NM nonprofits misused federal funds, gave them to illegal aliens: DHS audit

According to a new audit report issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), around $110 million Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-awarded humanitarian relief to the National Board was misspent by 18 nonprofits, some of them being in New Mexico. However, the names of the particular non-profits were not listed in the report. 

“In some cases, it was given to illegal immigrants who had evaded Border Patrol,” reported Fox News.

The OIG report notes, “On March 18, 2021, FEMA awarded $110 million in humanitarian relief funding to the National Board. According to the National Board, as of September 8, 2021, it had awarded $80.6 million of humanitarian relief funds to 25 LROs throughout California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. We judgmentally selected 18 [local recipient organizations (LROs)], which received awards totaling $66 million, to review how the funds were used. The National Board continued to award and reimburse humanitarian relief funding to LROs throughout our audit.”

“We determined that these 18 LROs did not always comply with the funding and application guidance when using funds. Specifically, the LROs did not always provide or maintain the required receipts or documentation to support reimbursement for humanitarian relief fund services. In addition, some of the LROs were unable to provide supporting documentation for families and individuals to whom they provided services. From the information some LROs provided, we determined some families and individuals did not have a DHS encounter record.” 

The lack of a DHS encounter record means these “gotaway” illegal aliens had evaded Border Patrol agents instead of turning themselves in after crossing into the country illegally. 

“The IG said that of the 824 names it tested as a sample, 197, or 24%, were ineligible to receive humanitarian services, and 154 did not have an encounter record,” the Fox News report noted.

In the 2022 fiscal year alone, 2.3 million illegal alien encounters were registered by DHS.

The OIG warned in the report that “Without additional oversight and enforcement from FEMA and the National Board, LROs may continue to use the funds for services without providing the required supporting documentation for reimbursement, increasing the risk of misuse of funds and fraud.”

    1. I’m not surprised at all benn going on for years and years. Government uses nonprofits for shuffling money money to illegals for at 20 yrs that I know of

  1. These LROs should be deemed ineligible to receive future federal funding, i.e., taxpayers’ money! Without proper accountability, these agencies have no right to use federal dollars. Period.

  2. So what? Who is going to prison over this? Anyone? Is anybody gong to be held accountable?

    Ill give you the simplest answer John…. Not a damn thing and not a damn one. No one gives a rats (***) who gives away taxpayers money without keeping records because the taxpayer doesn’t give a (****) in the first place.

    One taxpayer pitching a (B****) over money already spent and never in a thousand years will be recovered and returned doesn’t do anyone any good except the illegal end user… They however are happy as (s***). Sucking money from Americans doesn’t mean squat to anyone in America any more. .. not event he American taxpayer because there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it.

    The dollar means nothing to anybody… for it to mean anything right now to a poor person…it has to start with at least $100… and that isnt (****). Even if it was $1,000… that will last 35 seconds…

    In one persons hands, you gotta think in the hundreds… of thousands of dollars… $100,000 is a start to changing the life of a poor American… $500,000 does something FOR ONLY A SINGLE PERSON…A POOR AMERICAN CITIZEN… not an illicit immigrant…(F***) they could be happy with free medical, free housing, free food, $900 a month to pay the $600 a month truck payment and beer money… or a fricking piñata on Easter.

    Reporting this crap doesn’t do…anything. We, (I say this loosely because I know I am not alone), stopped giving a s(***) when no one gets held responsible and punished for the miss deeds. Punish the ba(******) and then see my response. It will be more positive… that I can guarantee.

    90% of the media is racist and lies constantly to continue the cannon fodder for the other lies and the DNC’s response has always been and will always be… print more money.

    Throw money at the problem and a solution will happen. Good bad or indifferent… the DNC government will take credit for everything good and lie about everything bad. Staying in power, the DNC MUST…SHALL… give away money to purchase votes to REMAIN IN POWER.

    The DNC won in New Mexico. They have succeeded in creating the banana republic government they desired. Too many stupid ignorantly bought and paid for sheep voters now outnumber common sense freedom loving people.

    Disarming the citizenry must be accomplished so they do not fight the everyday governed lives of all of us.

    The black shirts at the demand and direction of the GOOBERMENT will be at your door in the near future… probably by July 1, 2024… when all the gun control measures were passed out of committees voted on or partially voted on but somehow avoided the Tolite Queen of Santa Fe’s penmanship.

    When the roundhouse is surrounded, and they who do the surrounding, permit only the conservative GOP members to flee, and the mob lights the place on fire and burns it to the ground with all the DNC leaders inside… that might change my mind on the direction NM has been going.

    Heck, I might even take a trip up there to rummage through the ashes to see if I can find a token or two to sell at the Tesuque flea market awarding the departed as sort of a “In Remembrance and celebration too…”

  3. Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2000 Mules” demonstrates how IROs were used to harvest and place ballots in drop boxes in the last election. New Mexico’s present administration in passing HB 4, a 45-page law that guarantees the practice. The law creates a permanent absentee list.
    Who cares if 32 ballots are sent to the same address year after year. Obama is a community organizer after all. Funding his organizations comes from us, the taxpayers.

  4. Thanks for continuing to expose this corruption. Hopefully, someone will compile the lengthy list of criminal activities in such a way that the mainstream media cannot ignore it.

  5. There are a number of churches in Albuquerque who are supporting immigrants in housing, food, etc. Wonder if they are guilty?! Somebody needs to check them out.

  6. Yawn our country is a banana republic. We have a governor who paid hush money before an election for sexual misconduct she’s treated differently than a republican. The government hands out trillions if dollars to buy votes. Illegals run businesses underground pay no taxes. The rest of us tax payers are constantly used and abused treated like slaves.
