A church in Highland Park, New Jersey, is in a tough spot after receiving millions of dollars in USAID relief funds to assist illegals.
Leaders with the Reformed Church of Highland Park told Shore News Network they laid off 195 workers after President Donald Trump’s administration stopped federal money from going to migrant resettlement programs, the website reported Sunday.
The outlet said it “confirmed layoffs through a WARN notice filed with the New Jersey Department of Labor.”
It continued:
The church, which had received $18 million in aid from USAID to place migrants in jobs across New Jersey, is now struggling to keep its programs running. Reverend Seth Kaper-Dale said his organization is owed more than $1.3 million for services rendered in January alone and warned that without immediate support, key programs could collapse.
“For the past 3.5 years, we have experienced that refugees and immigrants are a blessing,” Kaper-Dale said. “Since January 20th, everything has collapsed.”
According to the church’s website, it has had an “active immigration committee since 2002, when our members first started sharing their experiences of trouble with the U.S. Immigration System.”

A “church” has 195 employees????
I thought USAID was for foreign aid.
Sounds like this ‘church’ is running a racket.
I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Most churches are running a racket!
That wasn’t any church. That was a illegal alien factory.
Maybe they should ask their members to tithe more

The don’t pay taxes but they get $18 million in USAID money meant to be used to stop the little black kids in Africa from starving and dying?
Blessing is a euphemism for cash cow.
Kinda like manna from Big Bro.
so far it’s been Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, now reformed church.
Jesus knew what he was talking about when he gave the parable about the enemy tossing weed seeds into the wheat. Seems everyone has been infiltrated.
They ain’t gonna spend *their* money. They want to spend *our* money
They write the checks from our bank.
OH, I AM SURE OF THAT...many rackets due exposure
The lord works in mysterious ways.
If I were getting 18 million a year from the US government to fund illegal aliens I’d consider the a blessing too
Since January 20th, everything has collapsed.

Timber
The whole frickin temple of State and Church fleecing taxpayers and enabling an invasion is falling down..
A human smuggling operation funded by the Federal Govt. This is just one of many.
Lots of money for pretending to be decent people. Did the ‘church’ have drag queen shows for their Sunday School kids too?
