How US Taxpayers Funded the Largest Illegal Migration in History

For four years, I’ve reported about how a large, organized constellation of United Nations agencies partnered with hundreds of private nonprofit groups to direct billions of mostly US-taxpayer dollars into supporting historic illegal southern border crossing levels during President Joe Biden’s term in office.Even for the new Trump administration, this conglomerate of 15 UN agencies and 230 NGOs was proposing to spend yet another $1.4 billion on the migration trail in 2025, $1.2 billion more for 2026.That’s in addition to the more than $6 billion from 2020-2024 during the greatest mass migration event in American history.

Separately, hundreds of millions more went through NGOs to migrants arriving on the US side for their soft landing resettlements.But now it looks like little to none of that funding will come from US taxpayers going forward.New Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday issued an “exclusive announcement” to Fox News’ Will Cain that Trump has turned off that firehose.“We have stopped all grant funding that’s being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country,” Noem said.

“I’ve taken action to stop those funds, to re-evaluate them and to make sure that we’re actually using taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country, to keep people safe.“We’re not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country.”This highly consequential sea change is guaranteed to finally bring about a badly needed national policy debate about migration.It’s one that Democrats have worked with their UN, NGO and US media brethren to squelch throughout Biden’s term in office.An executive order may be en route with details.

Those are badly needed because Noem didn’t say if the cash halt covers the 15 UN agencies working on the trails too, doing the same work as the NGOs and passing through to them some of that US cash — most of which originates as grants from the US State Dep...
