Only $10 billion? We thought it was a lot more than that. Actually, it was. According to watchdog group Open the Books, the Biden administration funneled the $10 billion in just one year to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Settlement. We bet they used a very loose definition of "refugee."
According to Open The Books, Biden’s HHS spent $10 billion in one year on illegal aliens.

Fox News reports:
The Biden administration spent tens of billions of dollars on grants to migrants and refugees through one of its government agencies, including over $10 billion in just one year, according to a new watchdog report.
The watchdog group Open the Books looked at grants to nonprofits awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. Its responsibilities include caring for unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the southern border illegally and refugees entering legally.
…
According to the watchdog, the money included spending to help migrants save for car and home purchases, while another gave out business and personal loans, along with other programs for legal aid and cultural orientation.
Over his four years in office, Joe Biden spent more than $22 million through the Office of Refugee Settlement.
HHS actually distributed over $22 billion of grant money to illegal aliens according to "Open The Books" during the Biden Administration.

Why is it so hard for Democrats to understand that US tax dollars should be spent on US citizens?

Do you agree?
That's less than I expected actually. Still unconscionable.

We're guessing hundreds of billions total.
That’s just one organization. There is a lot more $$$$ spent on them.

The Office for "Refugee" Resettlement.
Imagine what that money could do for the health and wellness of the American people if properly delegated

How about we resettle them in the countries they came from?
