I know it’s not popular here but it’s time for these so called churches to start paying their “fair share” of taxes, IMHO. If you want to run with the big dogs, you’re going to have to pay.
What WHORES!
Them supporting the desires of the muslim CIC in his endeavors to import and spread more islam? I don’t want to believe this, however there are idiots abound. Lots in the church.
The illiterates should be the first to know that everything islam is about is antithetical to the Christian faith.
Islam is the anti-Christ personified!
Each piece of silver was $2,633,333...
My church hides and protects child molesters. And now this BS. Outrageous.
How much of your tax dollars are the federal refugee resettlement contractors receiving?
Posted by Ann Corcoran on January 16, 2015
These are the nine major contractors the US State Department and the Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHS) fund. They call them Voluntary Agencies (VOLAGs) which is such a joke considering the large amount of federal funding that flows to each one! There are approximately 350 subcontractors in 180 cities working under the nine biggies.
We did not include the two new contractors primarily responsible for the ‘unaccompanied minors.’
Church World Service
(From 2012 Form 990)
Total revenue: $76,185,774
Govt. grants and contracts: $45,431,781
Percent taxpayer funded: 60%
Top salary: $286,000 (Top salaries throughout include benefits and income from related activities)
Ethiopian Community Development Council (secular)
(From 2012 Form 990)
Total revenue: $15,244,802
Govt. grants: $14,609,687
Percent taxpayer funded: 96%
Top salary: $233,228
Episcopal Migration Ministries
This gets tricky. Apparently EMM (or now known as Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America), does not produce a Form 990 (no response from them to a recent inquiry was received) nor do they publish their federal income in their annual report.
The only accounting we could find is an independent auditor’s report that reveals they received $17,365,325 from the federal government for their refugee program in 2012.
Further examination by a qualified accountant would be needed to find out how they spent the $17 million.
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
(From 2012 Form 990 for HIAS, Inc. Can’t be found at Guidestar under its full name only as HIAS,Inc, just one of those things that makes tracking these VOLAGs very difficult. LOL! we have learned that they have dropped the “Hebrew†from their name.)
Total revenue: $25,418,714
Govt. grants and contracts (including travel loan income): $15,426,116
Percent taxpayer funded: 61%
Top salary: $323,162
International Rescue Committee (secular)
(From 2012 Form 990)
Total revenue: $456,122,865

Percent taxpayer funded: 73%
Top salary: $485,321
US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (secular)
(From 2012 Form 990)
Total revenue: $39,205,548
Govt. grants and contracts: $38,817,939

Top salary: $289,192
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service

US Conference of Catholic Bishops
Last, but by far not least, is the US Catholic Bishops whose finances now require further explanation. The USCCB, by the way, resettles the largest number of refugees in the US with the help of Catholic Charities located throughout America. They make no effort to single out Christians for resettlement and in fact, in 2013 they were requesting that the US State Department bring more Rohingya Muslims from Burma (Myanmar) to America.
Up until recently we could access their annual reports to determine their direct income from the federal taxpayer (for their migration program), however, it appears that since RRW and others began publishing the information, we are no longer able to access those reports.
To our knowledge, no Form 990 is filed. Churches are not required to file 990s, so perhaps the Bishops consider themselves a church.
Also, since federal funds go directly to myriad Catholic Charities around the country especially to states such as Tennessee where Catholic Charities and the federal government have complete control of who comes and where they are placed with virtually no state input (called the Wilson-Fish program), it would require very knowledgeable forensic accountants to follow the money.
Here is the information we previously obtained from the USCCB’s 2012 Annual Report (it is a good thing we captured it at the time!).
Total revenue: $70,975,237
Govt. grants and contracts (includes over $3 million in travel loan income): $69,534,230
Percent taxpayer funded: 98%
We have no idea what salaries are paid in the USCCB Washington office.
A billion dollars a year!
That is how much we are spending (that we know of!) for refugee resettlement, here. That figure does not include subsidized housing, most healthcare, food stamps, other cash assistance, educating the kids or the costs to the criminal justice system!
Now I understand the buddying up of the Pope and the Muslim.
You know the Muslim has no use for the Pope except as a useful idiot.
but the actual source is
May they rot in He**.
Congress signed the check on this.
I want to know WHO!
I bet Pelosi, Reid and Bonehead set it up
