Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in New Mexico

DHS awards tagged to New Mexico

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 573 records summing to $3,820,261,373.35. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. An El Paso-coded award is Texas even if the sector story spans the line.

Five hundred seventy-three awards against $3,820,261,373.35 is a mid-thin DHS file: fewer rows than Washington’s 1,424-award DHS cell, a large implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 573 as 573 unique border crossings, FEMA incidents, or unique ports of entry. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not isolate CBP from FEMA or other 070 offices. $3,820,261,373.35 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not “cause” $3,820,261,373.35 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × NM only.

Not crossings, ports of entry, or FEMA incidents

$3,820,261,373.35 does not measure border crossings, FEMA incidents, or unique ports of entry. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 573 awards as a census of border crossings, FEMA incidents, or unique ports of entry. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $3,820,261,373.35 and 573, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not a Texas-border rollup

Place of performance NM is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. An El Paso-coded award is Texas even if the sector story spans the line. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not isolate CBP from FEMA or other 070 offices. $3,820,261,373.35 stays statewide. This packet does not split $3,820,261,373.35 by city, county, or named facility. 573 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Component mix unpublished, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,820,261,373.35 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 573-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $3,820,261,373.35. Sharing a state with DHS does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing DHS in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $3,820,261,373.35 on 573 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as border crossings, FEMA incidents, or unique ports of entry.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,820,261,373.35.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, New Mexico, $3,820,261,373.35, and 573. The compact headline $3.82 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6.67 million is $3,820,261,373.35 divided by 573. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
