U.S. Pays Record $20 Billion to Welcome Illegal Aliens with “Refugee and Entrant Assistance”
Among the many burdens that skyrocketing illegal immigration forces upon American taxpayers is the exorbitant cost of rolling out the welcome mat to accommodate, transport and provide migrants with a multitude of services upon their arrival in the United States. In the past two fiscal years the Biden administration has spent an astonishing $20 billion, according to government figures included in a report published by a nonprofit that investigates federal spending. A Health and Human Services (HHS) division known as Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) does most of the spending, which is considered “refugee and entrant assistance.” In 2022 the agency dedicated $8.925 billion to the cause and in 2023 the cost soared to $10.928 billion.
Federal Judges Enact Policies Granting Oral Argument Based on Lawyers’ Sex, Race
The robust woke movement gripping the nation’s private and public sectors is also threatening judicial impartiality with three federal judges enacting unlawful race and sex discrimination policies that grant oral argument in cases based on a lawyer’s gender and race. The goal is to give young women and minority attorneys greater opportunities to argue in court, according to the judges, who benefit from lifetime appointments. Two of the federal judges—Nancy J. Rosenstengel and Staci M. Yandle—were appointed by Barack Obama and one—David W. Dugan—is a Donald Trump appointee. All three sit on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.

State Supreme Court Lets University of Delaware Keep Biden Senate Records Hidden From The Public
The Delaware Supreme Court sided with the University of Delaware, denying the release of President Joe Biden’s Senate records in a lawsuit brought by the Daily Caller News Foundation and Judicial Watch. “The public has a significant interest in these documents,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told the DCNF. “If the Delaware courts are going to protect Biden from having to produce them or the secret deal that keeps them away from the American people, then Congress should get involved.”
Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense for documents regarding a key Biden staffer allegedly involved in the handling of Joe Biden’s materials housed at Penn Biden Center. “While the Biden administration was scheming to jail former President Trump over a document dispute, Biden operatives were desperately trying to cover up Biden’s own and more significant document scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And the cover-up continues with yet another Biden agency hiding records in violation of law.”
‘Migrant’ homeless family camped outside George Soros’ lefty group’s NYC offices
Tom Fitton, president of conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, ripped Soros for pumping money into lax-border policies yet not doing enough to help migrants when they arrive – even at his own doorstep.
“It’s not surprising to me that the left doesn’t want to deal with the consequences of their policies in a direct way,” he said.
