Big spenders are using nonprofit NGOs to build their power and influence

There are a few things more cruel than what President Biden did by illegally opening up our borders to over 10 million illegal aliens during his four year tenure.

But what might be worse is that he used your tax dollars to pump up not for profit organizations to facilitate the illegality.

It was always the grand design of Democrats to consolidate their power by importing millions of new potential democratic voters from across the southern border.

The pandemic of 2020 gave them the perfect cover. We were in a state of emergency, which gave a pass for elected officials to dramatically increase federal spending. And when we say dramatic, we mean increasing the budget from $4.5 trillion to over $7 trillion in the blink of an eye.

For decades, the left wanted to be able to fund all of their socialist goals but could never get the spending plans through in normal times. But Covid era allowed the socialists to incorporate anything and everything into the final budget plan under the guise of protecting the safety of the American people.

However, snuck into these huge spending bills were billions and billions of dollars for the left’s favorite not for profit groups, also known as Non Government Organizations (NGO’s). These are groups that would help President Biden assist illegal immigrants to come into our country and settle here.

These are groups, such as Make the Way New York, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Haitian Bridge Alliance, Global Refuge, Southwest Key Programs, and Endeavors, kand even catholic charities. Democrats love these NGOs, not only because they facilitate their leftist agenda, but also because they create a huge political power base.

Democrats have found that it’s even more advantageous to flood NGOs with more money than hiring more government employees. Government employees are prohibited by the Hatch Act to give money or campaign help for congressional candidates. But the NGO is far more free wheeling.

The Democrats take your taxpayer dollars to fund these radically left organizations to pay their salaries, for which the employees of these groups are forever grateful to their benefactors. Come election time, they have an army of door knockers and ballot harvesting friends who show up in the Democratic precincts.

Fortunately, there are many congress members who are trying to end this gravy train. If these groups want to prosper, let them get private donations, but in no event should they be helping to facilitate illegality, as they have with the illegal immigration movement.

Call your Congress member and demand that they stop using your tax dollars to promote these groups that promote illegality.
