This is a direct consequence of the Biden Administration\u2019s policies,\u201d a press release from Gooden states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The letter specifically points to the role of federally-funded NGOs in the immigration process, highlighting the fact that non-governmental organizations like United Way receive federal grants and \u201creportedly use DHS grant funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide aid to illegal aliens.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>NGOs Receiving Millions of Taxpayer Dollars to Provide Aid to Illegal Aliens<\/h3>\n<p>The letter also points out that United Way and other NGOs are \u201creceiving millions of taxpayer dollars to provide free food, lodging, and transportation for illegal aliens across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gooden asserts that the drastic surge in illegal immigration is \u201cfueled in part by NGOs like those on the EFSP National Board\u201d before urging NGOs involved in immigration to \u201cprioritize transparency and fiscal responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will remain vigilant in our oversight of federal grants, to safeguard against any misuse of funds that could further exacerbate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/calls-for-biden-white-house-to-act-on-border-crisis-continue-to-grow\/\" title=\"Calls for Biden White House to act on border crisis continue to grow\">current border crisis<\/a>,\u201d Gooden also stated.<\/p>\n<h3>NGOs Play a Disturbing Role in the Inflow and Spread of Illegal Immigrants<\/h3>\n<p>In an earlier letter from Rep. Gooden, he stated, \u201cTaxpayer-funded non-governmental organizations (NGO) play a disturbing role in the inflow and spread of illegal immigrants throughout the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also charged that many nonprofits act as \u201cresettlement agencies to secretly transport and lodge undocumented migrants\u201d by \u201cbussing and flying illegal aliens to a destination of their choice and housing them in hotels.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Costs of Illegal Immigration to U.S. Taxpayers<\/h3>\n<p>Recent reports have found that the Department of Health and Human Services spent approximately $13 billion sponsoring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/51-lawmakers-warn-biden-immigration-order-could-make-border-crisis-catastrophic-overnight\/\" title=\"51 Lawmakers Warn Biden Immigration Order Could Make Border Crisis \u2018Catastrophic Overnight\u2019\">unaccompanied minors<\/a> left at the southern border with Mexico since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Various NGOs tasked with caring for unaccompanied minors, including Southwest Key Programs and Baptist Child and Family Services, have received grants from the federal government.
