Among the many burdens that skyrocketing illegal immigration forces upon American taxpayers is the exorbitant cost of rolling out the welcome mat to accommodate, transport and provide migrants with a multitude of services upon their arrival in the United States.
A Health and Human Services division known as Office of Refugee Resettlement does most of the spending, which is considered "Refugee and entrant assistance." In 2022 the agency dedicated $8.925 billion to the cause and in 2023 the cost soared to $10.928 billion.
Services provided to illegal immigrants include transitional and medical care, refugee support, programs for survivors of torture, emergency supplemental assistance and millions of dollars for minors, which are classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children.
Incredibly, the federal agency wants more money from Congress to expand services to a broader range of applicants despite record spending.
This includes the same Medicaid and foster care services that American children get for illegal immigrant minors, legal assistance to Ukrainian and Afghan children to ensure permanent residency, cash assistance to full-time college or technical school students for refugees and removing the requirement that refugees obtain economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible.
The report discloses that for decades ORR's deputy assistant secretary for humanitarian services, Robin Dunn Marcos, was employed in executive positions by two nonprofits that received the largest grants for refugee and entrant assistance.
Both groups have been among the biggest recipients of refugee and entrant assistance grants over the years, the report reveals.
