http://www.numbersusa.com/content/node/12213

An amendment that increases spending for the administration of the 287(g) program passed in the House of Representatives on Wednesday by a 267-to-151 margin. The amendment was offered by Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.).

Rep. Royce's amendment reallocates $1 million of funds to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use in the facilitation of 287(g) contracts, taking funding from the Department of Homeland Security's executive management. The original bill (H.R.2017) sets aside $5.4 million for 287(g).

The 287(g) section of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows cooperation between federal immigration enforcement agents and local police officers.

In passage of the amendment, 232 Republicans and 36 Democrats voted in favor of the amendment.

Wow dude what are you doing on Numbers USA lol....

I don't see the significance of this..

Lol actually You can just scroll to see what they are hatin on about , I mean if this passes the senate then will it will count as border enforcement which could help our cause , you never know

This will not help our cause in anyway. Republicans in the house will find ways to get strict enforcement only measures passed into law. I hope the democrats in the senate grow some balls to stop any enforcement measure from becoming law without some form of legalization.

Ok, believe you


I think the argument could be made.. But you know how conservatives are .. "Maybe the'll want a moat, maybe the'll want alligators in the moat".. .

The point is that we will never please Republicans.. There minds are set up..

Thing is, Republicans will try to sneak in enforcement bills like this until they're satisfied.

I think we are safe though..

There is no way real serious stuff will get passed Reid and Obama..

This will help us.
