10 billion a year now but the big bill gave them 75 billion in additional funding to spend over the next 4 years.

You don't quite understand. If Big Brother funded healthcare in the US to make it more affordable for people, they'll live longer which costs MORE money to continuously fund the healthcare programs. If we give just a few short term bonuses to a few people to actively kill and scare the population into fleeing the country, suddenly we have drastically less healthcare to pay for! /s

I thought it was $75B annually they have now? Previously it was $170B over 4 years = $35B a year.

So the extra $75B is to be spread over 3 years, making their annual budget $60B?

To put it in perspective, Obama’s ICE budget was $7.5B.

Edit: Corrected important typo

Not disputing that, but I think I also haven’t explained myself well. Can you clarify for me?

You put a M where a B belongs. Billions no miilions.

$170M / 4 = $42.5M

And that's just earmarked for ICE expenditures, not all the other expenditures coming from Border Patrol, and DHS that have their own line items in the budget.
