Sequester - what has been chopped
From

Food Stamps for Mexican Illegals Survive Obama Sequester
No White House tours, but plenty of money is still available for those who break our laws. The man does have his priorities:Salmonella outbreaks. E. coli outbreaks. Millions of dollars in economic losses.
These are among the scenarios the Obama administration warned about last month as it claimed the sequester would force the U.S. Department of Agriculture to furlough meat inspectors.
But while the administration prepares to take that step, it continues to pursue a �partnership� with the Mexican government to �raise awareness� about food stamps among immigrants from that country. When a top Senate Republican proposed cutting off funds for that program last week � in the form of an amendment to a budget resolution � Democrats on the Budget Committee shot it down.
Obama lost serious face when it came to light that the sequester was his idea all along. Now he is inflicting political pain while keeping his pet projects well funded.
