The Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIaRS) (along with eight other agencies) is a non-government voluntary agency (VOLAG) gorging itself 96% at the taxpayer-funded feeding trough. From LIaRS's latest available Form 990, LIaRS President and CEO Linda Hartke made an annual salary of $274,632 and an additional $33,401 from other compensation.

What LiARS and other VOLAGS do (besides lobbying for even more of your money from Demonicrat politicians) is to settle inadequately-screened Muslim immigrants in unsuspecting communities, unprepare to handle the cultural, health, and crime problems brought by the immigrants. (But, once the immigrants are settled, that's the communities problem!)

If you wonder why there are so many Somalis in Minneapolis, you can thank LIaRS, along with Catholic Charities and World Relief Minnesota.

“The National Council of La Raza, a liberal Hispanic activist group recently renamed Unidos US, spent significantly more on lobbying — $1.3 million between 2013 and 2015 — than any other group analyzed by TheDCNF.”
