Harriet Hageman: “To add insult to injury, U.S. dollars provided to the U.N. are also sent to NGOs that use these funds to provide cash…”

“To add insult to injury, U.S. dollars provided to the U.N. are also sent to NGOs that use these funds to provide cash, debit cards, food, clothing, medical treatment, shelter, and even ``humanitarian transportation'' to U.S.-bound illegal immigrants in Latin American nations and Mexico. In short, U.S. taxpayer dollars are being sent over our borders to the IOM, which is then using them to facilitate the crisis at our border. The IOM is using U.S. taxpayer dollars to push our government to lower its border security policies and then aiding in programs rushing illegal migrants to the border, overwhelming the system in place and helping to facilitate the crisis we are facing. Mr. Chairman, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
