HHS splurged more than $22B on grants for migrants — including cash for cars, home loans and startups

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ramped up grants for migrants from 2020 to 2024 — which included cash assistance to buy cars, homes and even build credit for startup businesses, according to a shocking watchdog report that found taxpayers were left on the hook for $22.6 billion.

HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) — which came under fire last year for having lost track of 32,000 migrant kids in the US — handed out the high sum to a host of nonprofits, effectively acting as a “giant magnet” for those crossing the US border and claiming asylum, auditors from the money monitor OpenTheBooks revealed exclusively to The Post.

Tasked with settling migrants, asylum seekers and other refugees in America, ORR drastically increased the number of noncitizens eligible to receive funding over the bulk of President Joe Biden’s term, with more than $10 billion shelled out to grant-receiving organizations just in fiscal year 2023.

That coincided with all-time records being set for southern border crossings into the US, with 2.4 million apprehensions by Customs and Border Protection over the same period.

Non-governmental groups bilked taxpayers for up to $1.7 billion in services including dollar-for-dollar matching savings plans for cars, homes, college educations or startups; small-business loans of up to $15,000; loans to repair credit history of up to $1,500; “cultural orientation,” “emergency housing support,” legal assistance and Medicaid care.

Some programs were only available to migrants or refugees who had been living in the US for several years, who were employed or who were making around double the federal poverty level or less, among other stipulations.

Homeland Security corrects data error — international student enrollment rose, not declined

International student enrollment increased last year, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — contrary to data the agency previously posted, which showed a decline.

A new analysis by Chris Glass, a professor at Boston College, found that student and exchange visitor information system data issued by DHS underreported the number of international students by more than 200,000 — an error that the agency corrected this month. Glass flagged the change on July 7.

The numbers from SEVIS, a division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, show overseas enrollments totaled 1,294,231 in September, compared to the earlier-reported, erroneous figure of 1,091,182. SEVIS data tracks college students as well students in public and private high schools, language training, flight schools and vocational schools, among other programs.

The corrected data shows year-over-year growth of 6.5%, according to Glass. This is largely in line with Open Doors data, released by the U.S. Department of State and the Institute of International Education, which also found that the U.S. hosted a record number of students from abroad in the 2023-24 academic year. 

The revised numbers show “robust growth,” Glass told CNBC. “It’s critical data at a moment when people are paying close attention to the number of international students in the U.S.”

SEVIS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Foreign Citizens Should Never Be Allowed To Serve In American Government

t does not matter if individuals become naturalized citizens of the United States, so long as they retain the citizenship from wherever they came, they should not be allowed to serve in the American government.

Either they renounce their foreign citizenship, or stop serving in our government. And, it is more preferable that they self-deport if they feel strongly about keeping the other citizenship.

As founder John Jay expressed in 1787, “Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government.”

Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali and Sparkle Leah Sooknanan, two far-left appointees of former President Joe Biden, are perfect examples. Both are federal judges, both issue judicial decrees well outside what is in America’s best interests, and both are still citizens of foreign countries.

Sooknanan is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, while Ali is a citizen of Canada.

As is the problem with anyone retaining their citizenship in another country and then attempting to serve in another, it is unclear where their loyalties lie. For Ali and Sooknanan, whether in service to their home countries or not, it is quite clear they couldn’t care less about the United States.

In Sooknanan’s latest un-American activity, she blocked a flight of hundreds of trafficked Guatemalan children who were being sent back home to their families from leaving the United States.

The Guatemalan government already agreed to take them back, and as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said, “These smuggled migrant children were orphaned in America by the Biden Administration. The minors have all self-reported that their parents are back home in Guatemala. But a Democrat judge is refusing to let them reunify with their parents.”

“The government of Guatemala has formally requested their return,” Miller added. “And there are tens of thousands more smuggled minors orphaned in America by the Biden Administration that Democrats are refusing to allow back home with their families.”

Far from Sooknanan’s only attack on the interests of America and Americans, prior to being appointed by Biden (or, an autopen), she helped orchestrate the Department of Justice memo from Merrick Garland calling parents concerned about their children’s schooling “domestic terrorists.”

Top German Judge Says Overzealous ECHR ‘Endangers The Existence Of Western Democracies’

Hans-Jürgen Papier, Germany’s former chief justice and one of the country’s most senior legal scholars, has warned that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is undermining national sovereignty by creating what he called a “de facto right to immigration through the back door.”

The 82-year-old Ludwig Maximilian University professor, who led Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court at the start of Angela Merkel’s chancellorship, told The Times newspaper that a growing body of asylum case law from national courts and the ECHR in Strasbourg had created an “ever deeper reaching and ever more closely meshed agglomeration” of rulings. These, he said, were now “settling like mildew over the states’ political power to take action.”

In his view, the result has been a dramatic broadening of the right to asylum, far beyond what was originally intended under the Geneva Convention.

