In December alone, over 300,000 individuals made the trek.<\/p>\n<p>The Center for\u200d Immigration Studies, a Washington-based watchdog group, discovered that the State Department allocated approximately $1.4 billion to international humanitarian groups in the past year. Despite President Biden&#8217;s claims of taking action to \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-waives-more-migrants-through-southern-border-than-promised\/\" title=\"Biden Admin exceeds promised migrant waivers at Southern border.\">curb \u200dillegal immigration<\/a>, these programs have\u200d continued to receive full funding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Biden is directly\u200b responsible\u2064 for funding a mass migration crisis\u2064 of unprecedented scale, now in its fourth\u200d consecutive year,&#8221; \u200dstated Todd Bensman,\u2062 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-border-threat-so-taboo-that-few-dare-speak-of-it\/\" title=\"A Border Threat So Taboo That Few Dare Speak Of It\">senior national security fellow<\/a> at CIS.<\/p>\n<h3>Government \u2062Funds Funneled Through Faith-Based Nonprofits<\/h3>\n<p>Bensman&#8217;s investigation focused on more than 30 faith-based nonprofit organizations, including Jewish, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic, and nondenominational evangelical groups. He found\u200d that the State Department&#8217;s\u200b Bureau of Population, \u200cRefugees, and Migration, along with the U.S. Agency for International Development, have been providing taxpayer funds \u200cto\u2063 these organizations. The funds are then distributed to support\u200d hundreds \u200bof thousands\u2064 of\u200c migrants as they make their \u200bway towards illegal \u2064border crossings.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the International Organization of Migration, a \u200cUnited Nations group aiding immigrants from Central and South America, has received\u2062 $1.4 \u200cbillion from the Biden\u200c administration.<\/p>\n<p>Bensman highlighted that the State \u200cDepartment openly acknowledges providing guidance to field staff regarding budget and \u2064planning coordination for the Latin American \u2064effort. The department has also handed\u2062 over the \u2064operation of significant U.S. government policy initiatives in Latin America, such as expanding &#8220;refugee&#8221; centers and managing no-interest &#8220;international travel\u2064 loan&#8221; programs.<\/p>\n<p>These programs have raised immigration concerns \u200cboth at the \u200bborder and within\u200b the United States, where\u200c hundreds of thousands of \u2062individuals have been relocated under Biden&#8217;s \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/limbaugh-calling-on-moderate-democrats\/\" title=\"LIMBAUGH: Calling On \u2018Moderate\u2019 Democrats\">open-borders agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It undermines the country by facilitating the northward journey of primarily economic immigrants who willingly embark on the trip, knowing that all their basic needs will\u2062 be \u2063met and \u200cthat\u2063 border\u200d policies virtually guarantee their entry and long-term\u200d stay,&#8221;\u200c Bensman wrote in his investigative report.<\/p>\n<h3>Over Half a Million\u2062 Immigrants Benefit from U.S. Funds<\/h3>\n<p>Bensman&#8217;s findings \u200crevealed that more than half a million immigrants have received financial assistance from \u200cthe U.S. through UN groups and nongovernmental organizations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The UN has\u200c entrusted faith-based\u200c NGOs with handling a significant portion of the $372 million in &#8216;Cash and\u2064 Voucher Assistance&#8217; and &#8216;Multipurpose Cash Assistance&#8217; that\u200c will be distributed to an estimated 624,000\u200d migrants in transit to the United States by\u200d 2024. This money is often provided through prepaid debit cards, cash envelopes, bank transfers,\u200d and mobile transfers, allowing border-bound travelers to use \u200bthe funds as they wish,&#8221; explained Bensman.<\/p>\n<p>He further emphasized that the U.N. plan\u200c for Latin America\u2064 in\u200b 2024\u2064 clearly indicates a joint effort between U.N. and U.S. agencies to\u200c expand the involvement\u2063 of NGOs along migration \u2063routes. This suggests that even more\u200c U.S. taxpayer money will be diverted to support these organizations.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What types of financial aids,\u200c such as money cards\u2062 and cash envelopes, are \u200cbeing provided to immigrants at the border and for what purposes?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Over $24 million in \u2063funding from the U.S. government \u2063in the past year. This\u200c money is\u200d used to \u2062provide transportation and medical assistance \u200bto \u200dmigrants on \u200btheir journey to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation\u200b also discovered that these funds are being used to provide \u200dmoney cards and cash envelopes to immigrants at the border. These financial aids are\u200d meant to help them during their stay in the \u200dUnited\u200c States and provide for their basic\u2062 needs\u200c such \u2062as food, shelter, and transportation.<\/p>\n<p>While the intentions behind these\u2062 initiatives may be well-meaning, critics argue that they are only encouraging more illegal immigration. By providing financial support\u200d to \u2064immigrants, the\u2062 U.S. government is essentially incentivizing more people to \u2064make \u2062the dangerous \u2062journey to the border in hopes of\u2063 receiving these benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this influx of illegal immigrants \u2062poses various challenges for\u200b American taxpayers and the government. The strain on resources such as healthcare, education, and housing is immense, and the cost of providing for these individuals falls on the \u200cshoulders \u200bof American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the current situation at the U.S.-Mexico border has created a humanitarian crisis. Reports of overcrowded detention centers and unsanitary conditions have raised concerns\u200c about the well-being and safety of these \u2063immigrants.\u2062 While efforts are being \u2064made to improve these conditions, the sheer number of people attempting to cross the\u2063 border makes it difficult to\u2063 address all the challenges effectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden \u2062administration \u200bhas been facing \u2062criticism for their handling of the\u2064 immigration crisis. \u200cDespite promises\u2062 to\u2062 address the\u2064 issue, the continuation \u200bof these pro-immigration initiatives suggests\u200b that the government \u2064is \u2063not taking effective steps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-approving-99-of-illegals-seeking-title-42-exceptions\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Approving 99% of Illegals Seeking Title 42 Exceptions\">discourage illegal immigration<\/a> and\u200b protect American taxpayers&#8217; interests.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2064conclusion, the investigation conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals\u2064 that\u2062 illegal\u2062 immigrants attempting to \u200dcross the U.S.-Mexico \u2064border are\u2062 receiving\u200d over $1 billion in benefits funded by American taxpayers. These initiatives, supported\u2062 by religious-based and humanitarian organizations, are meant to provide financial assistance and support to immigrants on their journey. However, critics argue that\u2064 these programs only serve to incentivize\u200c more illegal immigration and place a strain on American\u200c resources. The Biden administration&#8217;s \u200dfailure\u200c to address this issue effectively raises \u200dconcerns about its commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-desantis-announces-he-will-send-florida-law-enforcement-to-assist-at-border-blasts-biden-admin\/\" title=\"BREAKING: DeSantis Announces He Will Send Florida Law Enforcement To Assist At Border, Blasts Biden Admin\">curbing illegal immigration<\/a> and prioritizing the interests\u200d of American citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illegal immigrants attempting to enter the U.S. from Mexico are being given more than $1 billion in money cards, cash, and other benefits funded by American taxpayers through President Biden&#8217;s pro-immigration initiatives.
