As problems of national security mount against the US, including cyberattacks, irregular immigration, violent crime, and record high border crossings, POTUS has proposed slashing funding for DHSgov by $600 million.
The White House budget proposal for fiscal 2024, which will begin in October, suggested $60.4 billion for the DHS, the nation’s third-largest department with 260,000 employees worldwide. Budgets for agencies and departments typically increase year to year, but the DHS's would drop by 1% from the amount enacted this year.
The Biden administration maintained that it had taken unprecedented action and “secured more resources for border security than any of the presidents who preceded him.”"The President’s Budget includes billions of dollars to keep America’s borders secure and enforce our immigration laws, while expanding legal pathways for migrants seeking asylum," the White House wrote in a statement on the newly released budget.
Roughly 40%, or about $25 billion, of the budget is directed toward the DHS agencies Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Both agencies would bring on 460 more employees to interview immigrants in custody, a task that has fallen to Border Patrol agents and pulled as many as half of agents from the field on the southern border to document, fingerprint, and fill out the paperwork for every person apprehended. Over two years, agents on the southern border have apprehended and taken into custody more than 2 million people.
