Again, federal humanitarian resources amount to grants provided to national nonprofits like United Way and Catholic Charities, who then disperse the funds to local charity networks.

These grants are useful for short-term aid when migrants first arrive, but it is not enough for anything long-term.

It is also millions of dollars in aid when billions are needed.

Then billions should be granted. But Texas is getting, for example, and using Federal money (they used plenty of coronavirus aid for migrant purposes) and places like NYC are getting the money from taxpayers.

I don't know why people automatically think NYC is a-ok with illegal immigration. But border states are spending their own money to stick it to other states.

NYC gets plenty of illegal immigration. Also, border states in the south cry about having illegal immigrants but who is employing these people? Why are employers not cracked down on for employing people for cheap labor? I'm all for something being done but it has to be comprehensive. Sending migrants up north to "stick it to the libs" while illegal immigrants are employed to do labor nobody else wants to do isn't going to help anything or anyone.
