What about the actual border? Biden giving over $100 million to NYC to help with migrant surge

Democrats are creating a cyclical and expensive immigration crisis. Last week Democrats announced the Biden administration will give over $100 million to New York City “to support the surge of illegal immigrants” reports the Daily Caller News Foundation.

When one hears about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina come to mind. However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced FEMA will be providing New York City $104.6 million in new funding after negotiations determined the money will be used for “the care and assistance of asylum seekers,” according to a press release.

The new Shelter Services Program will receive the money to combat what Jeffries calls “an influx of asylum seekers” and that “it will take an all-hands-on-deck, every-level-of-government approach to solve”. The press release also showed that another $38.4 million was previously given by the Biden administration to New York City to support the influx of illegal immigrants.

U.S. Border Patrol has recorded over 1.2 million encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border in the current reported fiscal year from September to April.

The Daily Caller reports:

The ongoing migrant crisis has resulted in New York City Mayor Eric Adams busing migrants across the state, with 30 New York counties suing to stop the action. The city reports that 74,000 migrants have arrived since last spring, prompting the opening of 160 sites to handle the influx.

Adams and the Biden administration have previously sparred over the issue, with Adams calling the president’s response to the migrant crisis in New York City “callous.” Adams pointed to both Democratic and Republican officials busing migrants to the city, such as Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.

A recent Gallup poll shows Americans overwhelmingly have faith in Republicans over Democrats when it comes to the economy. In fact, the GOP “holists largest advantage on the economy in over 30 years, with 53% of Americans trusting Republicans more than Democrats on the issue” writes the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The poll holds Republicans at a 14-point lead over Democrats for handling the economy better. “The GOP scored 10 points higher on the economy than last year, marking the largest margin between the two parties since 1991.”

Gallup’s publication of the poll is titled ‘Neither Party Well-Liked, but GOP Holds Advantage on Issues.’ It may not be a shock that “The two major political parties remain unpopular in the U.S., with 56% of Americans viewing the Republican Party unfavorably and 58% saying the same of the Democratic Party” but the GOP holds “historically ample leads.”

“A slightly larger majority, 57%, have greater faith in the Republican Party to protect the country from international terrorism and military threats, while 35% favor the Democrats.”
