WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO "HUMANITARIAN" US FOREIGN AID?

Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder foreign aid millions;
Thieving Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS

<><>Obama’s ICE Director Sara Saldana threatens Congress
announces "No Immigration Enforcement Until Amnesty Is Passed"

<><> USCIS Leon Rodriguez's rubber-stamping criminals into the US and his expediting EB-5 visas.

===========================================

Obama's hand-picked henchman, Leon Rodriguez United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is rubber-stamping felons and diseased illegals into the country.

Rodriguez also oversees the infamous EB-5 visa program. Under Obama/Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:

NEED TO KNOW----ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES/SALDANA SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO:

<><> (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS,

<><>(b) ISIS TERRORISTS,

<><> (c) FOREIGNERS SEEKING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT.

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a Third World pressure group pushing for unlimited immigration on behalf of foreign governments. Rodrigues also has connections to foreign pressure groups across the nation.

==================================================

REFERENCE Circa 2012, Sen Charles Grassley (Repub-Iowa) exposed the DHS-USCIS visa program--Sen Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

Yep. And this is pretty much the rule, not the exception. The wall can easily be build by cutting down these payments or eliminating them entirely. Samaritan's Purse, World Vision, Heifer International and a host of other private charitable organizations can distribute relief directly to the poor because they have trustworthy boots on the ground.

Our government does not.
