The Biden administration just awarded $41,000,000 to a newly minted non-profit called the Acacia Group to help illegals fight immigration battles. So the government is paying taxpayer money to help people fight the cases the government is bringing (presumably also paid for with taxpayer money!)<\/p>\n

The Acacia Center for Justice, a Washington, D.C.,-based nonprofit born from a partnership between the Vera Institute of Justice and Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR), has received six “legal services” contracts from the Department of Justice that carried start dates of Sept. 1, according to records.<\/p>\n

The Vera Institute, which views immigration enforcement agencies as a “threat” to civil liberties, hauled in a massive $171 million government contract in March to help unaccompanied minors avoid deportation,\u00a0Fox News Digital previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taxpayer-backed government grants and contracts propel the Vera Institute. Between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, $152 million of the group’s $191 million in revenue came from government sources, its most recent financial audit shows.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Think we mentioned that $171 mill before? With extensions etc. Fox reports the total Vera contracts could hit $983 million – guess this $41 mill puts them over that wonderful billion mark.<\/p>\n

That arrangement lasts until March 2023 but can reach as high as $983 million if renewed until March 2027, according to the agreement. It appears to be the largest federal contract Vera has secured for immigration-related services for any single year dating back to the mid-2000s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For what it’s worth, the conservative blogoshere loves to call Vera “Soros-backed” and there is some truth in that – his Open Society Foundation gave them $10,000,000 over several years. But they’ve been around since 1961 and that $10 million over several years represents less than 5% of their budget, so for once he gets a bit of a free pass. He is as “linked” as many of those “Trump met someone once who a decade later became a pedophile, Trump linked to child molestation” stories.<\/p>\n

I know I am not real smart, but it sure seems to me that using taxpayer money to fund anti-deportation suits brought with taxpayer money is just a bit counterproductive. Maybe we could save money all the way around just by telling them to stay the hell out or immigrate legally?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
