Illegal immigration set records this year, but Democrats kept border funding flat
Fox News
Democrats made no move to boost funding for U.S. border operations even as a record-setting surge took place that led to more than 2 million migrant encounters.
In fiscal year 2022, which ended Sept. 30, CBP spent $17.8 billion, almost exactly the same as it spent in FY21. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
The smaller U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which operates on the border but also enforces immigration laws in the interior of the U.S., spent about 8% more – $8.9 billion compared to the $8.2 billion in FY21. That amounts to a combined 2% increase for the two agencies.
