Opinion Government using charities to hide just how much money is going to illegal immigration Government using charities to hide just how much money is going to illegal immigration After crossing and surrendering to US Border agents, many migrants are directed to Catholic Charities, which provides them with hotel rooms, meals and clothing, and sometimes pays for their bus or plane tickets to their chosen destinations. Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley explains that the mission is merely to “give a cup of water in Jesus’ name.” Who can argue with that? Except that the money isn’t coming from the Sunday collection basket. Sister Pimentel admits her organization is reimbursed by the federal government. It’s coming from taxpayers, who have no clue they’re supporting this operation...Texans such as Congressman Lance Gooden blame these organizations for “fueling the drastic increases in illegal immigration across our southern border and throughout the country.” - https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/government-hides-money-for-illegal-immigration-in-charities/
Some Republicans don’t like the work of Catholic Charities and other faith-based groups helping migrants at the U.S. border... lawmakers complained that the Biden administration was “allowing non-governmental organizations … the freedom to aid and abet illegal aliens.” In addition, lawmakers sent letters to Catholic Charities, Jewish Family Services and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service demanding that they preserve documents “related to any expenditures submitted for reimbursement from the federal government related to migrants encountered at the southern border.”..The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposed the Secure the Border Act for multiple reasons, including how it treats DHS funding streams to NGOs.- https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2023/07/28/gop-lawmakers-once-praised-catholic-charities-now-they-want-defund-group/
