Opinion Page: Nonprofits Fueling the Illegal Immigration Crisis

From Capital Research Center, June 6, 2023:

A nonprofit is granted tax-exempt status because it serves some function beneficial to society. We want to encourage organizations like these to exist, so we reward them by not charging them taxes. What if a nonprofit is functioning in a way that harms society instead? Should it be allowed to keep its nonprofit status?

Such is the case with the cadre of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits fueling the illegal immigration crisis in America today. Worse yet, not only are they actively harming the country while being exempt from the taxes most Americans pay, they are often tax-payer funded.

Facilitators of the Crisis

The details of this tragicomedy are almost too ridiculous to believe. Nonprofits and NGOs are not only supporting illegal immigrants with food and shelter when they arrive at the border; they are funding and guiding their migrations from far away in Latin America. We’re talking debit cards, maps, legal counsel, pamphlets to guide them on what to say to Border Patrol agents, etc. These organizations are using tax dollars and tax-exempt status to fund the operation. It’s a mass invasion of America, literally funded by our own tax dollars. Stranger than fiction, indeed.
