A year after President Obama launched his Task Force on New Americans the administration is injecting it with a $19 million infusion so it can achieve its key initiative of registering new voters that will likely support Democrats in the upcoming election. Officially, this is being described as enhancing pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, U.S. history and civics courses. The cash is being distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that oversees lawful immigration, and the obvious goal is to register more immigrant voters because they tend to be Democrat.
Otherwise a Democrat commander-in-chief and his open-borders Domestic Policy Director wouldn’t be operating such a costly project. Judicial Watch wrote about the new task force last April, reporting that its chair is none other than Cecilia Muñoz, the former vice president of the powerful open borders group National Council of La Raza (NCLR). Obama recruited Muñoz to be White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs then promoted her to the more powerful and prestigious post of Domestic Policy Director. That gives her tremendous influence as the president’s top adviser on domestic issues as well as the White House official in charge of coordinating and supervising the execution of domestic policy. As head of the Task Force on New Americans Muñoz recruited like-minded leaders from various agencies—including the departments of Homeland Security, Justice, State, Education, Transportation and Health—to brainstorm about ways to empower immigrants.
Executing this mission will cost American taxpayers a chunk of change to provide immigrants and refugees with free “citizenship preparation” programs the administration claims will “strengthen civic, economic and linguistic integration” and “build strong and welcoming communities.” The allocation was announced this month by USCIS, which has dedicated large sums over the years to similar causes. The money usually goes to various leftist groups that help lawful permanent residents prepare for naturalization. In fiscal year 2016, however, the agency is recruiting new groups by offering them a piece of the multi-million-dollar pie. “We intend to award about $1 million to first-time recipients in the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program for fiscal year 2016,” the agency’s grant announcement states. “If you represent one of these organizations, or know of an interested organization, we strongly encourage that organization to consider applying. Additionally, another $9 million will fund programs that provide both citizenship instruction and instruction and naturalization application services.”
The administration brags about spending millions in recent years to support the quality work of organizations that play a vital role in helping residents prepare for naturalization, but seems to acknowledge this year is special and therefore more money will be dedicated to the cause. Read between the lines; presidential election. The extra cash “will help nonprofits establish new citizenship instruction programs or expand the quality and reach of existing ones,” the agency writes. “Examples of eligible organizations include private, nonprofit organizations such as civic, community and faith-based organizations; adult education organizations; and volunteer and literacy organizations. A separate funding opportunity will award approximately $9 million to public or nonprofit organizations that prepare permanent residents for citizenship by offering both citizenship instruction and naturalization application services.”
This is only a small part of the new task force’s mission. Practically every federal agency will participate in this effort by contributing resources and creating programs to help immigrants. For example the Department of Labor (DOL) will implement “new workforce programs” for the “new Americans” and the Department of Education will promote “funding opportunities” to assure that the immigrants “are provided the tools they need to succeed.” The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will collaborate with other agencies to release a career and credentialing toolkit on “immigrant-focused career-pathways programs.” The Department of Justice (DOJ) and USCIS will make sure the new Americans have worker rights and protections, the task force says, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will launch a two-year pilot to assure that non English speakers have “meaningful access to housing programs” subsidized by American taxpayers.

OMG...Obama's going to do as much damage as he can in the short time he has left...
The triator is doing what he promised: transforming America.
You’re absolutely right, this Cecilia Munoz is a real piece of work and now embedded in the WH.
Imagine if Bush had done this for immigrants expected to be in republican demographics.
how is this possible. Voting is a right of the citizens.
How can a president allot money for ANYthing ! ! ! ???
Did Congress vote him a blank check some time ago and gave it to him with no oversight ?
America is finished.
Trump for President. Only chance we have.
Agreed...He won't be pulling this underhanded crud.
“...Let's see $13 million for M-13...
...$3 million for the Latin Kings...
...$2 million for Los Mojadoes Cobardes...”
Obama in his counting house.
Until even legal immigrants become citizens they should have no right to vote. Many legal immigrants/workers here are not on a path to citizenship and some come on the condition they will not establish roots here.
There are many reasons people that support open borders want to muddy the water between illegal and legal immigrants. I would bet money the plan with La Raza people involved will indeed end with allowing illegals to vote, some way some how. Their goal is for there to be no difference between citizens and illegals. That is what open borders means.
Still, people can’t get together and refuse to pay our taxes.
When the rubber hits the road, people are a-ok with how the govt wastes
our tax dollars.
If we starved the beast they couldn’t do this bullshit.
Yes! And this is why we need Trump, so acutely!

Even legal immigrants should have no right to vote unless and until they become citizens. Once they are citizens there is no need to spend all of this money to get them registered to vote. Putting La Raza people in charge of this means they are working to allow illegals to vote. No need for all of this otherwise.
Good question.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Illegal alien activists and I would bet the majority of Dems are all for letting everyone in the country vote, Everyone!
There are some they likely would like to keep from voting...but it is not illegals!

Al Sharpton has decided to take a stand, and refuse’s to pay his taxes..maybe we should follow his lead.
These are provisions of the Senate Gang of Eight’s “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act” bill, S. 744 (2013) https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/senate-bill/744/text
The Senate bill has not become law. Lacking lawful authority is not an obstacle to Obama’s agenda. They failed to achieve their agenda legislatively so they just go ahead and do it anyway.
SEC. 2106 - funds community organizations to help enroll illegal aliens
SEC. 2538 - funds state and local governments or “other qualifying entities” to establish “New Immigrant Councils”. New Immigrant Councils fund a laundry list of governmental agencies, organizations, schools, etc to provide “workforce training programs”, and to develop programs to “build meaningful connections between newer immigrants and long-time residents”, and other things.
SEC. 2521 - Task Force on New Americans, “The Task Force shall work with executive branch agencies to provide... (A) access to youth and adult education programming; (B) workforce training; (C) health care policy; (D) access to naturalization; and (E) community development challenges”
This is a coup against the native born American people - I think calling it a genocide is not too strong a sentiment.
