The Biden-Harris administration announced on Wednesday that its handing out hundreds of millions in more funding to local and state governments dealing with the illegal immigration crisis.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is handing out more than $380 million through FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP) to communities across the country that are providing shelter, care and other services to illegal migrants and other foreign nationals that have recently been released from federal custody, the department announced in a press release. The additional allocation highlights the sheer amount of money the Biden-Harris administration is continuing to spend on migrants, despite a recent decline in unlawful border crossings.
“Through the SSP, DHS directly supports communities that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation to noncitizens recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings,” DHS stated.
“FEMA, in coordination with [Customs and Border Protection], is administering these SSP grants with state, local and tribal governments as well as nongovernmental organizations to help prevent the overcrowding of short-term CBP holding facilities,” the DHS statement continued.
The funding announced this week augments the nearly $260 million in SSP grants distributed in April 2024, according to DHS. The Biden-Harris administration awarded over $780 million through SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program in fiscal year 2023 to various organizations and cities across the United States.
DHS also touted a “significant decline” in migrant encounters since President Joe Biden issued an executive order in June that cracks down on illegal border crossings. Border Patrol encounters in July dropped 32% from the previous month, marking the lowest monthly total along the U.S.-Mexico border since September 2020, according to DHS. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
