Journalist James O’Keefe recently posted a video exposé about an Arizona facility that transports illegal immigrants to the Phoenix airport, where they are then sent to different cities throughout the nation – with funding from American taxpayers.
In video footage posted on X, O’Keefe visits the site, a repurposed former school building that has been turned into a migrant camp, where workers treat him with great suspicion and secrecy, slamming gates in his face as he tries to report on how buses leave the facility every hour, on the hour, for the airport. A man who refused to give his name but was later identified as Jesus Moreno repeatedly asks him to leave, at one point even offering to pay him money to go away.
Another man working at the facility, Tomas Robles, called O’Keefe a “domestic terrorist” and called the sheriff’s office on him.
During O’Keefe’s visit, an American Red Cross worker who was present told him that he is unable to talk to the press but did admit that the shelter was run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
The IRC is a globalist non-government organization (NGO) run by former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. It boasts a huge operating budget; in 2021, it exceeded $1 billion. That year, records show it received more than $400 million in American taxpayers’ money via government grants, including $178 million from the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration; $123 million from the Department of Health and Human Services; and $114 million from the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
They also received funds from the private sector, Catholic charities, and even the European Union.
The secretive network of nonprofits and NGOs that help illegal immigrants make their way through the country only make it even more complicated to determine just how much the country’s border crisis is actually costing taxpayers.
In May, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability launched a probe into the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program following reports that they were providing taxpayer funds to NGOs that incentivize illegal immigration.
A press release announcing the investigation stated: “Based on recent reporting, EFSP funds are possibly being used by certain NGOs to offset expenses incurred abroad in efforts to facilitate and incentivize illegal immigration to the United States. If true, this is a gross misuse of federal taxpayer dollars.”
It also explained how the American Red Cross has been contributing to illegal immigration instead of alleviating it by making migrants’ journeys easier to the country’s southwest border.
NGOs regularly facilitate illegal immigration into the U.S.
Other NGOs have also been implicated in fueling illegal immigration into the U.S. For example, Doctors Without Borders has been providing maps and blueprints to caravans of illegals making their way from South and Central America across the border into the U.S.
Meanwhile, the United Nations International Organization of Migration provides them with lists of the various commissions and consulates throughout Mexico that can help them as they make their journey. Maps distributed by the Red Cross provide illegals with advice on making their way across the mass migration trail, including tips on how to safely ride freight trains.
Many of these NGOs are receiving taxpayer money, which means Americans are essentially paying for this influx of illegals who clearly do not care about following the law of the land and will almost certainly end up becoming Democrat voters.
In O’Keefe’s video, he asked an illegal immigrant named Felipe if he plans to vote in the U.S. presidential elections and who would get his vote.
“Biden,” Felipe responds, “because he’s given us an opportunity.”
