News that makes me very happy!

 

I'm delighted to learn that as one of her first acts upon taking office, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is cutting funds to most of the non-governmental organizations that are the driving force behind much of the illegal migration that's plaguing our country.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday the department has stopped all grant funding to nonprofits that operate outside of government control, saying they have been "perverted into a shadow government" that feeds illegal immigration.

Noem said some non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which receive millions in federal grants, have been facilitating illegal immigration by helping aliens cross the U.S. border.

"Many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico, on that side of the border, and are telling those illegal immigrants to come to them, and they will get them across the border," Noem said on Fox News Channel's Will Cain Show. "So they're not just operating in the United States, they're operating outside the United States to help make it easier for those who want to break our laws."

The first step to curbing the issue is to freeze the funds, reevaluate them, and make sure taxpayer dollars are going toward safe causes, she said.

"I think people are curious [to see how] grants that are given out by federal agencies [are] utilized," Noem said. 

Until an evaluation is completed, Noem said the department is "not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country."

There's more at the link.

The Biden administration funneled literally billions of dollars into organizations such as Catholic Charities, HIAS, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services and the like.  These organizations have grown fat by sucking on the government teat, and in many cases have become nothing more or less than an alternative bureaucracy to the government agencies that sponsor them.  I've had extensive contact with many of them as a pastor and chaplain, and regard almost all of them as literal traitors to the United States.  They're perfectly willing - indeed, some seem all too eager - to see our civilization overrun and toppled by a flood of unskilled, semi-literate Third World economic migrants who take everything and contribute nothing to our society.

This news from Kristi Noem should delight everyone who's aware of the migrant threat to our stability and security as a society.  I hope she makes it even more stringent, and of course permanent, as her investigations show the extent of the problem.

(Note that I'm not saying we should not help those less fortunate than ourselves.  That's a basic Christian premise, after all, and I make sure that our family supports others when and where appropriate.  However, helping others does not mean destroying our own society in the process!  We can extend help to countries facing an influx of refugees from their neighbors, assisting with feeding, housing and caring for the refugees until such time that it's safe for them to return home.  If the situation in their homeland(s) does not resolve itself, we can join with other nations to impose a peaceful settlement on the country(ies) concerned, thus creating the conditions for future stability.  All this we can and should do.  It's incumbent upon us, I think, to share the blessings God has given us with those less fortunate than ourselves.  However, that can be done without destroying our own society's foundations, and placing our own countries at risk.  This may look like the irresistible force meeting the immovable object, but it's simpler than that.  Compassion need not equal national suicide.)
