That's just politics. Think of it this way, there are very specific laws on the books that define coming across a US border without permission is a punishable offence. These laws are not being enforced at the border. Part of the money that was asked for was to hire more agents to process and clear those entering the country quicker instead of turning them back if they don't have a visa or passport.
As it is, we have the problem of having people here that are a threat to security.
