Taxpayer multi-million dollars funding illegals

New York Receives More Migrant Funding Than Texas or Arizona

In late 2022, Leader Chuck Schumer discreetly secured $800 million in funding for FEMA’s Emergency Food and Shelter program as part of a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. This funding was ostensibly designated to aid cities in providing essential services such as shelter, food, health care, and Covid-19 testing to individuals arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.

One would naturally assume that most of the funds would be allocated to cities and states grappling with the influx of migrants at the border, such as El Paso and Del Rio in Texas and Yuma and Tucson in Arizona. However, a significant portion of the funding was directed towards large urban areas far from the border, which are typically Democratic.

As part of the initial round of funding in 2023, Democratic strongholds received tens of millions of dollars. Cities like Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Denver, Boston, and New York City received substantial amounts, with New York City being the largest recipient at $30 million.

While border states received a significant share of the funding, tensions arose as resources dwindled amidst the ongoing border crisis. By June, only $363 million of the original allocation remained, and New York City was granted an additional $104 million, more than any single border state. This allocation led to criticism from five Democratic senators and former Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who accused the Biden administration of favoring New York City over border communities and lacking transparency.

Read about it... and thanks to Biden, with his open border policy, American taxpayers are picking up this tab.

Close the border and send these people back to wherever they came from.
