>There's loads of federal funding that goes to Texas states and localities as well, such as: https://cuellar.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=407420

The link you provided is specifically in regards to border security and LEO operations to tackle issues like fentanyl smuggling, which is separate from the humanitarian aid big-brained Redditors insist gets "stripped" from Texas.

>Maybe that funding

You want federal funding for border security to be diverted to NYC, which shares no land border with Central America?

You do realize funding for border security is wholly separate from the funds used for economic migrants claiming asylum, right?

​

>and a portion of the funding going to Texas NGOs should instead go to NYC and NYC NGOs.

The NGOs which receive multi-million dollar federal grants are large national organizations that all have operations in NYC, so a charity such as United Way should be able to take the millions in taxpayer money they get and disperse it efficiently across their networks.

NYC has gotten around 17,000 migrants in the past five months. Texas gets that many every week.
