BREAKING: Biden Bankrolls Refugee Groups with Record $5 Billion, Then Plays Helpless at the Border

America’s most radical president funnels staggering sums to resettlement groups as the southern border implodes

If Americans needed proof that Joe Biden is the most pro-open borders president in history, look no further than the eye-popping $5.1 billion he’s shuffled to refugee resettlement groups since 2021.

That’s nearly 14 times more than his predecessor, President Donald Trump, spent across 4 full years—and more than twice as much as Barack Obama spent in 8 years.

At the same time, Biden presides over—and is responsible for—the worst border meltdown in U.S. history, with an unprecedented 20 million aliens living here illegally. That’s equal to the entire population of New York state. Worse, experts point out that should Biden be reelected this November we can expect another 15 to 20 million illegal aliens by the time he leaves office in Jan. 2029.

A Flood from the Swamp

Restoration News traced federal awards to 7 NGOs authorized to resettle refugees from war-torn, impoverished countries to the U.S. interior. Not surprisingly, these groups all lean left and stand to benefit financially from Democrat policies that dramatically expand immigration, legal or otherwise. Remember that many of the illegal aliens who reach the U.S. border are eligible to seek asylum under international law.

The nominally Evangelical group World Relief (Biden bucks: $372 million) advocates against “systemic and structural issues that perpetuate extreme poverty and injustice,” jargon straight out of the Marxist Left’s codebook. In practice, that means granting U.S. citizenship to 100,000 Afghans resettled in the wake of Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, many of whom were unvetted and linked to terror groups. World Relief supports the Afghan Adjustment Act, a Democrat-backed bill endorsed by the left-wing National Immigration Forum, itself funded with grants from World Relief.

It also lobbies for Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program granting U.S. citizenship to the children of illegal aliens (so-called “dreamers”). World Relief may use arguments that sound like Scripture, but its agenda is identical to that of the secular Left—and the Democratic Party—which is why its heavily funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Church World Service (Biden bucks: $722 million) also uses Christian-ese to lobby for DACA citizenship. But it goes further, arguing for citizenship for all illegal aliens. Many of CWS’ refugee resettlement offices are in swing states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (Biden bucks: $1.3 billion) lobbies for more liberal asylum laws to bring as many as 70 million more refugees globally into the U.S., including “environmental migrants” supposedly displaced by global warming. Thousands from Central America ended up flooding into Cleveland last year.

And once here, the committee wants refugees to control our borders. In November, the committee endorsed the Democrat-backed “Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act” ordering Homeland Security to hire refugees for government jobs.

That bill was also backed by the International Rescue Committee (Biden bucks: $2.1 billion), which champions illegal border crossings under international asylum laws. In 2022 alone the group resettled 62,000 refugees in America. How many more will follow in 2024?

Grounds for Impeachment

Under Trump, illegal border crossings dropped to a 50-year low. Despite Democrat intransigence and judicial meddling, he built 400 miles of new border wall. Then the radical Left booted Trump and (literally) welded the floodgates open, 114 in total, ended the successful Remain in Mexico policy, and declared war on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for defending Texas’ 1,200-mile border.

None of that’s by mistake.

As President, Joe Biden has the authority to seal tight the U.S. border with the stroke of a pen. He just doesn’t want to. Instead of changing course, he’s cynically playing helpless in order to blame the disaster on congressional Republicans, who oppose Democrats’ extreme border bill.

“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I’ve been in office,” he lied when recently asked if he’d done all he could do to stem the tide. “Give me the border patrol. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”

That gambit is backfiring bigly. Swing state voters favor Trump 22 points over Biden on handling immigration. House Republicans are preparing to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas (D) for failing to do his sworn duty to protect the national border. Joe Biden is next.

The President is obligated to enforce the laws passed by Congress. But Biden has utterly vacated his authority under the U.S. Constitution. If Congress doesn’t pull him out of office, voters must.
