More Tax Dollars Go to Immigration Enforcement Than Ever Before

Posted April 15, 2010 by Patrick Young, Esq.

The Immigration Policy Council has released some data for Tax Day on where your dollars are going for immigration enforcement.

Since Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, the budgets of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - the border-enforcement and interior-enforcement components of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - have increased dramatically. CBP’s budget grew from $6 billion in FY 2004 to $11.4 billion in FY 2010, while ICE’s budget increased from $3.7 billion to $5.7 billion over the same period.
