The recently passed $1.2 trillion budget bill allocates a significant amount of funds for overseas border efforts.
About $380 million supports “enhanced border security” in Egypt, Lebanon, Oman, Tunisia, and Jordan.
RJ Hauman with the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) said in a statement to Breitbart News, “The Biden administration wants nothing more than the ability to ‘manage’ an invasion here at home, all while helping nations abroad build walls. Make it make sense.”
Former ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricator condemned the foreign funding.
“While our border falls apart, the Biden Administration will be giving 380 million dollars to other countries to secure their borders,” he wrote on X. “That’s right, you are being conned. Are you angry yet? Have you had enough?”

American Faith previously reported that more than one million migrants have been encountered at the U.S. border since October, the end of FY23.
The number is about 100,000 greater than the same period last year.
There were more than 18,000 “known gotaways” during the first 16 days of fiscal year 2024 at the U.S. Southern border, according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens.
“Over 18K known gotaways in the first 16 days of FY24. These are individuals whose identities & purpose we do not know. That is why you need every Border Patrol agent to be in the field and on patrol,” Owens said.
