NGOs Cashing in on the Border Crisis

Emmy Griffin 5-17-24 patriotpost.us

Non-governmental organizations are profiting handsomely off the plight of unaccompanied children.

The invasion at the southern border is a masterclass in human trafficking and federal negligence. Millions of people have poured across the open border since President Joe Biden took office. It’s a tragedy and a travesty, but one of the worst aspects of this permitted invasion is the vast number of unaccompanied minors who are not only abused on their journey to the U.S. but who are funneled into even more nefarious forms of trafficking once here.

The Free Press reports on a particularly disturbing aspect of the plight of these unaccompanied minors — namely, non-governmental organizations that are cashing in and further facilitating a cycle of harm. These nonprofit NGOs are basically subcontracted by the government with the task of resettling these children. Charles Marino, former Obama DHS adviser, says: “The amount of taxpayer money they are getting is obscene. We’re going to find that the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money will rival what we saw with the Covid federal money.”

If the amount of waste and fraud is at COVID levels, then heads should roll.

The Free Press focused its investigation on three of the largest NGOs: Endeavors, Inc., Global Refuge, and Southwest Key Programs. It found that each organization received an astronomical influx of government funding, and the use of that funding was questionable.

Each CEO makes between half a million and a million dollars a year.

Endeavors, Inc. — which gets 99.6% of its revenue from the government — shows abundant evidence of waste. It provides pet, plant, and music therapy for the migrant children. One of the music therapists it employs made $533,000 in 2021. To put this in perspective, the national average income of a music therapist is $86,000, according to Glassdoor.com.

Global Refuge — an organization that houses migrant children and facilitates adoptions — also has a somewhat troubling financial track record. In 2019, it was able to house 2,591 minors with a total expenditure of $30 million. In 2022, it served only 1,443 minors and yet spent $82.5 million. In other words, Global Refuge had about half the children and almost triple the expense. Inflation is bad, but this seems fishy.

The CEO of Southwest Key Programs paid himself $1 million in 2022 and is the highest-paid of the trio. According to The Free Press: “Despite a number of scandals in the recent past, including misuse of federal funds and several instances of employees sexually abusing some of the children in its care, Southwest Key continues to operate — and rake in big government checks. In 2020, the year of Covid-19, its government grant was $391 million; by 2022, its contract was nearly $790 million.”

These NGOs and others are raking in government grants dolled out by Health and Human Services’s Office of Refugee Resettlement. Besides the massive amount of taxpayer money being wasted through them, the other problems associated with the rehoming of these minors are exacerbated. There is little to no oversight put in place to protect them. Moreover, the goal is to get them processed and released as quickly as possible. That means the likelihood of them being placed with bad actors, traffickers, and exploiters is higher.

Yet the cycle will continue on both sides of the open border. On the Mexican side, the cartels won’t stop because they rake in tens of millions of dollars a week. On the American side, the NGOs will continue to obtain government funding to the collective tune of billions. It’s a lose-lose for American taxpayers and for the illegal immigrants who are exploited.

 

Our once great Republic has been 'totally transformed' into the most hectic chaotic nation on the planet. It is total insanity in the making!

 

Illegal crossings at northern border sector reach 'record-breaking milestone'

Candace Hathaway May 15, 2024 theblaze.com

More apprehensions in April than in all of fiscal years 2021 and 2022 combined.

Illegal immigrant crossings at a northern border sector reached a "record-breaking milestone" last month, according to Border Patrol Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia.

Garcia wrote in a social media post on Tuesday that the Swanton Sector experienced a significant increase in illegal alien encounters.

"Another record-breaking milestone in northern border history! Swanton Sector continues to encounter an unprecedented number of undocumented migrants, with well over 1,400 apprehensions in the month of April, surpassing the total number of apprehensions of FY 21 and FY 22 combined," he stated.

'It was a flood we had never seen before.'

The sector witnessed 365 encounters in fiscal year 2021 and 1,065 in 2022, according to Customs and Border Protection data. The following year, that number skyrocketed to 6,925. Over the first seven months of fiscal year 2024, the Swanton Sector has already executed more than 6,500 illegal alien apprehensions. This year is on track to far outpace 2023's record-breaking stats.

From April 28 through May 4, the sector apprehended 492 illegal immigrants, Garcia noted.

"Since 1924, the U.S. Border Patrol has been entrusted with safeguarding the American homeland. Despite a century of changes, Swanton Sector's commitment to upholding our core values of vigilance, integrity and service to country has remained constant," Garcia stated in an April post on X.

The Swanton Sector comprises eight stations that support several counties in New York and New Hampshire and the entire state of Vermont. The area includes 295 miles of border, including 203 miles of land and 92 miles of water boundary.

Champlain Border Patrol agents, who cover one of the sector's eight stations, detained 220 illegal immigrants over just one week in April. The prior month, the station apprehended 158 illegal aliens from 14 different countries, Garcia stated.

Erik Lavallee, the Border Patrol agent in charge of the U.S. Border Patrol Beecher Falls Station in the Swanton Sector, told WBZ-TV in March, "It was a flood we had never seen before. It was an exponential shift, something we were not expecting, and it just hit us hard."

"We understand completely that the northern border issues versus the southern border issues are apples and oranges. However, that being said, having been up in this sector for almost 20 years, I have never seen anything like it," he added.

According to Border Patrol, the vast majority of illegal immigrants crossing the northern border are from India, Bangladesh, Haiti, and Venezuela.

Lavallee told WBZ that most of the illegal aliens are single adult men, many of whom are involved in human smuggling.

"We know there are multiple organizations that are utilizing Canada to smuggle individuals into the United States," he stated.

