But not all programs are equal. Climate-change boondoggles get billions while border-security funding is slashed by nearly a half-billion \u2014\u00a0even as illegal crossings continue to spike.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a recipe for disaster as officials expect an overwhelming flood of migrants within weeks as Biden prepares to lift the COVID-deportation measure.<\/p>\n<p>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.)<\/p>\n<p>The nosedive comes as illegal-immigrant <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>rehensions along the southwestern border skyrocketed in February to nearly 165,000, a 6.6% increase over January \u2014\u00a0and a 350% increase over February 2020, just after Biden took office and threw open America\u2019s doors.<\/p>\n<p>Heartbreaking images of massive numbers of migrants huddled under a bridge at the Rio Grande made headlines last year. This year\u2019s 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. President Donald Trump instituted Title 42 at the pandemic\u2019s start, and it\u2019s been upheld in court under Biden.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/immigration-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Migrants take shelter along the Del Rio International Bridge as they wait to be processed after crossing into the US from Mexico in 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-21568505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/immigration-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/immigration-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/immigration-biden-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Migrants take shelter along the Del Rio International Bridge as they wait to be processed after crossing into the US from Mexico in 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Adrees Latif\/REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But the prez insists on ending it,\u00a0even as he keeps other pandemic policies in place. \u201cAs always is the case this administration is working every day to provide relief to immigrants, restore order, fairness, and humanity to our immigration system and bring it into the 21st century,\u201d White House spokesman Vedant Patel said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>CPB simply doesn\u2019t have the resources to deal with the coming crush.

David Schweikert calls \u201ceconomic violence to the working poor.\u201d On the House floor last year, Schweikert warned that opening up America\u2019s borders to a flood of illegal migrants would drive the wages of US citizens downward. With inflation at record highs, working Americans can ill afford to lose even more buying power.<\/p>\n<p>They say a budget is a statement of your values.
