“The Obama administration formally asked Congress on Tuesday for $600 million in emergency funds to hire another 1,000 Border Patrol agents, acquire two drones and enhance security along the Southwest border.

The money would also pay for an additional 160 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and extra Border Patrol canine teams, according to a senior White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.”

    Would this money be deducted from the 2 billion dollars he is investing in Zoros’s Brazil oil venture after closing drilling down in the gulf? The drill rigs won’t set idle for long and when moved will never be returned again. For no business mind he always seems to spend more money than we don’t have! Is this the Kenyan way of doing things?
