Francis, a leftist globalist Argentine, has made the defense of illegal immigration a major plank of his papacy. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is all-in. Post-Covid, weekly Mass attendance has continued its steep decline. There is a need to fill both the pews and the collection plates.

Catholic organizations are among the top recipients of federal immigration funds. Between 2008-2022, Catholic charitable organizations received approximately $3 billion in federal funding. The USCCB acts as a kind of general contractor. It is the single largest grantee of subawards in the nation. For example, Catholic Charities receives direct funding from the USG but also subawards from the USCCB.

According to Forbes, in 2022 Catholic Charities USA was the 13th-largest U.S. charity. Of $4.7 billion in total revenues, Catholic Charities received $1.4 billion from government support.

In short, the globalist Left and the Biden Administration are hiding behind faith-based organizations to keep federal grants flowing to assist illegal immigration and to deflect from the horrific criminal results.

Meanwhile, it is clear many Catholic charities benefit financially from their participation inand promotion ofillegal immigration.

Shouldn't Catholic charitable organizations devote themselves to the problems of poverty, lack of education, inequality, unemployment, and poor health care in the illegal immigrants' countries of origin instead of helping criminals break U.S. law and transform our country?
Rather, it appears that once again, it all comes back to money.

I can understand your frustration with a religious group of people that take the Bible seriously enough to house, shelter, and feed the immigrants. Some Christians have their priorities different than even the man made law of the land.

At the hearing, Mayorkas was grilled by Republicans as he has been for the past year over border issues including the increasing number of migrants crossing, fentanyl deaths and sex trafficking. Cruz, who has been an ardent critic of the Biden administration official, was particularly fiery in his line of questioning blaming the secretary directly for crimes against children.

"The children raped, they are at your feet," Cruz told Mayorkas. "And if you had integrity, you would resign."

"You're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders," Cruz continued. "This is a crisis. It's a disgrace."

Mayorkas responded saying "what the senator said was revolting" and refused to address his comments.
"Your refusal to do your job is revolting," Cruz said.

Cruz also asked Mayorkas if he knew how many of the migrant "get-aways" were rapists or terrorists, and said those who illegally crossed the border have led to drug overdoses.

"Look what has happened under your policy when you open up the border to the worst illegal immigration our nation's history people die," Cruz said.
