GOP must help defund international agencies undermining national security
The United Nations, to which American taxpayers are the largest donor, is aiding and abetting migrants illegally crossing the U.S. southern border.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, along with the International Organization for Migrants, is providing hard cash, food, shelter, pharmaceuticals, transportation, legal services and asylum coaching for migrants making their journey into the U.S., according to a speech to House lawmakers this month from Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.
American taxpayers ponied up $1.7 billion — or 40% of UNHCR’s revenues in 2019, the last year for which expenditures are fully known, and gave $600 million to the IOM, representing almost 30% of that agency’s budget in 2019, according to an analysis by the Council on Foreign Relations.
Overall, the U.S. contributes about $11 billion annually to the U.N., making it the world’s largest donor, with $5.5 billion of that money going to migration and refugee support activities.
“I found my first clue on a Rio Grande riverbank on the Mexican side: a discarded UNHCR-stamped booklet advising in great detail how migrants can and should travel north with the greatest chance of safety and success,” Mr. Bensman told the House Freedom Caucus on Feb. 1.
“Later, in Reynosa, Mexico, I witnessed the United Nations grantee, the IOM, hand out cash debit cards to migrants in long, snaking lines. The workers handing them out said they give $400 every 15 days to families of four, renewable every two weeks.”
In 2021, migration into the U.S. from the southern border hit an all-time record of nearly 2 million Border Patrol apprehensions in a single year, with an estimated 500,000 or more “got-aways.”
As the border crisis rages on, it is unconscionable the U.S. continues to fund U.N. agencies that are actively undermining our national security by assisting those trying to invade our border. --->READ MORE HERE
Using U.S.-supplied funds, the United Nations is helping illegal immigrants with money and tales of woe to get into Mexico and the United States, according to a series of new reports.
In what could be viewed as an end-run around U.S. border rules, the world body is giving illegal immigrants cash cards to pay for stops to the border and providing psychologists to help migrants “recover repressed memories” from back home that could sway U.S. asylum reviewers, according to reports.
Based on interviews and physical evidence, three reports from Todd Bensman on behalf of the Center for Immigration Studies show how deeply the U.N. is involved in the global immigration movement that steered 2 million illegal immigrants to the U.S. border last year.
In the reports, Bensman detailed how U.N.-backed groups and nongovernmental organizations are working overtime to help the migrants. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a related story:
