Report: Biden-Harris Administration funnels tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to support illegal aliens
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement released an interim staff report titled, "Chauffeur at the Border, Concierge in the Interior: How the Biden Administration Rewards Illegal Aliens on the Taxpayers' Dime."
This report highlights how the Biden-Harris Administration has funneled tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars to services supporting illegal aliens, often through left-wing nonprofit organizations, at the expense of border security and public safety.
Key findings from the report include the massive expansion of Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs by the Biden-Harris Administration. Taxpayer-funded programs like the Young Adult Case Management Program (YACMP) and the Case Management Pilot Program (CMPP) provide a wide range of taxpayer-funded services to illegal aliens, including legal orientation, social services referrals, mental health support, and services to assist illegal aliens in returning to their home countries after being removed from the United States.
Claire Trickler-McNulty, the former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of Immigration Program Evaluation (OIPE), which helped develop ATD programs, admitted that ICE lacks sufficient data to accurately judge the overall effectiveness of ATD.
Another senior ICE official testified that the agency diverted resources from arresting threats to public safety and national security to assist with the chaos at the southwest border and facilitate illegal alien releases into the country.
The report also reveals instances where ICE contractors referred illegal aliens to receive services from groups like Planned Parenthood, an organization that advocates for transgender surgeries for children, and another biased group that has compared Republican governors to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
