Original Note:
No such program exists. Migrants do not receive any cash assistance (except for some Cubans and Haitians under a Reagan-era law). In fact, migrants are barred from most federal welfare benefits. Most migrants must pay for their own transportation from the border as well. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/05/fact-check-do-refugees-get-more-benefits-than-social-security-recipients/5948233001/ https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/title-42-here-are-the-benefits-migrants-can-and-cannot-qualify-for/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/07/us/migrant-buses-texas-nyc-los-angeles.html
