House includes “emergency” funding for criminal immigrants’…lawyers?

The House did the responsible thing by passing a fiscally sound bill that includes $10 million in “emergency” funding for a border fence.

Come on, people…you know darned well I’m shiiting you!  From CNS News:

What can you say about a 3,500-page appropriations bill that stands more than a foot tall? Nothing good, according to Republicans. But Democrats are spinning the spending bill as a step in their much-talked-about “New Direction.”

House Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri said the bill is full of “misguided” policy decisions: “On one page, for instance, you will find a set of new restrictions on the construction of our security fence along the border; on another, $10 million in ‘emergency’ funding for attorneys of illegal immigrants.
…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed passage of the catch-all measure as a positive thing, saying it would end “seven years of failed Bush Administration economic policies that are out of touch with the concerns of the American people.” 

That’s the Dems’ answer to criminal immigration: give ‘em lawyers.  It’s not bad enough they want bloodthirsty camelhumping weirdbeards in Gitmo to have counsel, but now they want people who wantoningly disregard our laws and aren’t here lawfully to have them, too.  Is this what San Fran Nan considers “in touch with the concerns of the American people”?
