The Senate’s now vanquished border compromise bill would have funneled billions to sanctuary cities struggling with an influx of illegal immigrants. What will these cities do now?
From Breitbart. GOP Senators blocked a hidden migration bailout for the Democrats’ sanctuary cities and states when they voted against the border bill pushed by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

The GOP revolt leaves Democrat mayors and city politicians scrambling for funds they need to support and hide President Joe Biden’s growing population of poor migrants during the 2024 election year.
“It’s a huge problem for the Democrats because the Biden administration was counting on being able to shovel all this money onto the state and local allies,” said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, adding:
The Governor of Massachusetts is feeling the squeeze in a huge way. She’s having to cut firefighter budgets and take over inner-city recreational complexes and keep paying for all these hotel rooms for this huge number of illegal migrants. Now there is no help on the way. …
Democrats are now pushing to transfer Medicaid funding for poor Americans to provide housing and aid subsidies to the Democrats’ imported migrants.
“In terms of what we can do in the short term for Massachusetts, the Medicaid waiver to provide Medicaid funding for shelter and services is the best avenue for federal funding,” Rep. Jacob Auchincloss (D-MA) told a Boston TV station on February 9. …
The state’s welcome for migrants has attracted roughly 30,000 penniless migrants whose welfare has already consumed hundreds of millions of the state’s dollars. That money has flooded into the Democrats’ network of non-profits that are hired to shelter and feed the migrants. …
The failed bill was drafted by the pro-migration Democratic leaders and by Mitch McConnell, the top GOP leader in the Senate. The text was so skewed in favor of more migration that the elected GOP caucus forced McConnell to disavow the deal.
The 380-page legislation asked for roughly $5 billion in funds to aid migrants — plus another $5.6 billion in aid for unspecified “populations.”
The request included $2.33 billion for ‘‘Refugee and Entrant Assistance … for grants or contracts with qualified organizations, including nonprofit entities, to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services, including wraparound services, housing assistance, medical assistance, legal assistance, and case management assistance.”
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency would have gotten $6 billion, but “$1,400,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘’Federal Emergency Management Agency—Federal Assistance’ to support sheltering and related activities provided by non-Federal entities through the Shelter and Services Program.” …
The bill also included additional payouts to government accounts that could be quietly redirected toward Democrat-run cities.
For example, the Department of State would have gotten $5.6 billion for “humanitarian needs” and $3.5 billion for “migration and refugee assistance” for Israel, Ukraine, and “for other vulnerable populations and communities.”
“They had plans for a fund to process [migrant] people from all over the place, ” Vaughan said.
The many funds in the border bill were intended to feed the Democrats’ vast network of non-profit Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), said Vaughan.
“It’s a vast [international] network of organizations — it is faith-based groups, NGOs, contractors, and state and local agencies,” said Vaughan. …
The groups employ many Democrat activists, she said, adding, “This is a moneymaker for these people, this is how they’re making a great living.” …
Many Democratic-run cities are now cutting funds for Americans to shelter and hide their new migrant population.
“Since October 2022, [Chicago] has spent $138 million to support the thousands of migrants arriving mostly from Texas, and the public has been left largely in the dark about where the money is going,” Axios reported in December 2023.
In Colorado, “The City of Denver is preparing to spend 10% of this year’s general fund budget on the migrant crisis, according to a January 2 report by 9News.com. …
The costs are also imposed on many small towns, such as Whitewater, Wisconsin, and many counties, such as Rockland County, New York. …

Our Borders need to be closed in order for our country to heal financially and emotionally and politically.
1. We should defund all NGOs that fund or promote illegal immigration.
2. We should take away tax exempt status of organizations that promote or fund illegal immigration.
3. If people are seeking asylum, they are claiming they are being persecuted for their religion, race, ethnicity or political views in their countries, we should reduce aid money or impose sanctions on these countries for their persecution of their own people. Most of the aid money is not going to the poor people in their countries but to the rich elite.
4. We should declare the Mexican cartels are terrorist groups and anyone who pays them any amount is inadmissible to the U.S.
5. We must stop making human trafficking profitable. I am all for real asylum seekers such as Christians fleeing Islamic terror but over 80% maybe 90% of asylum seekers don’t qualify and they know it.
Sounds like a plan… and a good one at that.
Thank you for stopping the funding of the “vast (international) network of organizations” which sounds to me so much like what the UN- UNRWA did with funds which went to Hamas, etc!
Help, LORD!
Amen
The people coming across our borders are referred to as Migrants, which is incorrect. To categorize these people as Migrants they would have filled out the necessary documents in order to migrate, but did not.
These people are Illegal Aliens who have illegally come into the United States.
I retired from CBP and I wish people would stop trying to be politically correct and start using the Correct terminology when referring to the influx of of people Illegally coming to this country.
I agree. Calling them migrants or undocumented immigrants is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist or calling a bank robbery an unauthorized withdrawal.
Amen!
