Let me get this straight. Veterans are systematically denied care and die while on phony waiting lists, while Obama urgently requests $1.4B to house, feed and transport tens of thousands of unaccompanied illegal alien "children" who stream across our border because of his policies? And some of them are put up at Lackland Air Force Base with more to be handed off to the Navy? So taking care of illegal alien "children" is now a military mission, on top of fighting "climate change?"

I guess the good news is BO making a request of congress. Normally he doesn't bother to ask before acting.
Don't fool yourself. He's making the request to Congress because he knows they will deny it and he wants them to look bad for doing so. Then he can point out how Congress wants all these kids to die, blah blah...If they give in and give him the money, he knows they'll piss off their base. It's a no-win.
