This is a reposting of the brilliant Tierney’s Real News Substack story…
Click here for the whole story: Welfare Fraud Racket
Refugees cost Minnesota taxpayers an estimated $107,000 each in food, housing, education, aid, medical expenses and other services. Communities have no control over the in-flow of refugees, yet they must share the cost of supporting them. And residents often don’t speak out or even ask questions of the process for fear of being called racists.
The VOLAGs work with 350 subcontractors and are paid up to $4,225 per head to resettle refugees in Minnesota. Though they are officially “non-profit” organizations, these quasi-Governmental organizations are profiting from lucrative contracts with the Federal Government to resettle refugees in the United States.
The irony is that these VOLAGS, which were once organized to serve their local communities, have now really lost much of their original purpose and have become agents for those bringing non-Christians to America. Critics argue they are now no longer private charities but instead well paid subcontractors of the Federal Government.
Catholic Charities has grown into a huge $3.8 billion operation with more than 65,000 employees. Half of its funding–$2 billion–comes from the Federal Government, through the Office of Faith Based Initiatives. 98 percent of Catholic Charities refugee resettlement budget comes from the federal government. 97 percent of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service’s budget comes from the federal government.
If the vaunted, new Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk doesn’t shut this kind of crap down it will be criminal neglect on an epic scale.
And you can bet your ass it’s not just happening in Minnesota.
The Liberator
All that money to aid a person or family in moving into a state and at the same time allowing vets to be homeless
Shameful
This is totally ridiculous that the people in this country have no say in this matter.
