And "the wall" is literally falling apart and is easily scalable by a $20 ladder. It is a total waste of money that doesn't address how people and drugs actually get through the border.

Let's see what the Comms Director left out of his posting.....

$1.4 billion in grants to local governments and nonprofit organizations for temporary food, shelter, and other services for recently arrived migrants.

Equipping Southwest border ports of entry with new technology, including non-intrusive inspection equipment to detect drugs, like fentanyl and other illegal substances, as well as the smuggling of humans through checkpoints.

An additional 300 Border Patrol processing coordinators to work alongside Border Patrol agents assisting with the intake of undocumented migrants.

An additional 1,600 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum officers to help hear asylum claims and expedite removals from the United States. And 30 new USCIS officers to process work-authorization requests from migrants.

Additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities to hold asylum-seekers.

Funds to transport migrants, including an increase in removal and deportation flights.
Providing non-custodial housing options for asylum-seekers, like community-based residential housing facilities with medical and legal facilities.

An additional 1,470 lawyers and support staff to assist 375 new immigration judge teams to process immigration cases. There are currently 2.6 million backlogged immigration cases — the most ever, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

More money will not solve the problem. There needs to be an immediate change in policies. Something Biden will not do.

Here is more.......

This supplemental request is asking to continue failed policies. For example, the $4.4 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection is for processing illegal aliens and transporting them to the American community of their choice instead of deterring illegal immigration and enforcing the law.

Additionally, an undeclared amount of your taxpayer dollars would go to the non-governmental organizations that prioritize offering shelter, food, clothing and other resources for illegal aliens over poor Americans.

Unsurprisingly, there is no money dedicated to building the border wall system that the Biden administration recently declared an "immediate and acute" need to thwart illegal immigration.

Much of the rest of the request is the functional equivalent of an illegal alien slush fund. That includes $1.85 billion in welfare payments to illegal aliens from Cuba and Haiti and $755 million to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a component of the Department of Homeland Security that is supposed to be funded by fees instead of taxpayer dollars.

Rather than dealing with the issue of illegal aliens, this money would be used to speed up the approval of work permits for millions of them whom the Biden administration has allowed into the country.

Furthermore, the State Department would receive $1.3 billion to support and promote "safe, orderly, and humane migration," which is Biden administration lingo for its unlawful categorical parole programs.

Lastly, though the nearly $4 billion to hire additional immigration judges and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys sounds good, it does not provide a near-term solution. The time it will take to hire and onboard all these people will do nothing in the immediate term to stop the record flow of illegal aliens coming to the country. And removal orders from judges are meaningless if they are not enforced.

Yeah we’re gonna have to agree to disagree.
I’m satisfied with the above.
Just admit you want troops on the border firing on migrants.
Most of us aren’t ever going to be ok with that.

WTF?
I want the person who is supposedly leading our country to actually give a damn about the citizens here and take action to secure the border.
Instead, he is doing everything he can to ensure more migrants enter illegally.

All of the above will help. The WH should have moved sooner on this, but the above is very proactive.

They are dedicating more funding to processing and transporting migrants than actually securing the border.
That is a no-go for me.
Biden's policies are failing. Not only did he take away everything that was working on day 1 of his presidency, he has fought to ensure that migrants have unimpeded entry into our country. He is suing to remove the razor wire, he has sued to remove the floating barriers, he has forced Arizona to remove the shipping containers used as a wall along the border, he has vastly reduced the questions asked of migrants from China in order to "screen" them, he has issued an edict telling CBP that being present illegally in the US is not a reason to deport..... I could go on and on.
Bottom line, nothing he has done has been in the best interest of US citizens and there has been no effort to make our border more secure.

I am so damned sick of this entire administration and the talking head that cannot answer simple questions from the press room podium.
They all need to go. Biden needs to head to live out the remainder of his days where he really wants to be - in Delaware - and the rest of his pathetic administration can seek contributor roles at CNN or MSNBC.
