A recent report has cast a spotlight on a top official from the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) who directed substantial migrant assistance grants to nonprofits where she previously held senior positions. Robin Dunn Marcos, who led HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), was responsible for overseeing $22.6 billion in grant distributions since 2020. Notably, her former employers emerged as major recipients, raising questions about the ethics and fairness of these allocations.
One of the organizations, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), where Marcos spent 23 years, received a staggering $598 million. Another group, Church World Service, where she worked for four years, was awarded $355 million, according to a report from OpenTheBooks. A spokesperson for the Administration for Children and Families stated that Marcos is recused from decisions involving specific parties, including her former employers.
Despite these assurances, the report highlighted a dramatic increase in funding for the IRC during Marcos’ tenure. The organization’s funding skyrocketed from $22 million in fiscal year 2021 to over $235 million by 2023. This raises eyebrows about whether her recusal was effectively implemented or merely a formality.
Under Marcos’ leadership, the ORR provided a wide array of benefits to migrants through a network of nonprofit organizations. These benefits included matching savings plans for vehicle and home purchases, small business loans, and credit repair loans. Additional services offered were cultural orientation, emergency housing support, legal assistance, and Medicaid care.
The OpenTheBooks report criticized these programs as a “giant magnet” for those seeking to cross the border and claim asylum. The ORR’s funding increased significantly during Marcos’ tenure, with annual grant disbursements soaring from $2.6 billion in 2020 to $10 billion in 2023. This surge in spending coincided with record-breaking southern border crossings reported by Customs and Border Protection.
The most substantial portion of the funding, $12.4 billion, was allocated to programs for unaccompanied minor children. However, the agency faced mounting criticism over its handling of minors, with allegations of unaccounted-for children. Tom Homan, former border czar under President Trump, estimated that 300,000 migrant children were unaccounted for under the program’s watch.
OpenTheBooks filed a Freedom of Information Act request in 2023 for any emails exchanged between Dunn Marcos and IRC but has yet to receive a response. Following the transition of administration, Marcos left her post at ORR after Trump took office. The report surfaced amidst Trump administration efforts to retract over $80 million that FEMA used to house migrants in luxury New York City hotels.

doesn’t just about everyone and their dog, think it’s time to get the nooses out or the wall ready for some public executions of these criminals that were in government, and some that still are.
Absolutely, I think it’s so ridiculous that basic foundational tenets and laws of the Constitution are not being applied to these evil thieves, traitors and outright criminals getting away with highway robbery, murder and then some!
Sign of the times though, when America actually turned out to be so evil a country that was founded by God fearing men who even died to create it; but it’s like all of that was forgotten when greed and power mongering took over, the very same thing those Forebears escaped from!
And the Communist Democrats are screaming that the President and his Administration are over reaching his presidential powers and the Communist Democrats are calling for the impeachment of Elon Musk, but what Communist Joe Biden and his puppet master Obama did to the American Citizens was all legal.??
Actually the Communist Democrats are more worried about how it’s hurting their pockets and their theft of taxpayers Money.
Michael; exactly and those criminals have some gall to shout bloody murder when it has been them the Communist Criminals that have done all of the damage to America and its Citizens!
The National Deficit rising from about 23.5 $Trillion when Trump left office and in about four years these bloody bastards increased that debt by around another 14 $Trillion and when all the damage is found and remedies to at least try to curtail this disaster are taken into account, like even Social Security being wiped out; it will be closer to 40 $Trillion in the hole for all of us suckers as they saw us!
I have no problem with all of those responsible being arrested, tried and executed at GITMO! Will all capable parties of bringing that justice to America do it? Time will tell!
Yes brother, time will tell.
Sooner the better for all of us.
Let them scream and kick and rant all they want it just showing just how corrupt they really are as Elon Musk and President Trump are getting closer by the day exposing their true evil ways and hatred of the United States, but they’ve still have the stupidest followers believing every lieing word that comes out of they’re mouth.
As Christ once told Satan, get behind me Devil.
All those Communist Democrat voters still haven’t learned to see who they’re standing with.!
It’s worth your time reading, The Military contractor should be executed immediately.! Send him to the head of the line.!
The CEO of a U.S. military contractor that produces key aircraft and missile system components has been named in Chinese government records as a member of influence networks tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Jerry Wang, head of S&L Aerospace Metals LLC, has attended numerous CCP-affiliated events, including gatherings linked to the United Front Work Department (UFWD), which specializes in advancing Beijing’s interests globally.
