Why didn’t the Democrats simply close the borders like President Trump has done rather than giving taxpayer money to those who were intent on forcing their way into the USA?
The USA paid “$6 billion to a network of UN agencies and over 200 NGOs” figure is an estimate from the Center for Immigration Studies (primarily Todd Bensman’s reporting), which Mike Howell of the Oversight Project referenced in congressional testimony.
• It covers funding for a UN-coordinated system of roughly 15 UN agencies (led by UNHCR and IOM) plus about 230 NGOs operating under the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP) and related programs.
• These groups delivered cash and vouchers, food, shelter, medical care, “humanitarian transportation,” and other aid along migration routes through Latin America and Mexico.
• Annual spending on this Latin America migration assistance ran about $1.5–1.7 billion in peak years (roughly $1.72 billion in 2023 and $1.6 billion in 2024). Over the high-migration period from about 2020 to 2024, the total exceeded $6 billion.
• The United States was the largest funder of the main UN agencies involved (UNHCR and IOM received the majority of their budgets from the U.S. through the State Department’s PRM bureau, USAID, and related channels). Funding rose sharply compared with pre-Biden years.
• This is separate from (and in addition to) other U.S. funding streams for NGOs inside the United States that provided shelter, transportation, and services after border encounters (via FEMA programs, HHS for unaccompanied minors, and similar efforts), which also totaled billions.
• Howell and similar critics say this network was necessary for the scale of the border surge, because the U.S. government lacked the capacity to process and move that volume of people on its own; the NGOs and UN agencies filled the gap. IOW - The UN did what the Democrats paid for using taxpayer money.
What do you think of what the Democrats and the UN orchestrated against the will of the Amerian people? Why would anyone vote for a Democrat after they have done this to our country?
We finally have HARD PROOF: Democrats gave “$6 billion to a conglomerate of United Nations agencies and over 200 NGOs” to facilitate the illegal immigration invasion of America
CONFIRMED: It was the United Nations who tried to take down America with the Democrat regime
Mike Howell “I currently serve as the executive director of the Oversight Projects and previously was at DHS and on Capitol Hill conducting oversight of immigration matters. The United States of America is still reeling from the worst border invasion in its history.”
“This invasion could not have been accomplished without a colossal partnership with the NGO community. Simply put, the government just did not have the capacity to get this many people in and around the country without the support of the nonprofits.
And to that end, they gave them almost $6 billion to a conglomerate of UN agencies and over 200 NGOs to do just that”
“The Oversight Project has led the way in exposing what I call this border industrial complex — We did the first of its kind study where we tracked illegal aliens by their cell phones as they went through these nonprofits at the border. In just a one month period in tracking 30,000 devices, so a very small subset of the 10 million that Biden had crossed the border
We found out that the illegals went to nearly EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN THE UNITED STATES. We proved that every town was indeed a border town.”
