Henry Cuellar: “How much of that $260 billion that the authorizer set aside…”

“As you know, the first reconciliation bill provided $191 billion to DHS. The next reconciliation added nearly $70 billion to ICE and CBP. How much of that $260 billion that the authorizer set aside for the inspector general to ensure that this massive amount of funding is not wasted or stolen? 0. When we do supplementals as an example that includes funding for DHS, we typically allocate to OIG 1/4 of 1%, that I emphasize 1/4 of 1% of the total funds for oversight.” (00:26–00:41)
