One of the things I'm not going to forget (and neither will any of you, as long as I'm around) is just how thoroughly and completely so-called 'charities' have been instrumental in bringing this immigration debacle to a head. First, Catholic Charities:
What about the immigrant right to privacy?

Kevin Dinnin, who totally has a right to privacy in his public financial schemes.
As usual, the culture follows the church in actual behavior if not stated morality:
Some secularists seem quite eager to make those same lectures here. Before you do, please post your salaries and funding sources so that we may either mock or pillory you at our leisure.

In the end, your tax dollars go into the pockets of people like Kevin Dinnin [pictured right] President and CEO of Baptist Child and Family Services Emergency Management Division (email him). He receives a salary of at least $477,799 annually. The organization’s entire payroll amounted to $33 million.
This isn’t unusual. Time’s Altman and Dias report:
"The median salary for the CEOs of nonprofit organizations like BCFS was about $285,000 in 2011, according to a 2013 survey by Charity Navigator."
Altman and Dias also explain why the government is so secretive about all this:
"To shield vulnerable kids from angry opponents of immigration and the media spotlight, the government declines to disclose the locations and activities of many of the facilities operated by BCFS and similar organizations."
But while the Left says it aims to “shield vulnerable kids,” it is really protecting profiteers like Dinnin.

Needless to say, secular groups are also getting in on the action. An outfit called Wolverine Human Services received federal funds to dump illegal aliens on the small town of Vassar, Michigan.

As these groups have learned, illegal immigration isn’t just government policy. It’s a moneymaking scam that eliminates the distinction between charities and business.
As Brenda Walker reported, one “deluxe detention center for illegal aliens” in Texas is run by The GEO Group, a private prison company. However, this “private” company relies on the same government sources for funding as supposed “charities” and religious groups.
Perhaps some of the people involved in these groups have good intentions. But the U.S. government does not exist to cater to their pathological altruism. And the government should certainly not be redistributing our tax dollars to these people and calling it “charity.”
In the face of this massive conflict of interest, what we need in dealing with these multimillion dollar “nonprofits” and their millionaire “charitable” executives is more cynicism.
These alleged charities are indistinguishable from the self-interested plutocrats of the Cheap Labor lobby—what VDARE.com calls the “Slave Power.”
Above all, these privileged recipients of state largesse have no business lecturing Americans, who provide their ill-gotten gains, about morality.
