On Monday, The New York Post<\/a> posted the following headline:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe the lies: The UN is paying illegals using US taxpayer cash<\/h1>\n

Why are we still supporting the UN? Can’t we kick them out of New York City and use the building for kitchy condos?<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In 2021, early on in America\u2019s historic border crisis, I wrote that the United Nations was abetting the problem by\u00a0handing out debit cards and cash vouchers to aspiring illegal border crossers<\/a>\u00a0on their way north.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One outraged group of 21 border security-minded lawmakers pitched a bill that would require the United States, the UN\u2019s largest donor, to turn off the taxpayer money spigot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

H.R. 6155 never caught fire, though, in no small part because \u201cfact checks\u201d\u00a0from outlets such as the AFP<\/a>\u00a0claimed that the UN was doing no such thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those fact checkers lied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UN\u2019s just released the 2024 \u201cInter-Agency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela\u201d (R4V for short), a planning and budget document for handing out $1.6 billion in 17 Latin America countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It confirms the UN, with the helping hands of 248 named non-governmental organizations, is indeed giving debit cards to illegal migrants \u2014 funded, in large part, by US taxpayers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the R4V plan title naming Venezuelans as recipients of this aid operation, the document\u2019s fine print (footnote on page 14 and paragraph on page 43, for instance) says the largesse goes to \u201call nationalities\u201d and \u201cmultiple other nationalities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are sending foreign aid to these countries which is being misused and stolen by the tyrants who govern them, and then we are giving money to the people who flee those tyrants. Until the citizens of those countries are willing to stay in those countries and fight for freedom, nothing is going to change. America is the country it is because our Founding Fathers fought for it. Admittedly we are not currently going in the direction that they planned, but their system of government has generally held. It’s time to cut off the funding that is not going directly to the people in need. American money does not need to uphold tyrants or encourage people to break the law, either directly or through the UN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