S&L Aerospace has been awarded approximately $60 million in defense contracts, supplying parts for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II, Boeing’s F-15 Eagle, and missile launcher systems. Despite its military involvement, Wang has been seen at high-profile CCP functions, including a 2019 event in Beijing where he was photographed applauding Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Older photos from 2006 show Wang interacting with Xi at a New York reception, where he presented the future Chinese leader with a statue. His legal representatives have denied any direct involvement with the CCP but have not disputed his presence at these events or his listing in Chinese government documents as a member of UFWD-related organizations.
National security experts have warned about the risks posed by foreign-linked individuals in U.S. defense supply chains. Former U.S. Air Force analyst L.J. Eads called the situation a “significant national security failure,” arguing that individuals with ties to CCP influence networks should not have access to sensitive military production.
Concerns extend beyond military contracts. S&L Aerospace also serves on a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) council that oversees critical manufacturing security. While the company insists it operates independently of foreign influence, it has not provided an explanation for Wang’s documented connections to Chinese intelligence-linked groups.
Neither the Department of Defense nor DHS has responded to inquiries about S&L Aerospace’s contracts. With scrutiny increasing, lawmakers are calling for immediate action to prevent foreign-affiliated individuals from gaining access to U.S. defense manufacturing.
Yes Brother Michael there it is as you said; “Let them scream and kick and rant all they want it just showing just how corrupt they really are!”
This reminds me of when I was a teen what my dad would say about the trouble makers or punks and bad guys; “just give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves!”
Great Scripture to mention here it fits perfectly and I’ve remembered it often times in discussions or in my own writings; so thanks for reminding me about it again!
Matthew 16:23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
Amen.
Oh that is all “red hot” information Brother!
“Have not disputed his presence at these events or his listing in Chinese government documents as a member of UFWD-related organizations.”
And this just points to all of the “Red Flags” all over this, “Commie Red Flags,” just like their “National Flag being RED!”
Again another zinger!
“Neither the Department of Defense nor DHS has responded to inquiries about S&L Aerospace’s contracts. With scrutiny increasing, lawmakers are calling for immediate action to prevent foreign-affiliated individuals from gaining access to U.S. defense manufacturing.”
I’ve said for years how even on the GOP side how Mitch McConnell along with others should not be in those powerful positions when for example he is married to a Chinese woman Elaine Chao whose father is an active CCP card holding member (Hello!) and owns a Container Ship Company operating out of the Marshall Islands, “Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag;” which Ditch Mitch is involved in or in the least got substantial campaign monies from his father-in-law, so could they even be from illicit drug sales too, International Drug Trafficking! One of the ships the Ping May, “Before the Ping May, a rusty cargo vessel, could disembark from the port of Santa Marta en route to the Netherlands in late August, Colombian inspectors boarded the boat and made a discovery. Hidden in the ship’s chain locker, amidst its load of coal bound for Europe, were approximately 40 kilograms, or about ninety pounds, of cocaine. A Colombian Coast Guard official told The Nation that there is an ongoing investigation.”

But I know this is only scratching the surface of the “Unbelievable Corruption” that exists within the Congress of many high ranking members, and to me it all fits with “End Times” and “America’s Great Decline” into secular, materialistic and pagan debauchery over the last several decades! I used to say a few decades ago how I could see the big shot politicians with “AG Task Force Teams” taking down the “Old Mafia” and crushing the organization; only so they would become the “New Mob,” a “Government Commie Nazi Organized Crime Syndicate” and it happened, this is what we see now in this Country in many areas!
I at least can ascertain that “the crime and criminality is so deep and extensive” that the “Old Time Mob” in comparison is like kid stuff!
Exactly Brother, and we’d have never known any of all this had Commila Harris had gotten Into office, then it would have been Audios America, for ever, when the Communist Chinese would’ve used our technology to destroy the United States.
Thank God for getting Trump back into office and thank God for the great job Elon Musk is doing. The puzzle is falling into place and the Communist house of cards is crumbling down.
President Trump’s Administration is like a well oiled machine and President Trump is the wrecking ball to knock it all down.
Don’t you love great news again.?
Michael so true, if that Cackling Bird Brain Lunatic Marxist Witch Puppet had actually become president it would be kiss our asses with our country Goodbye!
Now it’s time to get those responsible for all of this Treason and Carnage prosecuting them to the wall and then some, maybe putting some behind bars if they’re lucky, but if not that then definitely executing the worst of them that truly deserve to be terminated! Justice must be served in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, and the message across the land must be clear and concise; this outrageous treasonous criminality will not be tolerated and definitely will not go unpunished anymore!
Yes, Let’s make the News Great, Real, Honest and Righteous Again!!!
