Open letter to Sen. Cornyn:

"Sen. Cornyn,
I have read your "Sen. Cornyn Backs Two Measures To Increase SCAAP Funding".

For those initiated with the acronym SCAPP, it stands for State Criminal Alien Assistance Program.

The question then arises as to whom the assistance is for. Is it for improvement of criminals welfare or is it increase in federal funds to offset criminal interment costs?
In either case, two amendments to increase federal funding are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

If the Obama administration has mandated handling of criminals such as to require an increase in cost, it is Congress' responsibility to offset the mandate, not to make additional money available to the states.

An analogy might be that the Obama Administration mandates all states to build birdhouses for sparrows. Should Congress now say, "Fine. We will supply the money to the states", or should Congress say, "this is a ridiculous idea, to which we are opposed."

As another significant aspect, is this something you should be fooling around with when your country is going down the tube on healthcare and climate control?"
