The Washington Examiner posted an article today about a House of Representatives vote on housing illegal aliens.

The article reports:

House Republicans voted Thursday to ban the Defense Department from housing illegal immigrants on military bases, which might force President Obama’s team to develop an alternative plan for housing the unaccompanied children arriving on the southern border.

“By proving housing for illegal immigrants on military installations, we are wasting scarce defense dollars that should be used to train and equip our soldiers to fight our nation’s wars,” Rep. John Fleming, R-La. He proposed his solution as an amendment to legislation that funds the Department of Veterans Affairs and other military-related issues, and it passed 219-202.

Our military are overextended and have equipment that they don’t have enough spare parts for and the government is considering using their budget to help people here illegally.

The article further reports:

Fleming’s amendment passed by a narrow margin considering the GOP’s 246-seat majority. Twenty-two Republicans voted against the measure, while six didn’t vote at all. Two Democrats — Rep. Brad Ashford, D-Neb., and Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa. — voted in favor of the bill.

The amendment should have passed unanimously–there is no excuse to take money that is supposed to be for our military and give it to people who are here illegally.
