The Biden administration will reallocate $860 million of funds designated for COVID relief to address pandemic-related costs for illegal immigrant children, according to reports.

In a letter to leadership of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees dated Tuesday and reviewed by Bloomberg News, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra informed the lawmakers that his department needed the funds to ensure the safety of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the border.

They also need to cover costs associated with staffing at shelters for these children, Becerra wrote.

Speaking to the outlet, a Biden administration official said HHS’ costs for housing unaccompanied migrant children had gone up by $1.7 billion as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to precautions the government needed to take.

Will the Republicans in the Senate and House scream as loudly as the Democrats did when Trump moved money to build the wall?

These kids will be voting Dem in perpetuity, so Pedo Joe will roll out the red carpet for them at every turn. Everything will be free for them for the rest of their lives.

Money like this should not be moved around like it’s loose change in the sofa. Make Congress vote on it, and reduce the COVID allocation. PRETEND THIS IS AMERICA, YOU BASTARDS!!!!

per the article, 170,000 illegals per month.

170,000 * 6 months = 1.2 Million illegals

$860 M / 1.2 M = $716 per illegal

You can bet the $860 M will be allocated to favored NGOs.

No. Oops. Sorry, you probably meant that as a rhetorical question since the answer is so obvious.

Because “our side” is really the complicit party, not the opposition party. Except for a very few outliers, there is only the Uniparty.
