In his boldest challenge yet to incoming President-elect Trump, outgoing President Obama is demanding that Congress more than double its spending on illegal immigrants to nearly $4 billion.
That’s a bigger increase than he sought for the care of war veterans.
The Washington Examiner reports Obama specifically wants $1 billion to provide "cash and medical expenses and social services" for illegals and refugees.
Another 2.8 billion would fund the care of youths flooding across the border in historic numbers.
Trump has pledged to reduce the nation's refugee and immigration numbers and GOP leaders are pressing him to target Obama's huge increase in his budget.
