Established in\u2063 1936 by the son of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, this foundation has become a major funder\u2062 of leftist causes, ranging from reproductive and gender justice to organizations with ties to Palestinian terror groups.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting mass illegal immigration has become a central focus for the Ford Foundation, which pledges to &#8220;build power and influence immigration policy&#8221; and &#8220;strengthen and broaden the immigrant justice field&#8221; to ensure that immigrants can live without fear, regardless of their documentation status.<\/p>\n<h3>Grant Recipients and Their Agendas<\/h3>\n<p>The Ford\u2063 Foundation has awarded grants to at least 17 organizations\u2064 that advance a left-wing \u2064agenda on\u2063 immigration. One such organization, the National Immigration Project of \u200bthe National Lawyers&#8217;\u200c Guild, received a\u2063 $450,000 grant in \u2062August to provide \u2062maximum protection for\u200b immigrants at risk of deportation.<\/p>\n<p>This organization \u200dlabels America&#8217;s immigration laws \u200das &#8220;racist and\u2064 immoral&#8221; and proudly works on behalf of those most marginalized by these laws.\u2062 It has even\u200b advocated for an end to Texas Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s Operation Lone Star, \u2064calling\u200b it\u200c &#8220;racist&#8221; and\u2064 &#8220;xenophobic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another grant \u2063recipient, the \u200cNational Immigration Law Center, received a\u2064 $100,000 grant in March and \u200bhas \u200ccalled for a pathway to citizenship for millions\u200d of immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center, awarded a $300,000 \u200cgrant, aims to abolish the detention-and-deportation system through advocacy that leverages disability rights frameworks. It \u2062has launched\u2062 multiple lawsuits against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>The United We Dream Network, a radical left-wing \u200cactivist organization, received a $500,000 grant from\u2062 the Ford Foundation. This organization\u200b calls for the defunding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Patrol, and police, as well as amnesty for illegal\u200d aliens. It even demands a moratorium on the enforcement of existing immigration law.<\/p>\n<h3>Changing Public Perception and Organizing Activism<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to funding \u2063legal services and pushing for amnesty, the Ford Foundation has \u200calso provided financial\u2064 support to organizations that seek to change public perception of the \u2063border crisis and organize street-level activism.<\/p>\n<p>La\u2064 Union del \u2062Pueblo Entero, which received\u2062 a $750,000 grant, aims\u200b to offer \u200dimmigrant defense strategies and change the narrative\u2063 of the border. This organization has actively protested border security\u200b measures implemented by Governor Greg Abbott and demanded the removal\u200b of various security measures.<\/p>\n<p>The Undocublack Network, awarded $850,000, focuses on building the power of black immigrants. It provides resources\u2062 for undocumented black individuals facing deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the record-breaking influx of illegal immigrants and the need for secure\u200d borders, the Ford Foundation continues to fund organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty. Their\u2062 significant financial\u200c support plays a crucial\u2064 role \u2063in advancing \u200cthe pro-amnesty agenda and shaping\u200d public opinion on immigration.<\/p>\n<h2>George Soros\u2019 Open Society \u200cFoundations Calls on Biden\u200c Administration to Halt Deportations and Grant Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants<\/h2>\n<p>The Open Society Foundations, led by \u200cGeorge Soros, has made a bold move by urging the Biden administration to put a stop\u2063 to deportations and provide amnesty to illegal immigrants. This call \u200cfor action comes as part of their ongoing efforts to shape America&#8217;s immigration system into one \u200cthat is fair and just.<\/p>\n<p>One of the organizations that received a significant grant from the Open Society Foundations is the\u2062 American \u200dImmigration Council, which is also a \u200bstrong advocate for\u2064 amnesty for illegal \u2062immigrants. With a grant of $550,000, the council\u200c aims to influence public opinion\u2063 and policy regarding immigration, while\u2063 also providing support to the Center for\u200c Inclusion and\u200c Belonging.<\/p>\n<p>Another \u200cnotable recipient of a substantial grant is the Border Network\u2062 for Human Rights, which received a generous award of $1.5 million from the Ford Foundation. \u200bThis \u2063organization has been vocal in its calls for amnesty for illegal aliens, as well as the demilitarization of the border and the closure of immigration detention \u200bfacilities.<\/p>\n<p>But \u200dthe largest grant of all, amounting to $3.5 million, was given to \u2063Make the Road, a\u2063 network of organizations spanning multiple states. Make\u200d the Road actively advocates for \u200bamnesty for millions of illegal immigrants and works to prevent deportations through legal means.<\/p>\n<p>The Center for Cultural Power also received support from the \u2062foundation,\u200c with grants totaling $400,000. Their &#8220;Reclaim the Border&#8221; \u200cinitiative\u200d aims to change the narrative surrounding the border and \u200dprovide assistance\u200b to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-throws-out-challenge-to-president-trumps-bid-to-exclude-illegal-aliens-from-being-counted-in-determining-congressional-seats\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Throws Out Challenge to President Trump\u2019s Bid to Exclude Illegal Aliens from Being Counted in Determining Congressional Seats\">immigrant rights groups<\/a>, journalists, artists, and arts organizations focused \u200bon migrant stories.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few examples of the numerous organizations that have \u200breceived millions of dollars in grants from the Ford Foundation to advance \u200da <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/citizens-object-to-2020-election\/\" title=\"Citizens Object To 2020 Election\">left-wing agenda<\/a> on immigration. However,\u2063 while\u2062 the foundation continues to pour capital into these activist groups, New York City, where it is\u200d based, is struggling to cope\u2064 with\u200c the overwhelming influx of foreign \u2062nationals.