Arizona Sen. furious to receive half as much migrant crisis money as NYC

Arizona leaders are calling for more funding to be directed to the southern border as states like New York are getting nearly double the amount of money to address the migrant crisis.

This year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has given more than $290 million to help fund migrant shelters and provide health care, food and other services to border communities.

Of the money that FEMA is giving out, Arizona is set to receive $69.4 million, and the state is home to one of the busiest sectors right now. Meanwhile, New York is set up for $134.6 million in funding. This funding comes from an $800 million pot set aside by Congress for the border crisis.
