Nasty Bishop Who Chastised Trump's Immigration Policies Revealed to Have Pocketed $53 Million in Taxpayer Money



Budde's moral posturing conveniently omits the fact that the Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM), the federal contracting arm of her church, has been profiting immensely from taxpayer-funded government programs aimed at resettling migrants.

In 2023 alone, EMM raked in $53 million to resettle 3,600 individuals, according to the New York Post.

The news outlet added that in 2024, EMM "sponsored" 6,400 individuals from 48 countries, including Afghans under a special humanitarian program and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

These new arrivals are immediately eligible for all forms of welfare, such as Medicaid and cash assistance, on the same basis as U.S. citizens. Further, they can sponsor friends and relatives under a recent Biden expansion of the refugee resettlement program.

More from the New York Post:

Since EMM's ability to lobby is restricted, the Episcopal Church itself, being a separate legal entity from EMM, lobbies in D.C. for more programs that benefit EMM.

EMM brings in LGBTQ refugees and asylees in a special federal refugee program started during the Obama administration called "Preferred Communities."

This program pays a premium over standard refugee resettlement for contractors that resettle "refugees experiencing social or psychological difficulties, including emotional trauma resulting from war and/or sexual or gender-based violence; survivors of torture; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) refugees; refugees who are HIV positive; populations with physical disabilities or other medical conditions."

Then there is the public-private partnership program misnamed "Matching Grant."

To get $1 of Department of Health and Human Services money, EMM must contribute just 10 cents, along with 90 cents worth of used cars, furniture, and monetized volunteer time.

The Episcopal Church also earns a commission for collecting on travel loans made to refugees resettled by EMM.

Here's how it works: The U.S. taxpayer funds the International Organization for Migration, which loans money for airfare for the refugee's flight to America. If the refugee pays the interest-free loan back, the church (not EMM) pockets 25% of the money. If the loan is not paid back, no one is the worse off, except the taxpayer.

Sadly, most on the right thought the same, despite being the majority.

She is working the system on the backs of tax paying citizens. Wonder if she feels guilty that they are spending peoples money that could be set aside for their own retirement? Does anyone in the government? Maybe Bernie could respond, let us know if government ever feels guilty about what they take. Or is he feeling too overjoyed over his four mansions, earned while on a government paycheck?

This is why the Episcopal Church has been going extinct for the past 40 years.

Yep, a church that was never about God.

Profiting in the name of the Lord. Bringing criminals into OUR Country. I say Gitmo her ass.

I rarely go to church anymore. My faith is as strong as ever, but I can not remember the last time I was in church and the sermon came from the bible. Every sermon I have listened to for a long time was a mixture of leftist propaganda and the left's idea about what they think Jesus was teaching. When the sermons became the left's twisting what Christ was teaching I started going less and less. I still read my bible and talk to God. And thank God every day for Trump.

I haven't been physically inside a church for over a decade now.  I have, however, found a online church I enjoy out of all places Montana.  Fresh Life Church - Pastor Levi Lusko.  Toy

The last time I was in church, and I was involved in the Southern Baptist church, was 1976, I walked out after the sermon and never returned.
The pastor stated, man is unperfect, it is expected that we will sin, but that's why we are here, so when you do sin, you can come back next Sunday and be forgiven,
WTF?
After that, I dumped ALL religion and went back to talking straight to God.

This twit bitch is the Devil on steroids!
