Local Catholic Charities resettlement program to close after 14 years

The Central and Northern Missouri chapter of Catholic Charities will end its resettlement program March 31.

In an email to supporters, Executive Director Litz Main said the nonprofit had to end the program due to the lack of federal funding.

…. Although the executive order was blocked by a federal judge in February, local resettlement programs still face a lack of federal funds. There is no indication when the program will resume, and the case is expected to face an appeal from the Trump administration.

Despite legal setbacks, the spigots are still running dry.

I can’t stop laughing. 🤣

It obviously was not a charity, it was government funded and for profit from our taxes. Which makes the Catholic Church out to be lying.

Too bad.

Translation, No more money for illegals.

Thank you, PDJT.

Wow. Disgusting revelation.

Exactly. Just like the "NGOs" were actually GOs masquerading under a touchy feely humanitarian sounding name.

Catholic "Charities" had a booming business importing illegal aliens, moving them to communities all over the US and all on the taxpayer's back (USAID).

Good! As a resident of northern Missouri, I can tell you that since January there’s been a very noticeable decrease in “migrants” in our community. Our local Wal Mart used to be filled with Hispanic families, but now I rarely see any. It feels like America again!

When an NGO goes out of business because government funding was cut off it was never non-government and it was never a charity. It was a false front for the state.

When the vast majority of your funds come from the government, you are not an NGO.

Do you think that these “migrants“ are self deporting, dispersing to friendlier states or hiding?

[Just mythoughts]

Bunch of ‘sheep traffickers’.. lying bunch of frauds ... charity ... den of thieves .. As Jesus called the temple workers... Nothing ‘new’ under the sun... and you can BET your bottom $$$$$ the Heavenly Father keeps track of the fakes ...

[Freee-dame]

I think the worst was these “NGO‘s” teaching these invaders how to be dishonest in requesting asylum.

[b4me]

God is likely pleased these people will stop trafficking people around, and wrongly using taxpayers money for their personal gain/paychecks etc.

[GOPJ]

Government funded, George Soros funded, whatever ... all the evil ones propped it up.