“The citizens expect those with political responsibility to revise the asylum policies to suit the changed circumstances. But that is in danger of failing because of the ossification of a body of law that is getting increasingly rarefied and ultimately looks irreversible to many politicians,” he said.

Papier criticized the way European courts have interpreted Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR — the rights against inhuman treatment and to family life — to block deportations, including cases where asylum seekers could face homelessness or irregular work in other EU states.

“That simply goes too far,” he argued.

“Here, human dignity is being treated like small change and thereby robbed of its special dignified status.”

The former judge warned that the overzealous application of human rights laws by the ECHR was “generally destroying the European citizen’s trust in the capacity of their democratic institutions to act, and so at the end of the day endangering the existence of Western democracies.”

Massive Commercial Driver’s License Fraud in Jacksonville

The massive commercial driver’s license (CDL) fraud in Jacksonville has been uncovered following an investigation that revealed how individuals without English proficiency obtained these licenses using hidden devices and external accomplices. The operation, described as “organized fraud” by the Florida Highway Patrol, has raised concerns about road safety and the integrity of DMV exams.

Five people were arrested in Jacksonville, including Vladislav Juraschik, who was convicted of two felonies and sentenced to eight months in prison. They used devices such as hidden phones and earpieces to receive answers during the exams, allowing individuals without adequate knowledge to obtain commercial licenses. This practice has been linked to fatal accidents, including a case where a driver, after a deadly crash, demonstrated that he could not understand traffic signs or answer basic questions in English.

Additionally, in Bay County, two employees of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) were arrested for issuing fraudulent licenses to undocumented immigrants in exchange for bribes. The investigation, which spanned at least two years, also involved intermediaries such as the company CubaMax, which specializes in immigration procedures. Authorities confiscated $120,000 in cash during the arrests.

This scandal has exposed vulnerabilities in the commercial license issuance system and has prompted calls for comprehensive reform to ensure road safety and maintain public trust in the institutions responsible for highway security.

Dark side of Indian immigration: NE hotel ‘sex trafficking’ story is worse than you thought…

As many of you know, the DOJ and FBI recently busted an Indian immigration sex-trafficking ring. This wasn’t just a small operation; it was an empire built on child trafficking, drug dealing, and visa fraud, among many other crimes. It was all happening in Nebraska, inside several filthy hotels owned by Indian immigrants, some of whom were in the country on nothing more than visitor visas.

But what you don’t know is how bad it really was and how long this had been going on.

Kash Patel:

The FBI has busted an alleged human trafficking ring with 10 children, some under 12, and 17 adults.

The individuals were rescued from filthy Nebraska hotels where they were allegedly trafficked for sex and forced labor.

Your FBI will never stop fighting for victims and delivering justice and we will hunt predators to the ends of the earth.

The hotel was wired for filming, and the Indian immigrants running the operation would sit around watching the private x-rated footage like it was their own twisted daytime soap opera.

Court records reveal the true horror that was happening right under everyone’s noses in the Midwest, carried out by people we welcomed into our country.

Headline USA:

Earlier this month, the Justice Department announced a slew of charges against four Indian nationals for running a human trafficking ring out of several Nebraska hotels.

Court records reveal shocking details about the allegations against Ketankumar Chaudhari, Rashmi Ajit Samani, Amit Chaudhari, Amit Chaudhary, and Maheshkuma Chaudhari. Along with pimping out children, they also allegedly sold drugs, trafficked in stolen goods, harbored fugitives, and committed widespread visa fraud over the last five years out of those hotels, which were wired with hidden cameras.
However, law enforcement’s initial investigation of this crime syndicate had nothing to do with violent crime.

Rather, it began as a probe into an Indian call center. According to charging papers, Indian scammers posing as Federal Trade Commission employees would call victims and bilk them for cash under the pretense of a federal investigation. As it turned out, many of those scammers lived in hotels owned by the leader of the conspiracy, Ketankumar, who first entered the country in 2008 as a visitor on a B1/B2 visa.

Leftist Lawfare Shark Marc Elias Sues To Help Noncitizens Vote

Russia collusion hoax peddler Marc Elias and his leftist lawfare group are pushing another federal lawsuit aimed at stripping election integrity protections that prevent noncitizens from voting. 

The Elias Law Group’s complaint, filed on behalf of liberal “voter rights” organizations, claims the state’s new law requiring documented proof of U.S. citizenship before individuals may register to vote at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles “threatens to disenfranchise thousands of eligible citizens.” The law does no such thing, and the lawsuit — filled with the Elias Law Group’s usual hyperbolic spin — may well suffer the same fate as a similar election law complaint the law firm filed in Wyoming. 

Red Wine & Blue and the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans argue that the law, included in the legislature’s transportation funding bill, violates the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the U.S. Constitution.

“HB 54’s new proof-of-citizenship requirement imposes unnecessary obligations to register to vote in violation of the NVRA,” the lawsuit asserts. “HB 54 violates the U.S. Constitution because it is impermissibly vague, giving no guidance as to what constitutes sufficient proof of United States citizenship.”

