Biden admin diverts $2B from COVID, health spending to care for migrant kids
Secretary Xavier Becerra pulled $850 million more out of a fund meant to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile
By Mary Kay Linge | New York Post
The Biden administration has pulled more than $2 billion out of programs authorized by Congress for COVID-19 testing, emergency medical supplies and other health needs — and is spending it on shelter for the 45,000 unaccompanied migrant children that have flooded across the US border this year.
The Department of Health and Human Services siphoned $850 million out of funds allocated for testing in President Biden’s massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, Politico reported Saturday.
Secretary Xavier Becerra pulled $850 million more out of a fund meant to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile of items like medical gloves, masks, antibiotics and ventilators, and yanked $436 million out of other health programs, according to HHS spokesman Mark Weber.

Funny how the courts blocked Trump from using DOD funding on construction of the boarder wall, yet Biden is allowed to reallocate any departmental funding to whatever he wants with impunity.

Only when the president isn't a member of the Swamp in good standing.
