House Democrats introduced a bill that would designate an extra $50,000,000 for food programs for migrants in addition to a baseline of $150,500,000. If enacted, the proposal would "provide supplemental appropriations for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to provide humanitarian relief for migrants, and for other purposes."
Rep. Norton's bill appears to apply specifically to migrants who come into contact with DHS as opposed to including American citizens.
- The decision to allocate an additional $50,000,000 to migrant services also follows shortages of common household items and food products such as baby formula plaguing U.S. citizens, with forecasts suggesting shortages will intensify.
