Democrats, as well as 9 Republicans, pushed to pass Biden’s bloated spending bill for 2023. The 4,100-page document couldn’t possibly have been read by all voting members in the few days that were allotted prior to voting on it and several watchdog groups have already found millions of dollars allocated to funding woke agendas.

The president of the National Border Patrol Council screamed foul at the Biden administration, accusing it of concealing border data in order to secure passage of a $1.7 trillion spending bill.

“It’s all political. Everything that this administration does, it has a political calculus. They didn’t want to release the numbers because they knew the omnibus was coming up,” Brandon Judd told “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade. “If they would have released the numbers, you would have seen a larger push to get border security funding in that omnibus. That’s what this administration does. They don’t care about the American people, they care about politics.”

United States Customs and Border Protection received $1,563,143,000 for “operations and support” in the omnibus spending bill, but the legislation prohibits the use of those funds “to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing.”

According to official numbers, the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) contacted nearly 2.3 million migrants in fiscal year 2022, with an additional 230,000 encountered in October, the first month of the current fiscal year, and another 600,000 evading CBP, according to Fox News.

“There’s a small hiring of 300 agents, but that doesn’t matter because we can’t already meet our hiring quota. Last year we weren’t able to meet the 1,700 agents that we were supposed to hire. We hired about 200 less than that,” Judd added. “So we can’t even meet that quota as it is. And that’s law enforcement across the board, throughout the entire nation. It simply, again, comes back to politics.”

WATCH:

 

Biden’s plans did not go off without some trouble. While he was able to pass this overinflated budget the supreme courts were able to uphold Title 42 and save it indefinitely. Obviously, the Biden administration will continue to challenge the court’s ruling but, for now, movement at the border has slowed down.
