The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article today about a House of Representatives<\/a> vote on housing illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

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

“By proving housing for illegal immigrants on military installations<\/a>, 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<\/a>, R-La. He proposed his solution as an amendment to legislation that funds the Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a> and other military-related issues, and it passed 219-202.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 Rep. Brad Ashford<\/a>, D-Neb., and Rep. Brendan Boyle<\/a>, D-Pa. \u2014 voted in favor of the bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
