Washington - Today, Congressman Lance Gooden reintroduced the No Tax Dollars for the United Nation’s Immigration Invasion Act to cut off taxpayer funding to United Nations organizations actively incentivizing illegal immigration.
“It’s time to stop subsidizing our own destruction,” said Rep. Gooden. “The United Nations is running a taxpayer-funded operation to funnel illegal immigrants into our country, threatening our sovereignty, security, and the very fabric of our nation. I am working with the Trump Administration to end this immediately.”
Key Provisions of the No Tax Dollars for the United Nation’s Immigration Invasion Act:
Defunds UN Migration Organizations: Halts State Department contributions to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Accountability Audit: Directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a full audit of U.S. funding to these entities and report how much the UN owes taxpayers, the NGOs complicit in administering migrant resettlement services with these funds, and a full review of the State Department’s Refugee Travel Loan Program.
Background: For years, the United Nations has used American tax dollars to bankroll mass migration to our southern border:
The State Department has been providing funds to UN organizations as a part of a coordinated mass migration scheme that encourages illegal crossings, threatening the safety and security of American communities.
The State Department has previously admitted it has “no record” of these so-called loan programs, exposing a shocking lack of oversight and accountability.
UN-affiliated “migratory support centers” across Latin America provide transportation, free legal advice, and even cash handouts to migrants heading for the United States.
UNHCR and IOM asked for $450 million in 2023 to use directly for migrant resettlement.
“The United Nations isn’t just complicit in the border crisis—they’re orchestrating it, and they’re doing it with your money. We will not allow globalist elites to trample on our sovereignty. This legislation will end this outrageous use of taxpayer dollars and hold the United Nations accountable for their role in this invasion,” Goodenadded.
