Comer, Grothman & LaTurner Open Probe into FEMA Providing Taxpayer Dollars to NGOs That Incentivize Illegal Immigration

Press Release

Date: May 15, 2023
Location: Washington, DC

"The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is conducting oversight of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) administration of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP). Based on recent reporting, EFSP funds are possibly being used by certain NGOs to offset expenses incurred abroad in efforts to facilitate and incentivize illegal immigration to the United States. If true, this is a gross misuse of federal taxpayer dollars.

President Biden and his Administration have issued a series of executive orders, memoranda, and other policies that eroded deterrence and undermined border security. These disastrous policies have led to unprecedented encounters of illegal border crossers at the southwest border and subsequent releases from custody in many cases. Taxpayer funded NGOs then facilitate illegal border crossers' release and onward travel throughout the country. These releases have overwhelmed American communities from Yuma and El Paso to Martha's Vineyard and New York City."
