Maneuver will only harm U.S. taxpayers

| March 13, 2011 7:00 AM

While we were all concentrating on the coming “shut down” of the government and the outrageous price of ObamaGas. Mr. Transparency slipped in a real zinger on the American taxpayer.

It’s called HB 1388 (thefederalregister.com) and it says “I have determined that it is the best interest of the United States” to import thousands of Palestinians associated with Hamas, the internationally condemned terrorist organization. The taxpayers will pay for transportation, location, housing, food, health care and education to the tune of $20,300,000.

The mainstream media failed to mention this presidential maneuver (executive order), for some reason. Fox News was also asleep at the switch.

I wonder how long it will take them to go into the actions that they have vowed to execute. Oh, and is there not a little clause in our Constitution that refers to “aiding and abetting the enemy in time of war?” Taxpayer’s billing code 4710-10-P.
