Giving 20 billion in aid and comfort to our enemies:

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent $20 billion on grants going to migrants in the years of former President Joe Biden's presidency, which saw record numbers of illegal immigration in the United States.
The taxpayer-funded assistance was used to help purchase cars, homes, as well as loans for start-up businesses among other services in the United States, according to the New York Post. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at HHS handed out around $20 billion to nonprofits and NGOs in the fiscal years of 2021-2024 in what the outlet said was a "giant magnet" for those crossing the border and claiming asylum. The data was given to the outlet by OpenTheBooks.
In fiscal year 2021, $2.3 billion was sent out the door, followed by $3.3 billion in 2022, $10 billion in 2023, and $4.2 billion in 2024. The funding is obligated spending, meaning that not all the funds have been disbursed, but are set to be.
The ORR was tasked with resettling migrants claiming asylum as well as refugees coming to the United States. The Biden administration drastically increased the number of migrants that were able to get funding from ORR, and over $10 billion was spent on grants in 2023 alone to manage the influx of foreign nationals.
NGOs received up to $1.7 billion in order to shell out payments for
cars, homes, college tuition, as well as start-up business loans up to
$15,000. Medicaid care, "emergency housing support," and many other
services were offered by these organizations to migrants, using money
given out by the ORR. However, most of the funds were going to place
unaccompanied migrant children, with $12.4 billion being obligated over
the last five years. This amount of spending was going on despite
nearly 300,000 children going to sponsors that were unvetted, according
to the outlet.
