The request includes\u00a0about $13 billion in defense funds to assist Ukraine: $9.5 billion for equipment and replenishment of Pentagon stocks, and $3.6 billion for continued military, intelligence and other defense support.<\/p>\n<p>The request also includes $8.5 billion in funding for the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to provide economic, humanitarian and security assistance, as well as $2.3 billion through the Treasury Department so Ukraine does not have to rely on financing through China or other \u201ccoercive\u201d sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Administration is requesting supplemental security, economic, and humanitarian assistance funding that would support Ukraine as well as countries and vulnerable populations worldwide impacted by Russia\u2019s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine,\u201d Young wrote in her letter to McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden has been adamant that the U.S. will stand with Ukraine \u201cfor as long as it takes\u201d as the Russian invasion extends into another month. And while there is broad bipartisan support for Ukraine aid, some Republicans have voiced concerns about providing additional funds to the Ukrainians for a war with no end in sight.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The question for the White House is whether enough Republicans, particularly in the House, can be won over to back the supplemental funding request to provide another burst of funding for Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>A senior administration official told reporters that there is enough funding already approved for Ukraine aid to last through the end of the current fiscal year. The official added that the White House \u201cwon\u2019t be bashful\u201d about going back to Congress to ask for more funding in the future.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disaster_relief\"><\/span><strong>Disaster relief<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The White House is requesting $12 billion in supplemental funds to ensure the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has enough money to respond to natural disasters, as well as to handle future disasters.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>FEMA is projected to have a \u201csignificant deficit\u201d in its disaster relief fund, officials said. The $12 billion would help address ongoing disaster response recovery efforts at a time when wildfires have destroyed parts of Hawaii and hurricane season is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>A senior administration official said the funding request reflects both current needs and \u201cour best projections\u201d of what is expected to be required.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the administration is asking for $45 million through the Department of Agriculture and $15 million through the Department of Interior to implement wildland firefighter pay increases for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Border_and_migration\"><\/span><strong>Border and migration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The administration is requesting roughly $4 billion total in supplemental funding for border and migration efforts, an ask that may help to win over some GOP supporters who would otherwise be skeptical of approving more spending.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is specifically asking for $2.65 billion in funding through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Of that, $2.2 billion would be allocated for border management operations and shelter and services for migrants released from DHS custody.<\/p>\n<p>An additional $416 million through DHS would be for nonintrusive inspection system deployment and other measures meant to counter fentanyl trafficking.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The administration is also asking for $59 million for the Executive Office for Immigration Review immigration judge teams and for fentanyl testing, tracing, networking targeting and data systems.<\/p>\n<p>White House officials have argued they inherited a broken immigration system and have been working to streamline it to make it more humane while also getting the flow of migrants under control.<\/p>\n<p>Young, in her letter to McCarthy, wrote that the administration\u2019s plan is \u201cworking as intended,\u201d but the additional funds are needed.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe are operating within a fundamentally broken immigration system\u2013everyone agrees on that point\u2013but only the Congress has the power to update our immigration and asylum laws, and we continue to stand ready to work with the Congress on solutions,\u201d Young wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
