Department of Homeland Security plans transfer 271 one million dollars to his immigration agency from other departmentssuch as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Coast Guard to increase the number of beds for detained immigrants and support their policies that force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their cases to end.

Asylum seekers were typically released in the United States and allowed to work, but many representatives of the Trump administration believe that migrants use the law and stop appearing in court. Lawyers for migrants awaiting in Mexico report serious problems with clients and their delivery to the US for hearings. And some places in Mexico where migrants go, are unsafe.

This year, more than 860 000 people crossed the southern border, which is the maximum for a decade. Of which 432 838 were in families — last year for the year there were only 107 212 people in families. This increase caused a huge overcrowding of border institutions and reports of offensive, dirty conditions and the fact that children were held for several weeks in temporary institutions that were not designed to contain anyone for more than a few days.

National Security officials will transfer 116 million dollars to finance detention facilities for US immigration and customs. Congress allocated 45 000 beds for detention, but as of August 24, Immigration and Customs Police detained 54 344 people. Congress, in particular, has not authorized additional funding for these purposes.

Pelosi said: “Theft from appropriated funds is always unacceptable, but taking out disaster relief funds to fund a terrible, inhumane family plan — staggering and do it on the eve of the hurricane season — it is incredibly reckless. ”

Members of the democratic chamber accused Department national security in excess of authority. Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, chairman of the House’s Subcommittee on National Security, said the reprogramming will support “inhumane” programs and will take away the necessary funding for other institutions.
