units involved?
That would take deeper research. Not sure on that one. However I do know from a previous thread that Texas has raised about 800 Million Dollars from the State Legislature to attempt to protect the border. In that issue, from a previous thread, 1200 illegals a day into Texas. 25% are children, 25% have criminal records.
I read the comments of Rick Perry which basically stated he was so disgusted with the detainment facilities of the children that he felt Texas should act to improve these conditions. Which is why he is currently building tent cities in an attempt to change the conditions of the illegals until deportation via ICE. Texas is paying for this and the NG at this time. They've been raising funds via the state legislature for many years now.
Oh, OK! I was just wondering how the US House was going to Federalize the Texas Army NG (TANG) in the bill to pay for their contribution on the Border from the US Treasury. That explains it then...maybe.
So the funds are not going to come from the Treasury, but the House bill is somehow going to require/force Texas to pay the TANG troops who will be under Federal control. So, in other words, the House is going to Federalize the TANG and the TANG troops will be paid by Texas. But with the House exercising an authority which is the sole prerogative of the President, isn't that obliterating the doctrine of separation of powers? How does the bill get around that obstacle?
Hey, you're the one with all of the knowledge of that bill I'm ignorant of, so I'm asking questions to become better informed. Just sayin'...
