Legislation· Dec 2023Sponsored by Nicole Malliotakis (R)
Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act of 2023
Would have blocked federal housing for migrants on federal lands and revoked a New York City lease.
Tradeoff
Saves the federal government about $27.8 million annually by ending a National Park Service lease with New York City for migrant housing. The city loses that revenue and up to 2,000 migrants lose temporary shelter.
What's in it
Saves approximately $27.8 million annually (the $20.8 million annual rent plus $7 million in management costs) by revoking the NPS lease with New York City for Floyd Bennett Field.
The $27.8 million annual savings represents the lease and management payments the federal government would no longer make to New York City; the bill's real impact falls on the city, which loses that revenue stream, and on the up to 2,000 migrants who would lose temporary housing at that location.
The House passed this 224-203 on November 30, 2023. The Senate never voted on it before the Congress ended.
