The Department of Health and Human Services is raiding several of its accounts, including money for Medicare, the Ryan White AIDS/HIV program and those for cancer and flu research to cover a shortfall in housing illegal young people pouring over the border at a rate of 255 a day.
The Washington Examiner reports HHS is trying to come up with $167 million to fund the Office of Refugee Resettlement who say the funding crisis has forced the department to squeeze other programs for money.
They say the money will be used for things like shelters, health care, and recreation. What’s more all that money will pay for just one month of services for the illegal arrivals.
