Congress allocates $780 million in taxpayer funds for border crosser services, despite rising costs.

Congress has allocated billions in taxpayer funds to support services for illegal border crossers in U.S. cities, despite rising costs for Americans. Programs like the Department of Homeland Security's Shelter and Services Program have received over $780 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, benefitting primarily Democratic areas. Critics, including some Republicans, argue that Congress should cease funding these initiatives amid ongoing border security concerns.
