The US Conference on Catholic Bishops (USCCB), who made billions off of its illegal alien resettlement programs from the US government, announced on Monday that they would not renew their agreements with the US government for their refugee and illegal migrant resettlement programs.
The USCCB and Catholic Charities made billions of dollars resettling illegal aliens in the US for several years now.
According to Grok-AI, while individual agencies report figures ranging from tens to hundreds of millions (e.g., $47 million to $278 million for Fort Worth, $81 million for Galveston-Houston), the network’s total federal funding for refugee programs likely reaches into the billions over multiple years, with $1.4 billion cited for 2024 alone across broader migrant services.
The number of illegal aliens soared under the Biden regime to nearly 20 million in four years. Catholic Charities was there to redistribute these aliens across the country and made $1.4 billion in 2024 alone!
Catholic Charities aided and abetted this illegal invasion of America.
This was a very profitable time for Catholic Charities who pretended like these border crossers were “refugees” and spread them across the country on taxpayer dime.
During these dreadful years over 325,000 children were lost during Biden’s time in office.
An August report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General admits that over 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children were lost track of and “are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”
On Monday, the USCCB used word games to portray their years of fleecing taxpayers and abetting human trafficking as noble efforts.
From its very founding, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has been concerned with helping families who are fleeing war, violence, and oppression find safe and secure homes. What would eventually become the USCCB was founded in 1917 as the National Catholic War Council to support the war effort and care for Catholics in the military. In 1920, it established a Bureau of Immigration to help displaced families find new opportunities in the United States. Many of us can trace our own parents, grandparents, or great grandparents to these very families.
Over the years, partnerships with the federal government helped expand lifesaving programs, benefiting our sisters and brothers from many parts of the world. All participants in these programs were welcomed by the U.S. government to come to the United States and underwent rigorous screening before their arrival. These are displaced souls who see in America a place of dreams and hope. Some assisted American efforts abroad at their own risk and more seek a place to worship and pray safely as they know God calls them. Our efforts were acts of pastoral care and charity, generously supported by the people of God when funds received from the government did not cover the full cost.
Today, the USCCB makes the heartbreaking announcement that we will not be renewing existing cooperative agreements with the federal government related to children’s services and refugee support. This difficult decision follows the suspension by the government of our cooperative agreements to resettle refugees. The decision to reduce these programs drastically forces us to reconsider the best way to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters seeking safe harbor from violence and persecution.
As a national effort, we simply cannot sustain the work on our own at current levels or in current form. As USCCB cooperative agreements for refugee resettlement and children’s programs end, we will work to identify alternative means of support for the people the federal government has already admitted to these programs. We ask your prayers for the many staff and refugees impacted.
While this marks a painful end to a life-sustaining partnership with our government that has spanned decades across administrations of both political parties, it offers every Catholic an opportunity to search our hearts for new ways to assist. The USCCB will continue advocating for policy reforms that provide orderly, secure immigration processes, ensuring the safety of everyone in our communities. We remain steadfast in our commitment to advocating on behalf of men, women, and children suffering the scourge of human trafficking.
For half a century, we have been willing partners in implementing the government’s refugee resettlement program. The Gospel’s call to do what we can for the least among us remains our guide. We ask you to join us in praying for God’s grace in finding new ways to bring hope where it is most needed.
The gravy train is over for Catholic Charities. Moving forward, maybe USCCB could focus on finding all of the trafficked children lost inside the country today. It’s the least they could do.
