With regard to massive spending on “immigrants” and refugees, money is not an objective for federal officials and political appointees on the left and right. Taxpayer money, that is.
The latest on Uncle Sam's massive fraud business opens a book (OTB) on Substack. The Refugee Resettlement Office (OSS), a subsidiary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has spent more than $20 billion to help “immigrants” buy cars and homes. Some people got cold and hard cash.
In other words, real Americans struggle to pay for disasters like Hurricane Helen and the Los Angeles wildfires, while penniless third world vagrants laugh all the way to the banks.
Taxpayers shafted
The HHS Department of Children and Families Management (ACF) department has dumped $22.6 billion over the past four years. OTB reported.
So the office spent billions on obsessing with “immigrants” who could face deportation.
The program focused on, but not limited to, “unaccompanied minors,” continued OTB.
One ORR program helped participants save on car and home purchases, while another offered business and personal loans to help build credits. Another program supported “legal support,” “cultural orientation,” and “emergency housing assistance.”
These served as giant magnets for those seeking to claim exile across borders.
And in justifying Congress's 2023 budget, the useless institution wanted “changes to expand its duties.” OTB reported that these changes include:
• “Special immigrant juvenile minors” within the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) program access to Medicaid and the same benefits as refugees including the same foster care services as American children. insist on.
• Expand legal support for Ukrainians and Afghan children and other URM-designated youth to legal support to ensure permanent residency.
• Provide cash assistance to full-time university or vocational school student refugees.
• Eliminate the need for refugees to obtain economic self-sufficiency “as soon as possible.”
The amount of the broken amount is approximately granted between 2020 and 2024.
2020: $2.7 billion2021: $2.35 billion2022: $3.4 billion2023: $10 billion2024: $4.2 billion
Conflict of interest?
In 2023, the New York Times reported that 85,000 unaccompanied minors had gone missing. The director of ORR at the time was Robin Dan Marcos, the extreme left, who didn't confirm whether it was true or not.
The relationship between this fact and major fraud is unknown. But this is not the reported OTB:
In particular, two of the top ORR grantees were also former employers of Dunn Marcos: The International Rescue Committee (IRC). Dunn Marcos spent 23 years including eight senior directors of resettlement, asylum and integration. And the world service she spent four years at the church.
Naturally, the OTB asked the ACF if Dan Marcos rejected himself from his involvement in those grants. Why, of course, she did! “Consistent with the ethics pledge, Robin Dan Marcos is refused to participate in certain issues involving the specific parties that the IRC is or represent,” ACF tells the book Open. He spoke.
If Dan Marcos rejected himself, it certainly didn't hurt the IRC. Over four years, he skinned taxpayers for $598 million. In 2023 and 2024, almost $337 million filled the funds.
Far-Left Church World Service has been noseing Trough for $355 million since 2020.
They continued:
In 2023, the IRC first received funding from ORR's unaccompanied children's program: $13,005,424 for “home study and post-release services.”
But even before that, nonprofits worked in some capacity with unaccompanied children.
According to one article (,), “IRC Los Angeles… (provided) support in registering schools, obtaining state health insurance, and obtaining free legal services from local partner organizations.”
The IRC has benefited beautifully as spending on ORR has surged to new heights. The organization received more than $235 million in expenditure in 2023 compared to $22 million in 2023.
To find out if Dan Marcos really rejected herself, in May 2023, OTB filed an Email Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request between her and the IRC. “We haven't received a response yet.”
Of course, they haven't. ACF, the parent of Orr, says the median latency for FOIA requests is 1,065 days. When OTB asked the agency why they couldn't meet the simple request, they “received no response.”
New Acting Director
When OTB went to Marcela Ruiz, the “Principal Deputy Director” of ORR, she told the group to speak to the agency spokesman.
“While we can learn little about Ruiz from the ACF and ORR websites, her attitude towards her work can be approximated by her background,” OTB explained. Before landing at ORR, she was the principal of the California Department of Human Services Fair Office. “In one of her 2021 presentations, she advocated “Implicit Bias Training,” “Racing Equity Working Group,” and “Listening Sessions and Affinity Groups,” in her department, “Listening Sessions and Affinity Groups.” “We're doing that,” OTB reported.
Lewis' replacement is Melissa Harper, immigration and customs enforcement. This suggests that government agencies will no longer shower millions of people to the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on the far left.
“Dan Marcos may have disappeared from the ORR, but we still have doubts about whether certain nonprofits received special treatment within the grants provided by the government.” OTB pointed out. “What's clear is that ORR funded border states and NGO constellations deployed throughout the country.
$80 million “closeback”
This week brought some good news for taxpayers on “immigration” scams.
Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noem announced Wednesday that he has “returned” $80 million in federal funds from New York City from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
“FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel, which serves as a business base for Tren de Aragua.
Mark my words: I will not use a penny that is against the interest and safety of the American people.
Tren de Aragua (TDA) is a Venezuelan illegal Arien murder gang that the Biden administration helped establish businesses across the country.
TDA member Jose Ibarra flew to Georgia, where he murdered Riley on a taxpayer's dime.
