The Biden administration spent tens of billions of dollars on grants to migrants and refugees through one of its government agencies, including over $10 billion in just one year, according to a new watchdog report.
The watchdog group Open the Books looked at grants to nonprofits awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. Its responsibilities include caring for unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the southern border illegally and refugees entering legally.
The watchdog found that in FY 2021, it distributed $2.4 billion in grants to nonprofits. In FY 2022, it distributed $3.4 billion, then that number skyrocketed up to $10 billion in FY 2023 before being reduced to $4.2 billion in FY 2024.
The numbers surged amid a historic migrant crisis at the southern border which plagued the Biden administration between 2021 and 2024.
According to the watchdog, the money included spending to help migrants save for car and home purchases, while another gave out business and personal loans, along with other programs for legal aid and cultural orientation.
"We're hurting American taxpayers. People in places like North Carolina, Los Angeles that have lost everything," Open the Books CEO John Hart told Fox News. "How is it moral to ask them to pay the bill for someone who wants to come to this country illegally? That's outrageous."

Yes, other than friends and family no one has ever given me anything either. trump has deported approximately 17,500 illegal mexicans so far, according to Mexico but he would have to deport about 50-75 million of the illegals here and their kids. 18000 isn’t going to do anything. Trump said today Elon may find 1 trillion. That’s not going to make a difference. We are drowning in trillions every year. This has to pick up speed really quick. If Trump doesn’t do this, then the next President, — President Mbange is going to just drive us over a cliff. Get to hacking, and mass deporting
It is time to go Medieval on these people.
Heads on Pikes
When you end the federal gravy train funding illegals they will deport themselves—no headlines—no meaningful statistics to count.
We need to crush the NGOs that created the mess—and that will solve 90% of the problem.
We’ve done more than our share. We need a moratorium on even supposedly legit refugees for 20 years. (Other, I suppose, than for the white SA farmer exception already made.)
Yes, Hulk smash. Crush it all. The deep state is like a jellyfish— leave a few cells and it’s just going to come back. Mass deport. Freeze George Soros’ funds and outlaw him and his ngo’s. Hack the Departments. Trump is having a good start, things are definitely better than they were January 19th- but he’s got to pick up the pace. destroy- cut -deport
Gee, I wonder why Biden doesn’t get on TV and defend all the charges being levied against his administration?
He couldn't even hold a single actual unrehearsed press conference in 4 years, don't hold your breath.
That’s why I’ve said for many years, if you are able, cheat on your taxes. Big government is stealing from you anyway. In my line of work cheating is impossible.
As I told my Uber driver today, cash is king…all others are subjected to scrutiny and taxation.
I think the gravy train has a limit point, when certain levels have been accomplished, card$ will become invalid.
The raid at that Hyundai EV plant is warning to other companies to start phasing out their illegals.
The round up of the violent criminals has been slowed by leakers of raids and AOC types giving comfort aid and warnings. Incentives to voluntarily leave will increase.
Do this 10 billion dollars going to NGOs and “non-prophet-churches” (er, non-profits) include the US Council of Catholic Bishops or other US Catholic charities and enablers?
Catholic Charities has been running amok.
I would bet that a portion (10%) went to the big guy in Rome.
According to a watchdog, demented Biden spent tax dollars
<><>to help migrants save for cars and homes,
<><>another gave out business and personal loans,
<><>and still another paid for legal aid and “cultural orientation.”
Trump to sign EO banning all payments to illegal aliens. Est. $451 Billion.
I guess that level has been met.
“The raid at that Hyundai EV plant is warning to other companies to start phasing out their illegals”
Did it actually happen? No stories on this other than Social Media post.
Soros, and the "World Economic Forum" are truly trying to destroy our nation. They should be declared to be a terrorist organization and all those associated with it arrested and deported...but first, freeze all their assets and take all their money! :)
Every bill in our pocket says, "IN GOD WE TRUST." We should use a pen and write under that, "ALL OTHERS PAY CASH"... :)
I did find a couple of news articles supporting that “appearance” of ICE officials at the Hyundai plant.
There was concern that Hyundai’s reputation may suffer and legal consequences to follow.
