Biden immigration crisis was a boon for Catholic Charities, which raked in zbillions in grant money

The first part of a much longer article with all sorts of details at the link.

[JustTheNews] The local charities received a substantial influx of taxpayer cash to provide services to immigrants, including shelter, food and travel.

President Joe Biden’s border policies were a boon for private religious charities associated with the Catholic Church, which collectively received billions in grant money while helping house and resettle migrants, while a federal watchdog warned about mismanaged funds and a potential for fraud.

The funding for these humanitarian programs that came through the Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency has come under renewed scrutiny by President Trump and his administration, who seek to reverse years of financial incentives for the crisis of border crossings under their predecessor.

Catholic Charities USA, comprised of 168 local member agencies across the United States, is one of the largest private recipients of government funding under several immigration-related programs that critics have said allowed the Biden administration to relocate and shelter migrants in the United States.

According to data from USAspending.gov, Catholic Charities branches across the United States collected over $2 billion in federal grants over the last four years of the Biden administration, primarily through the Department of Health and Human Services which granted about $1.93 billion for programs. Other agencies, like the Department of Homeland Security and Housing and Urban Development also doled out significant—if smaller—sums, about $156 million and $138 million, respectively.

Catholic Charities USA did not respond to a request for comment from Just the News.

#2 Do you approve of the continuation of paying billions of dollars to 'charities?'

#3 If you want to voluntarily contribute your own money to an organization that you believe is doing good, charitable work that's fine.

When the government imposes a tax on you and gives your money to so-called charitable organizations about which you know nothing, for reasons that you do not approve, that's armed robbery.

#5 Grant sounds so much more pinky out than distributing loot or hiring mercenaries.
