OUTRAGEOUS: Nonprofits Helping Illegals Took $291 Million From Taxpayers
President Trump said during his presidential campaign that it was time to “drain the swamp.”
That statement could not be more true than of non-profits that took hundreds of millions of dollars from taxpayers as they helped illegal immigrants.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported:
“Taxpayers funded eight nonprofits that serve, protect or advocate for illegal immigrants with more than $291 million between 2012 to 2016, according to an analysis of federal spending data and tax documents by the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.
The eight groups — including at least one that endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 — provide a variety of support to illegal aliens, ranging from legal and social services to political advocacy.
Ninety-four percent of the public funds — or, nearly $274 million — came from the federal government, according to data obtained from USAspending.gov and 990 tax forms.
The $291 million total in public funding, however, is almost certainly an underestimate, since the respective 990s of each implicated nonprofit for all five years were not always available. Additionally, those groups only represent a small sample of publicly-funded pro-illegal immigrant nonprofits.”
Those tax dollars should have gone to helping American citizens, not foreign nationals that are inside the country illegally.
