UN Budgeted $372 Million For Mass Migration Into The U.S.

[Reagan]

This is from an AI search of what Trump referred to at the UN speech.  During this time I knew something was going on.  These people were well dressed, had water and other stuff.  I knew they just didn't walk thousands of miles by the look of some of them.  Some were pushing a baby stroller.  There were 24 NGO's involved.  I did hear the snake Soros was involved.  Is this what the UN was created for?  Absolutely not!  

UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States." (Note: The figure is $372 million, not $374 million as stated in the query; this may be a minor rounding or transcription error.)This amount stems from the UN's publicly available 2024 "Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan" (RMRP) for Latin America and the Caribbean, a humanitarian initiative coordinated by agencies like the UNHCR, IOM, and others to aid approximately 3 million refugees and migrants across 17 countries in the region. The $372 million is specifically earmarked for "Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA)" and "Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MCA)"—distributed via debit cards, envelopes, bank transfers, or mobile payments—to help cover basic needs like food, transportation, shelter, health care, and legal aid for 624,000 people identified as "in-transit" migrants (many of whom are heading northward toward the U.S. border).Key Details on the Funding

Total Regional Budget: $1.59 billion overall for the plan, with a growing portion supporting onward movement toward the U.S.

Breakdown of Related Allocations (beyond the $372 million cash aid):

Rent and Temporary Shelter:

$122 million

473,000 people

Housing support in countries like Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

Humanitarian Transportation:

$25.8 million

129,000 people

Aid for border crossings and travel, including $27.5 million in Colombia alone for 161,000 travelers.

Broader Cash Expansion:

$184 million

1.2 million people

Includes multi-purpose cash for vulnerable groups, such as those facing gender-based violence.

These funds are delivered through 24 NGO partners in countries like Colombia (95,000 recipients), Ecuador, Mexico (59,000 recipients), Brazil, and Panama. The plan explicitly supports access to asylum processes, regularization, and socio-economic integration, including for those in "irregular situations" (e.g., undocumented migrants). While the assistance indirectly facilitates migration by covering transit costs, the UN frames it as lifesaving humanitarian aid amid crises like Venezuela's collapse, which has displaced millions.  Critics, including Trump and some U.S. lawmakers, argue this effectively subsidizes illegal border crossings using U.S. taxpayer dollars (as the U.S. contributes about 22% of the UN's budget). For instance, Rep. Lance Gooden reintroduced legislation in March 2025 to block U.S. funds from supporting such UN programs.