It’s more of the same from Elias and “dark money” leftist groups attacking election-integrity measures in the name of “voter rights.”

“Both federal law and the Ohio Constitution prohibit noncitizens from voting. But now dark money groups represented by D.C. operatives are challenging a law that prevents noncitizens from registering to vote at the BMV,” Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said in a statement in response to the lawsuit.

“We will win this case – just like we’ve fought off the other baseless actions that such groups have brought against us,” LaRose added. 

The secretary of state is right to feel confident.

Scottish Girl Arrested For Using Knife And Axe To Ward Off Migrant Stalker

The systematic and engineered destruction of Europe through “multicultural” invasion is heartbreaking to watch.  It is clear, beyond any doubt, that this program spearheaded by progressive politicians (and fake conservative politicians) is designed to crush the spirits of predominantly white, native born citizens still retaining a sense of national pride and cultural heritage.  That is to say, they have become the targets of a government funded terror campaign to subjugate the west.

Starting around 2014, millions of third world migrants have been allowed to flood into Europe’s borders, often encouraged by globalist NGOs, the UN and leftist political leaders within the host countries.  The effects of this decade long campaign have been devastating. 

Violent crime has skyrocketed and migrant “grooming gangs” have spread, targeting underage girls for sexual exploitation.  Rape has become a common problem, which local governments have chosen to ignore.

Just this week an American man visiting Dresden, Germany was stabbed in the face while bravely preventing two migrants from assaulting a pair of women on a tram.  One of the man’s attackers, a Syrian refugee, was arrested by police and then immediately released by prosecutors back onto the streets.

And so the story is repeated, over and over again.  European elites invite third world migrants, largely military age men, into their borders in the name of progressive multiculturalism.  The migrants then attack the native population because their culture tells them Europeans are cattle to be farmed.  Whenever a European dares to speak up or defend themselves, they are slapped down by officials or arrested.  The population slowly becomes apathetic, passive and easier to control because they have no recourse but silence.

At bottom, the migrants are merely an ugly symptom of a bigger disease; the source of the problem is the political oligarchy that is facilitating the multicultural agenda.

Yet another example occurred in Scotland this week with the arrest of a 14-year-old girl who went viral on social media after defending another girl from a migrant man stalking them on video.  The teen can be seen pulling out a kitchen knife and a hatchet and screaming at the man to leave them alone. 

She warns the migrant man “Don’t touch my sister, she’s fucking 12…”

Walmart Tech VP took $30K daily kickbacks to boot Americans and hire H-1B workers…

The H-1B visa system is a scam, plain and simple. What started decades ago as a “temporary work program” to fill supposed gaps in specialized fields has turned into a full-blown racket that sells out American workers and ships our middle class right out the window. And US corporations are gaming the system, replacing qualified Americans with cheaper foreign labor, all while patting themselves on the back for being “innovative” and “diverse.”

This program is so rotten from the inside out, it can’t be fixed with a tweak here or a reform there. It’s corrupted to the core, and at this point, the only real solution might be to scrap the entire thing and start over with a true America First reset that puts American workers first, not multinational profits.

And Charlie Kirk agrees.

And speaking of H-1B scandals, there’s a huge one brewing inside of Walmart.

A very high-ranking Walmart executive was allegedly tossing American tech workers aside while pocketing massive bribes to bring in Indian H-1B workers from shady “visa mills.” And once again, the globalist lie about “filling jobs Americans won’t do” is blown to pieces.

This scandal was never about talent shortages or innovation. It was about greed, lining pockets, cutting costs, and selling out the American workers who built Walmart into what it is today.

HUGE HIRING SCAM EXPOSED!… Job Search Sites Caught Hiding High-Paying Jobs from Skilled American Workers in Order to Hire Foreigners! – But They Got Caught!

Internet sleuths have uncovered a likely illegal scheme where U.S. companies and job search sites are systematically hiding lucrative job openings from qualified, skilled American workers, all to funnel those jobs directly to foreign workers through H-1B and green card Permanent Labor Certification “PERM” loopholes.

The scheme is as dirty as it gets: corporations bury ads in obscure corners of the internet or tiny Sunday print listings, while deliberately keeping those same jobs off their main career sites where real Americans are actually looking.

Why? So they can claim to have “advertised” positions to U.S. citizens while quietly handing them to foreign applicants.

This was discovered by a grassroots group, and that’s why the group of investigators has launched Jobs.Now: Exposing hidden jobs for Americans, a new job board exposing these hidden skilled jobs and PERM jobs, and putting them back in the hands of American workers.

So what is a “Permanent Labor Certification (PERM)” worker?

According to the Department of Labor:

A permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. In most instances, before the U.S. employer can submit an immigration petition to the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the employer must obtain a certified labor certification application from the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified, and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

According to their X account, “The mission of Jobs.Now is to get Americans access to quality jobs in their own country. We think American workers are the greatest workers in the world, and we exist to make sure they get the chance to be considered for every job first!” the group wrote.
