American taxpayers are funding the border crisis via the UN and NGOs: report

A United Nations report showed how globalists aren’t just putting American taxpayers on the hook for foreign nationals when they cross the southern border.

Estimates have figured around 8 million people have crossed illegally into the United States since President Joe Biden took office, primarily accounting for known entries. Leftist leaders have seen fit to reward the invasion by providing shelter, meals and other amenities instead of a trip back to their homeland and, according to a recent report, the handouts start well before borders get ignored.

Writing for the New York Post, Center for Immigration Studies senior national security fellow Todd Bensman called attention to the UN’s 2024 planning and budget document R4V known as “Inter-Agency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela” which details how $1.6 billion in funds gets allocated to 17 different Latin American countries.

“It confirms the UN, with the helping hands of 248 named non-governmental organizations, is indeed giving debit cards to illegal migrants — funded, in large part, by US taxpayers,” wrote Bensman.

Previously, efforts to expose the scheme in 2021 were discredited by an Agence France-Presse (AFP) Fact Check when a report had pointed to illegals getting handed $800 debit cards on their way to the U.S. through Mexico.

At the time, UN crisis communications and advocacy spokesperson Safa Msehli had contended “‘Electronic purses’ are given only to migrant individuals or families who fit a particular profile,” and that people Bensman had indicated were handing out debit cards work with the UN but are “unaffiliated with the organization.”

Now, the senior fellow pointed to the report as confirmation of his original claim that American taxpayer dollars are being used to “in a nutshell” distribute $372 million in “Cash and Voucher Assistance” and “Multipurpose Cash Assistance” to over 600,000 illegals heading to the United States in 2024.

“That money is most often handed out, other UN documents show, as pre-paid, rechargeable debit cards but also hard ‘cash in envelopes,’ bank transfers, and mobile transfers the U.S. border-bound travelers can use for whatever they want,” stated Bensman.

The report follows other concerns about the “special privileges to illegal immigrants” being spotted at airports in the United States where aliens are said to be permitted to opt out of provided photo identification as part of TSA screening to board domestic flights.

As Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley (R) contended in a letter to the agency, “This practice not only undermines the rule of law but also raises significant security concerns for commercial airflight.”

“The only expression of apparent concern about supporting people clearly intending to break US law shows up on a page depicting a map with the thin red line of a migration route leading to the US border at about El Paso,” wrote Bensman.

“So why hand out hundreds of millions of dollars as cash and services to hundreds of thousands planning to illegally cross that red line, when those nations don’t like or want it and must bear the political controversies of it?” asked the senior fellow. “‘To support access to asylum procedures, migratory regularization activities, and socio-economic integration,’ the plan says.”

Further proof of the federal government facilitating the border crisis came Monday with a ruling from the Supreme Court allowing Border Patrol to remove razor-wire placed by Texas meant to stem the tide of illegal entries into the country, a decision that led Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins (R) to assert in part, “the feds are staging a civil war…”

“With the United Nations and NGOs as fronts,” concluded Bensman, “the United States is paying for its own border crisis. It’s a truth that can’t be ‘fact-checked’ away.”
