President Biden asks Congress for $4.7B for Border Enforcement.

Biden's 2025 budget proposal includes a $4.7bn emergency fund for border security, allowing DHS to increase operations during migrant surges. The fund enables DHS to tap into finances when undocumented migrant numbers cross a certain, unspecified threshold. If not used, funds will be transferred to CBP, ICE and FEMA. Republicans are likely to reject the request, as they have already refused $13.6bn funding for emergency assistance.
