The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramped up grants for migrants from 2020 to 2024 — which included cash assistance to buy cars, homes and even build credit for startup businesses, according to a shocking watchdog report that found taxpayers were left on the hook for $22.6 billion.
HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) — which came under fire last year for having lost track of 32,000 migrant kids in the US — handed out the high sum to a host of nonprofits, effectively acting as a “giant magnet” for those crossing the US border and claiming asylum, auditors from the money monitor OpenTheBooks revealed exclusively to The Post.
Tasked with settling migrants, asylum seekers and other refugees in America, ORR drastically increased the number of noncitizens eligible to receive funding over the bulk of President Joe Biden’s term, with more than $10 billion shelled out to grant-receiving organizations just in fiscal year 2023.
That coincided with all-time records being set for southern border crossings into the US, with 2.4 million apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection over the same period.
Non-governmental groups bilked taxpayers for up to $1.7 billion in services including dollar-for-dollar matching savings plans for cars, homes, college educations or startups; small-business loans of up to $15,000; loans to repair credit history of up to $1,500; “cultural orientation,” “emergency housing support,” legal assistance and Medicaid care.
Some programs were only available to migrants or refugees who had been living in the US for several years, who were employed or who were making around double the federal poverty level or less, among other stipulations.

The rot runs deep.
And the hits keep on coming. This is like, not to be morbid, someone dying in your family that never had any money and then finally getting access to all of the financials and your mind being blown on how much money was spent.

This is now under RFK Jr’s purview.
NUKE THE PATENTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL $1 TRILLION HHS!!!!
OMG. We need to make sure all Americans are made aware of this.
Wow.
This is sickening!
NAMES I ,HE NAMES OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT OK’S ALL THIS.
I’m hoping that RFK can help with this.
Stopping this insanity isn’t enough.
This flagrant mis-use of taxpayer money is unconstitutional, unethical and dishonest.
And the responsible authorities know what they did is illegal.
I want to see everyone involved in this criminal activity prosecuted and thrown into the Washington GULAG the way the left incarcerated the Jan-6 demonstrators.
I don’t think RFK is in the business of shutting down the gov’t no matter how illegal the gov’t might be.
Few are. Musk. Maybe Vivek. Those are the guys who should lead the effort to greatly reduce the feds’ size to only those agencies and acts authorized by the Constitution.
Make Our Gov’t Again Constitutional. (MOGAC?)
Fill Gitmo with every single person that had any slightest hand in this corruption...
There should be at least 5-10 thousand miscreants involved...
I remember one of those huge bills republicans helped pass had “resettlement” in it.
I think we are about to go after the tax haven banks around the world to recover most of the absconded money from the US Treasury. We might find enough to erase the US budget deficit maybe twice over!
Where is my USAID?
OH! I pay into it. Sucker!
The Biden Administration: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramped up grants for ILLEGAL ALIENS from 2020 to 2024
Even more of a reason to use civil asset forfeiture provisions to claw back the American Taxpayer’s stolen money. Fund the deportation process with the proceeds.
This shit is out of control.
This is actually a good idea. You need the sic the FBI on to them.
This is criminal
