The article discusses the increasing federal spending on migrant assistance, particularly under President Biden. It traces the origins of this issue back to 2019 when former President Trump requested additional funds for migrant children amid a growing crisis. Under Biden's administration, notable allocations were made, including $400 million in the American Rescue Plan for migrant aid. The evolving funding mechanisms, from the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to the current Shelter and Services Program, illustrate the changing governmental approach to managing migrant inflows and the associated budget implications.
In summer 2019, $30 million was added to FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program to aid migrant children, reflecting a rising federal emphasis on managing the migrant crisis.
The American Rescue Plan included $400 million for EFSP and $110 million for humanitarian relief, highlighting the Biden administration's commitment to addressing the growing needs of migrants.
