In a move that’s sure to raise some eyebrows, the Senate border funding bill has set aside a whopping $1.4 billion to support nonprofit organizations that assist migrants who enter the country illegally. That’s right, folks, your hard-earned tax dollars are being funneled into the pockets of these so-called “charitable” groups who are aiding and abetting individuals who have broken our laws.
Senate Border Bill Would Hand $1.4 Billion To NGOs Helping Illegal Migrantshttps://t.co/NCcr5UadCQ

Now, on page 67 of the 370-page bill, there’s a provision that specifies the allocation of funds to the “Federal Emergency Management Agency–Federal Assistance” for the Shelter Services Program. But let’s not get distracted by the fancy language and bureaucratic jargon. The bottom line is that this money is going towards the care and comfort of those who have decided to disregard our immigration laws and sneak into our country.
And if that’s not enough to make your blood boil, get this: the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 also includes billions of dollars to aid Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and Israel in its battle against Hamas. So while American citizens struggle to make ends meet, our government is handing out billions to foreign countries and organizations that are tangling with their own problems. It’s a real head-scratcher, folks.
But hey, it’s not all bad news. The bill does allocate some funds to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assist with disaster response and recovery efforts. Kudos for that, at least. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the majority of this spending is going towards supporting illegal immigrants and their supposed needs.
It’s high time we prioritize the well-being and safety of American citizens over those who are willfully breaking our laws. Instead of rewarding illegal behavior, let’s focus on securing our borders, enforcing immigration laws, and putting the needs of our own citizens first.
Unfortunately, House Speaker Mike Johnson doesn’t seem to see it that way. He’s already dismissed the bill as “dead on arrival” in the House, and rightly so. We can only hope that our elected representatives will stand up for the American people and put an end to this irresponsible and misguided use of taxpayer funds.
In the end, it’s clear that this border funding bill is just another example of politicians prioritizing their own agendas over the needs of the American people. It’s time for a change, folks. Let’s hold our elected officials accountable and demand stronger border security and a fair immigration system that puts America first.
