Biden cuts border funding as his policies are about to overwhelm it
2022-03-19
[NYPOST] The $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill President Joe The Big Guy Biden

signed this week — the first since he took office — has the biggest hike in domestic spending in four years. But not all programs are equal. Climate-change boondoggles get billions while border-security funding is slashed by nearly a half-billion — even as illegal crossings continue to spike.

It’s a recipe for disaster as officials expect an overwhelming flood of migrants colonists within weeks as Biden prepares to lift the COVID-deportation measure.

The package boosts domestic spending by $46 billion, a nearly 7% hike. But it gives US Customs and Border Protection just $14.8 billion, a $428 million decrease from fiscal year 2021. (Factor in inflation, and the cuts are even deeper.)

The nosedive comes as illegal-immigrant apprehensions along the southwestern border skyrocketed in February to nearly 165,000, a 6.6% increase over January — and a 350% increase over February 2020, just after Biden took office and threw open America’s doors.

Heartbreaking images of massive numbers of migrants colonists huddled under a bridge at the Rio Grande made headlines last year. This year’s crisis is likely to look even uglier. Authorities are bracing for a colossal crush of up to 170,000 people once the administration lifts the Title 42 public-health authority allowing (but not mandating) quick expulsion.

instituted Title 42 at the pandemic’s start, and it’s been upheld in court under Biden.
