7. Key GOP lawmakers collectively balk at White House request for border funds (warning GOP pic)

...The Obama administration warned lawmakers on Thursday that border security agencies would run out of money this summer if the request was not approved...

Meaning the floodgates will be open. But it's not like the GOP doesn't LOVE illegal immigration. They are the party of cheap labor, after all.

Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said when asked about the spending bill that the priority had to be stopping the flow of children and teenagers from Central America to the United States.

“The best way to do that is for planeloads of these young people to be returning to the country of origin,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “As soon as they (parents) see their money is not effective in getting their kids to this country, it will stop...”

And the good news is:

The bill saw opposition from one Democrat, Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas.

“That 2008 law, passed under George W. Bush, was passed for a reason,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Many people believe that these kids should have a chance to make their case for asylum. So I think we’ve got to be careful when we consider completely doing away with that law...”

Yes, that's Julian's brother. Sorry about the McCain pic earlier. This is the Castro twins at the DNC, to lift your spirits:
