Remember when aiding and abetting a criminal act would lead to some pretty serious consequences? 

No longer, it seems — at least, if you're a non-governmental organization (NGO) or "charity" that is helping people cross into and remain in the United States illegally. Crossing into the United States illegally is still a crime, after all — and there are a number of these organizations, tax-exempt at that, dedicated to bogging down the immigration system and making it as difficult as possible to enforce the law.

Tax-exempt organizations have spent more than $100 million since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 working to prevent the federal government from deporting illegal immigrants, according to a Washington Examiner review of tax filings. 

The organizations, which include donor-advised funds shifting around millions of dollars in untraceable funds, Soros-backed philanthropies, and large legal groups, collectively spent at least $101.9 million on programs intended to aid illegal immigrants in avoiding deportation. While some of the programs paid for by these nonprofit organizations involved advocacy efforts, the vast majority were oriented toward providing immigrants with legal resources to thwart deportation.

This is being done by design. These organizations, make no mistake, are deliberately aiding and abetting in the illegal importation of millions. They do not appear to be concerned with who is coming in; they appear to be concerned only with making sure people do come in and are making it as difficult as they can to find and eject these people. They will, it's certain, be fighting the incoming Trump administration every step of the way. And, yes, it's amazing how often the name "Soros" pops up.

Here are some of those organizations.

La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.

And:

Legal Services of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization that provides free legal representation in civil rights litigation to low-income residents of the state, was also a major force in antideportation efforts between 2021 and 2022. The organization distributed $12.5 million worth of grants over that period to help other organizations provide “legal assistance for individuals facing detention or deportation.” 

Pangea Legal Services, located in San Francisco, spent over $5 million on providing representation to asylum-seekers and people who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2023. In those years, the nonprofit organization served nearly 1,500 clients through its program, according to its tax forms.

But here's the real kicker, and perhaps the consummate villain in this affair:

The Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society donated $500,000 to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in 2021 to support its “New Way Forward” campaign. The campaign pushed changes to the legal system that would end the automatic deportation of some criminal aliens, end the mandatory detention of illegal aliens, and decriminalize entering the U.S. without proper documentation. The Soros family’s foundation also gave the Transgender Law Center $250,000 in 2021 to “support Black LGBTQIA+ migrants through organizing and base-building, deportation defense and strategic communications.”

These organizations are providing support for people whose first act on arriving at the United States border was to break our immigration laws.

So Much for a Peaceful Transition... Biden Opens Door for Illegal Immigration Even Wider

President-elect Trump has promised to get control of the border. He has promised to deport people who shouldn't be here, beginning with known criminals. He has appointed Tom Homan, who seems doggedly fixed on getting this job done. But the fact that these well-funded "charities" exist shows that this won't be the job of months, but rather the job of decades, and the pro-illegal alien forces will fight every step of the way. There will be lawsuits, there will be every manner of aiding and abetting the people who are here illegally and who intend to remain illegally.

And, as I repeatedly point out, the influx since 2020 has been largely young, unattached, military-age men. We have little or no idea who most of them are, where they intend to go, and what they intend to do when they get there. 

The groups named above intend to ensure that this remains the case.
