With Obama's $3.7 billion border funding request rejected by Congress, but no alternative legislation presented to him for signing into law, Obama said he would shift funds from other accounts to pay for enhanced border security and the care and feeding of thousands of detained migrant children. I'm going to have to act alone because we don't have enough resources, Obama told reporters. We've already been very clear. We've run out of money. Friday's action capped a day of bitter debate over U.S. immigration policy.With the two votes, the House went on record in favor of accelerating the return of children to their home countries while also reversing much of Obama's two-year-old policy that suspended deportation efforts against children brought to the United States illegally by their parents before mid-2007.The measure would prohibit those who have already been given a reprieve from deportation from renewing their status when it expires after two years.The child migrant crisis has become an increasingly hot topic ahead of the mid-term elections in November that will determine control of Congress next year.The Republicans have been trying to present a united front against Obama to energize the party's voting base, including a move this week to sue him in federal court for allegedly overstepping his legal authority.Republicans may have papered over their differences for now,Oakley Headquarters Address, but they could resurface after the summer break when negotiations intensify.Boehner in September will have two hot-button issues to navigate through the House: a return to the border funding issue and a stop-gap spending bill to keep government agencies open in the new fiscal year starting on Oct. 1.This week's dust-up in the House also may give Democrats a new opening to remind voters - and Democratic donors - of the Tea Party's influence over Republicans.They attacked the revised Republican plan as putting at risk the children of undocumented immigrants, often known as dreamers,Oakley Socket, who have grown up in the United States. The Republican push could aggravate immigrant communities that have been hoping for comprehensive reforms.Reuters Copyright 2014,Oakley Sunglasses Outlet,
