BIDEN CORRUPTION RUNS DEEP INTO DHS BUREAUCRACY: Back in 1995, the early days of the Gingrich Revolution when Republicans took the House majority for the first time in more than 40 years, talk of “defunding the Left” was widespread. And then it wasn’t. And the Left’s legions of non-profit activist groups have received hundreds of billions of tax dollars in the decades since.
Had Republicans not lost their nerve on defunding the Left in 1995, Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon would not be reporting today that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has completely lost track of nearly 100,000 migrant children brought illegally into this country since 2021, all the while doubling the government’s spending on migrant care contracts going to left-wing non-profits:
“The massive increase in grants is attributed primarily to more than $5 billion in no-bid contracts doled out to three companies, a practice Democrats such as Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D.) and Vice President Kamala Harris decried during the Trump administration. Among the companies that benefited from the Biden administration’s largesse: the San Antonio-based nonprofit Family Endeavors, which inked a $579 million no-bid contract with the Office of Refugee Resettlement in March 2021.
“That just so happens to be two months after the charity hired Biden transition adviser Andrew Lorenzen-Strait. Family Endeavors received the funds to provide housing for migrant children at a facility in Pecos, Texas, though the group lacked any prior experience caring for immigrants, the Washington Examiner reported. The Office of Refugee Resettlement doled out an additional $1.34 billion to Family Endeavors in 2022.
“Family Endeavors also received an $87 million contract from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in March 2021 to provide temporary shelter for immigrant families. The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General later found that the charity had wasted $17 million of those funds on unused hotel rooms.”
