Trump proposed to cancel the allocation of $3.5 billion for the resettlement of migrants

In the draft budget for 2026, US President Donald Trump proposed to stop allocating $3.5 billion for migrant resettlement programs. The document with the proposal is published on the White House website.

"The budget proposes to abolish the asylum and services program, which allocates grants used to facilitate mass illegal migration," Trump said in an explanatory note.

It is noted that the funding allowed cities and states governed by Democrats to transport and shelter illegal migrants, undermining the rule of law and weakening the internal security of the United States.

The head of the White House also said that such measures take away resources from the country's citizens and contribute to an increase in crime and social decline.