 

With this silent invasion of illegal aliens - the USA will become the crime capital of the planet - just wait and see!

 

Michigan county plagued by 'burglary tourism' as foreign crime gangs abuse US visa waiver program

By Elizabeth Heckman Fox News May 15, 2024

New trend of 'burglary tourism' on the rise

Oakland County sheriff battling a 'cycle' of sophisticated Chilean crime groups robbing homes.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard on international thieves costing a Michigan community $1 million per year, says they came to the U.S. to commit crimes.

A Michigan sheriff is sounding the alarm on "burglary tourism" — a recent trend where international organized crime groups enter the U.S. to skillfully rob wealthy suburban homes.

"We believe that there has to be some kind of training camp because they come so well-trained, so equipped, and so knowledgeable about how to move and how to attack a home," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard on Wednesday told "FOX & Friends."

"They do a lot of pre-op surveillance. They determine as best they can when someone won't be in a home. They go very quickly to the home, they break a window. They go through it, not opening a door or window. They have an electronic jammer."

Bouchard said the gangs, mostly from Chile, are then able to quickly target home safes and small high-end items.

"They're very focused on high-end jewelry, like watches, cash, high-end purses… things that are highly, valuable and disposable. And out they go and they move on. They usually hit a number of homes in our area, and then they move on to another part of the country, and then another crew will come in. And it's been a cycle," he said.

Bouchard urged the State Department to reevaluate Chile's participation in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, which allows tourists and business travelers to enter America for 90 days or less without having to obtain a visa or go through a thorough vetting process.

"All we're asking is that the federal government either pause or discontinue Chile from that program. Now, that doesn't mean they can't come and visit from Chile. They just have to get a traditional visa with a higher level of scrutiny and background than what happens currently with the BWP," he said, adding that Colombians entering the U.S. through the southern border are also contributing to the crimes.

Similar crimes have been reported in California, New Jersey and New York.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer has been warning about the issue since last summer, calling the Southern California burglaries "carefully calculated and planned." 

Spitzer filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration for failing to respond to public records requests involving documentation on the issue. He has also called on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to use his powers to strike Chile from the program.

The South American nation, which the State Department describes as a regional leader for the rule of law and economic stability, is the only Latin American country on the 41-country list.

 

Lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness. Sanctuary cities are a perfect example. Amerika - such a country!

 

Illegals accused of beating cops in New York's Times Square offered slap-on-the-wrist plea deals

By Monica Showalter www.americanthinker.com

On what planet does assaulting a police officer merit a mere six months in the slammer?

Only Planet New York.

According to the Daily Mail:

Six of the migrants accused of assaulting two New York City Police Department officers in Times Square have been offered plea deals - including one who was re-arrested while out on $15,000 bail. 

Ulises Bohorquez, Yohenry Brito, Edgarlis Vegas, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, Wilson Juarez, Yorman Reveron and Kelvin Servita Arocha appeared in New York Supreme Criminal Court on Tuesday in front of Judge Laura Wood.

The Venezuelan migrants were charged with second-degree assault and the obstruction of a government admin following the attack on January 27 which was caught on video and all have pleaded not guilty.

They were offered this:

The Manhattan District Attorney's office has offered plea deals to Bohorquez, Brito and Gomez-Izquiel for them to serve a year in prison in return to pleading guilty to second-degree assault.

Arocha and Juarez have been presented a deal where they serve six months in prison for pleading guilty to obstructing a government admin.

Yorman Reveron was also offered a deal of two years in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to second degree assault.

The rest of us would go to prison for ten years if we assaulted a police officer, but these illegals are special.

Worse still, the judge must have inspired smirks among the thugs with her ridiculous scoldings, buttressed with hollow 'one more time' warnings:

Judge Wood hit out at Brito during the hearing and threatened to throw him in jail if he puts another foot wrong while out on bail.

'I am furious that Mr Brito was rearrested and charged with petty larceny while he was out on this case,' she said.

'I am very tempted right now to put you in jail. I am telling you right now, if I learn you are rearrested for anything at all between now and this case being finished, I will order a warrant and I will place bail so high you will not get out.

'If you jaywalk, if you jump a turnstile, if you do anything at all and I have to issue a warrant, you will not see the light of day until this case is over.

'Do I make myself perfectly clear?'

Suuuure she made herself clear. The message the thug got was that next time he did it, he'd get an even sterner warning. She might even yell at him. What he wouldn't get was any fear of jailtime. The thug, who is likely among the emptied contents of Venezuela's prison system, will carry on with his life of crime plaguing New York and beyond, with no fear of jailing, let alone deportation.

It sends a terrible message to illegals that any crimes they commit will not be seriously punished, even if they are direct attacks on police officers whose job is to protect New Yorkers.

The wimpy ineffectiveness is going to resound with the illegals, who've just got another green light to express their contempt for this country and prey on its citizens, as if being allowed in this country with their clearly disgusting backgrounds were not enough. It's also likely to attract more criminals to New York from among the world's illegals getting in. Not only is it 'if I cross, I can stay,' it's 'if I prey, it's no loss.'

And it will be noticed by New York's cops, too, who will be even less inclined to stick their necks out and more inclined to retire at their desks, waiting for their pensions. This brand of "justice" being meted out is a middle finger to them once again, just like the earlier illegal migrant who flashed that after coming out of a courthouse (and eventually was not charged). Who could blame them?

That's going to be toxic for New Yorkers, and well deserved if they keep electing District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose focus is on bookkeeping "felonies" in kangaroo courts against President Trump, while at the same time, letting real criminals walk.
