This federal refugee contracting agency is 97%
taxpayer funded, by Ann Corcoran 9/5/16
I’m talking
about the US Committee for Refugees and
Immigrants (USCRI) which
is the contractor responsible for refugees arriving in Twin Falls, Idaho. USCRI
is also the agency embroiled in the controversy about bringing Syrian Muslims
to Rutland, VT.
This is the
second in my series on the US State Department’s nine major resettlement
contractors***. I told you about Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) here a couple of days ago. I’ve
reported on the nine (really quasi-government agencies) many times over the
years, but it’s been about 2 years since I examined each of their financial
statements closely, and since we have so many new readers I figured it was time
to do it again.
The information
on USCRI is from its 2014
Form 990 to the IRS: They
had a total revenue that year of $51,524,570. Of that
$46,560,452 is from government grants (that is you). They had
another $3.4 million from various fees and contracts. $1.9 million of
that was from those air fare loans I told you about in the post on LIRS. I
expect that most of the $3.4 comes from government sources of funding.
Run those numbers and you will see this means
that 97% of their funds are from federal, state and local tax payers. Forget that
warm and fuzzy spin about charity and “humanitarianism!” They couldn’t
exist without your money and without Congress shelling it out to them!
