A new report claims Washington state misappropriated federal COVID-19 relief funds for illegal immigrants ineligible to receive such funding. The report‚ by the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC)‚ says the Democrat-led state divvied $340 million for migrants‚ with some receiving $1‚000 checks. According to Fox News‚ the funding came from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF)‚ “which was created by the American Rescue Plan Act and was intended to help state and local governments with their response and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.” In total‚ Washington State received $4.4 billion from that program. “As they destroyed our businesses and our lives they’re using the money they stole from us as a slush fund for foreigners. Think about that‚” Tammy Bruce writes. As they destroyed our businesses and our lives they're using the money they stole from us as a slush fund for foreigners. Think about that.

Your government is using billions of your hard-earned dollars to fund and incentivize a mass invasion — against your will — and in every way imaginable. pic.twitter.com/sP9DJZqEiI — Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) February 3‚ 2024 Fox News reports: The report from the group‚ which calls for a smaller federal government‚ highlighted how $340 million in funding went to a program that sent $1‚000 checks to illegal immigrants in the state. The funds‚ approved by the Washington state legislature in April 2021‚ provided “another round of funding for undocumented Washingtonians‚” according to an impact report on the program said. The Washington COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund was first set up in 2020 to grant checks to those ineligible for government assistance programs due to their immigration status. Treasury documents confirm that the state has since provided an extra $340 million in federal relief funds for the one-time cash grants‚ with 10% of the funding went to community-based organizations to administer the program. “The $340 million project is categorized as a ‘cash transfer’ expenditure under the SLFRF‚ approved for the State of Washington. This means the Biden Administration directly subsidized ‘undocumented’ immigration under the guise of COVID-19 pandemic relief‚” the EPIC report said. The state said that it had previously invested $128 million of funding from the Trump-era CARES Act for 120‚000 immigrants who did not qualify for economic relief‚ but the funding was not sufficient for the number of applications the program received.

However‚ the administration has been actively encouraging illegal immigration by using COVID money from the SLFRF to provide cash assistance‚ housing‚ legal aid‚ and other benefits to undocumented immigrants.” He added that there is still $120 million not spent from the fund. “Until Congress claws back this money‚ it will continue to serve as a magnet for illegal immigration‚” he added. State lawmakers have also had a history of spending the funds on non-citizens in other ways as well. In 2020‚ the state had a skyrocketing number of over 1 million unemployment claims. Later‚ at least $100 million of COVID aid went to waste in a Nigerian scam.

Migrants eligible for the program must sign an affidavit stating they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies‚ or else they would lose access to the funds‚ the report said. The amount available to each migrant family depends on their size and how much income they are receiving‚ according to the contract reviewed by the Post. A family of four might be provided nearly $1‚000 each month‚ or $35 per day for food‚ the Post reported. The cards are replenished every 28 days. New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance has partnered with the city to run the program. “MoCaFi looks forward to partnering with New York City to disburse funds for asylum seekers to purchase fresh‚ hot food‚” MoCaFi CEO and founder Wole Coaxum told the Post. “MoCaFi’s goal is to expand access to financial resources for individuals excluded from banking‚ such as asylum seekers‚ while helping the local economy.” City officials said that if the pilot program is a success with the initial 500 migrant families‚ it will be expanded to all migrant families staying in hotels‚ which is 15‚000 currently.

Former President Donald Trump‚ who is running for another term in the White House‚ says he believes the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is directing a surge in Chinese nationals coming to the United States. An interview exchange on “Sunday Morning Futures” showed Trump responding to Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo‚ who asked him if he believes the CCP is directing the flow of people from China to the U.S.‚ which she noted has increased of late. “I believe so‚” Trump replied. “And I believe we’re going to have a terrorist attack. 100%.” Trump on illegal immigration and whether he believes Chinese nationals are being directed by the CCP to go to America: "I believe so‚ and I believe we're going to have a terrorist attack. 100%." pic.twitter.com/Pcb3eLOhtl — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) February 4‚ 2024 Trump went on to assert that he “had no terrorist attacks” during his first term in office‚ which spanned from January 2017 to January 2021‚ and he touted having “all sorts of bans on people from certain countries.” More than 24‚000 Chinese citizens were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in the past year‚ a number higher than the combined data on apprehensions from the ten previous years‚ according to a New York Times report in November. The news outlet noted the migrants are part of an “exodus” of people seeking to escape China’s harsh COVID restrictions and the authoritarian government led by Xi Jinping. Texas officials have disseminated figures showing cartels charging individuals from China $35‚000 to $50‚000 a person to be smuggled into the United States. As many as 10.5 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States in 2021‚ according to a report in November by the Pew Research Center‚ which observed the figure to be a “modest” increase over the population in 2019 and “nearly identical” to the number in 2017. Bartiromo asked Trump what he would do in a second term to grapple with what she estimated to be eight to ten million illegal immigrants in the U.S. “right now” on President Joe Biden’s watch. “Well‚ you’re going to have to deport a lot of them‚” Trump said. “It’s not sustainable.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Positing that 28‚000 people from China have come to the United States “in the last few months‚” Trump suggested there may be a national security threat‚ pondering whether an “army” is being put together. “And they were mostly men‚ almost all men from the age of 18 to 25‚” he added. “So what’s that all about?” Despite concerns about immigration‚ Trump insisted that he wants to get along with China in a second term and warned that any effort to take over Taiwan would “jeopardize my negotiating ability” with Beijing. Trump also said he thinks Beijing will try to meddle in the 2024 election. “And they won’t be interfering on my behalf‚” he added.