<\/p>\n<p>New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently acknowledged that the surge \u2064of illegal immigration is \u200bunsustainable, with thousands of\u200b foreign nationals arriving in the city every week. In response, Adams made significant cuts to police and education budgets to redirect\u200b funds towards managing the crisis. The city plans to spend\u2064 a staggering $12\u200d billion \u2064to care for foreign nationals through fiscal \u200dyear 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, the Ford Foundation approved a $300,000 grant to the Fund for the City of New York to\u2062 support the Immigrant Defense \u200dProject, which\u200c aims to end the mass criminalization, detention, and deportation of\u200d immigrants. This organization even advocates for pardons \u2064for criminally convicted illegal immigrants to prevent their deportation.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this year&#8217;s surge in \u2063funding to groups supporting illegal immigration reflects a \u200ddoubling \u2063down \u2062on past efforts \u2062by the Ford Foundation. Their \u200ccommitment to advancing amnesty \u200cand advocating for the rights of illegal immigrants remains steadfast.<\/p>\n<h2>Millions\u2063 of Dollars\u200c Funneled into Immigration Advocacy<\/h2>\n<p>A \u200dstaggering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/non-profit\/ford-foundation\/\">grand total<\/a> of $114 million has \u200dbeen poured into organizations that oppose immigration enforcement and support amnesty from \u200b2008 to 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this massive financial support aimed at preventing deportations, advocating for amnesty, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mainstream-media-and-big-techs-seismic-shift-to-the-left\/\" title=\"Mainstream Media and Big Tech\u2019s Seismic Shift to the Left\">shaping public opinion<\/a> on\u2062 the border crisis, recent polling\u2062 data reveals that the American\u2062 public is far from\u2064 satisfied with the current administration&#8217;s approach.<\/p>\n<h3>Public Disapproval of Biden&#8217;s Immigration Handling<\/h3>\n<p>According to\u200b a CBS News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/670200251\/cbsnews-20230910-SUN\">poll<\/a> conducted in September, a \u200bwhopping 66% of Americans\u200d disapprove of President Biden&#8217;s handling of immigration. This \u2062disapproval rating has risen from the 62% recorded in a previous Fox \u200cNews <a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fox_June-23-26-2023_Complete_National_Topline_June-29-Release.pdf\">poll<\/a> conducted in late June.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these concerning numbers, the\u200d Ford Foundation, a major contributor \u200cto immigration advocacy, has chosen not to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062In what ways does the financial support\u200c from these private foundations undermine\u200c the integrity of the immigration system \u2063and the well-being of\u200b American\u2063 citizens<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c Implement \u2063a\u200d range\u200d of \u200dmeasures, including increased border security, to combat the issue. \u2064However, the continued funding from the Ford Foundation to pro-amnesty organizations\u2064 undermines these efforts and perpetuates the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b grants \u200cprovided by the Ford Foundation to these organizations not only fund legal services and activism but also seek \u200dto change public perception of\u200b the border crisis. By\u2063 shaping\u200c public opinion and advocating \u2062for amnesty, these organizations have \u200ca significant influence on immigration\u2063 policy and the\u200b public&#8217;s understanding of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b Open\u200d Society\u200c Foundations, led by George Soros, have also joined \u2064in this push for amnesty and an end \u200bto deportations. Through their grants, they aim to shape America&#8217;s immigration system into one that they perceive as fair and just. However, these\u200d efforts disregard the need for secure borders\u200b and the rule of law, which are essential to a functioning society.<\/p>\n<p>The significant financial support from these foundations plays a crucial\u200c role in advancing the pro-amnesty agenda and shaping public opinion on \u2064immigration. While they may claim to advocate for fairness and justice, their actions undermine the integrity of the immigration system and the\u200b well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The record-breaking influx of illegal immigrants and the strain it\u200d places on local communities cannot \u2063be ignored. It is imperative that our\u2063 immigration policies\u200b prioritize the safety and security\u200b of American \u2062citizens,\u2064 as well as the well-being\u200d of legal immigrants\u2062 who have followed \u200bthe proper procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The continued funding from these \u2063private foundations to organizations that\u2062 oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty \u2064only exacerbates the issue. It is crucial for policymakers \u200dto prioritize the\u2064 interests of the American people and take the necessary steps to secure our borders and enforce immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the influx of illegal immigrants at the \u200csouthern border has reached a \u200drecord high, with an estimated 1.7 million entering \u200dthe United \u200dStates since President Joe Biden took office. \u200bDespite this, private foundations such as \u200cthe Ford Foundation \u2064and the Open Society Foundations continue to fund organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty. This\u2063 financial\u200b support not only\u200b undermines efforts to secure our borders but also shapes public opinion on immigration. It is essential \u2062for policymakers to prioritize the interests of the\u200d American people and take the necessary steps to address \u2063this crisis effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a surge in southern border crossings, a staggering 1.7 million illegal immigrants have entered the US since President Biden assumed office.
