The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has notified Congress that it will transfer an additional $589 million, some of which comes from funding marked for COVID-19 vaccination efforts, to its program to shelter unaccompanied migrant children who have entered the U.S. at the southern border -- part of more than $4 billion that has been diverted to the program this year.
HHS informed Congress that it is diverting $225 million in National Institute of Health (NIH) funding that was part of the December COVID-19 relief bill to the unaccompanied children (UAC) program, as well as $364 million in HHS funding that was passed as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP), a congressional source told Fox News. Data shared with Fox News confirms that source's account.
Of the ARP funding, $187.5 million had been marked for the Centers for Disease Control for "vaccine planning, distribution, monitoring and tracking" and an additional $25 million for "vaccine confidence activities." Meanwhile $151 million of the diverted funding had been tagged for the "Supply Chain for Vaccines, Therapeutics and Medical Supplies."

But if you want to divert some funds to keep them out that is unconstitutional!
And we have veterans sleeping rough along with our elderly. I am beyond sickened.
Keeps DEMS in power while at the same time GROWING THE POLICE STATE THAT HELPS PROTECT THAT POWER.
So the comfort of illegal immigrants are more important to HHS than vaccines for Americans.
Can’t believe those heartless illegal aliens are causing the spread of COVID-19. Can’t something be done?
You're kidding, right? Most conservatives are at home cracking open another one wondering when the NFL season starts and believing none of this will impact their daily lives.
If it’s not going to be spent on its allocated use, why are they permitted to do whatever they want with it? I thought Congress was supposed to be in charge of spending. Refund the taxpayers.
More free money to an invading army...and yes, children can be part of an invading army.
Kind of like shifting defense money to build a wall? Something Nancy Pelosi cried and whined about to the press for months?
so, instead of treating Americans suffering from covid and trying to treat them to prevent the spread of covid... the dems plan to take that money and set up homes for INFECTED illegals they are dragging into the country so they can continue contaminating the country and killing Americans
awesome
deliberately taking steps which lead to the deaths of Americans.
how is that not treason?
It’s been a YEAR since the fire that took my community.. thousands of old AMERICAN CITIZENS can’t find a place to live! And yes... OREGON is rampant with Covid... from the damn border. DUH
