Ford Foundation funds pro-amnesty groups as border crossings rise
Southern Border Crossings Reach Record High as Private Foundation Funds Pro-Amnesty Organizations
In a year where southern border crossings have hit a record high and an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States since President Joe Biden took office, one of America’s largest private foundations is still funding organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty.
The liberal Ford Foundation, with an endowment of $16 billion, has poured a staggering $11 million into activist organizations that push for amnesty for illegal immigrants in 2023 alone. Established in 1936 by the son of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, this foundation has become a major funder of leftist causes, ranging from reproductive and gender justice to organizations with ties to Palestinian terror groups.
Supporting mass illegal immigration has become a central focus for the Ford Foundation, which pledges to “build power and influence immigration policy” and “strengthen and broaden the immigrant justice field” to ensure that immigrants can live without fear, regardless of their documentation status.
Grant Recipients and Their Agendas
The Ford Foundation has awarded grants to at least 17 organizations that advance a left-wing agenda on immigration. One such organization, the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers’ Guild, received a $450,000 grant in August to provide maximum protection for immigrants at risk of deportation.
This organization labels America’s immigration laws as “racist and immoral” and proudly works on behalf of those most marginalized by these laws. It has even advocated for an end to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, calling it “racist” and “xenophobic.”
Another grant recipient, the National Immigration Law Center, received a $100,000 grant in March and has called for a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants.
The Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center, awarded a $300,000 grant, aims to abolish the detention-and-deportation system through advocacy that leverages disability rights frameworks. It has launched multiple lawsuits against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.
The United We Dream Network, a radical left-wing activist organization, received a $500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. This organization calls for the defunding of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Patrol, and police, as well as amnesty for illegal aliens. It even demands a moratorium on the enforcement of existing immigration law.
Changing Public Perception and Organizing Activism
In addition to funding legal services and pushing for amnesty, the Ford Foundation has also provided financial support to organizations that seek to change public perception of the border crisis and organize street-level activism.
La Union del Pueblo Entero, which received a $750,000 grant, aims to offer immigrant defense strategies and change the narrative of the border. This organization has actively protested border security measures implemented by Governor Greg Abbott and demanded the removal of various security measures.
The Undocublack Network, awarded $850,000, focuses on building the power of black immigrants. It provides resources for undocumented black individuals facing deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Despite the record-breaking influx of illegal immigrants and the need for secure borders, the Ford Foundation continues to fund organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty. Their significant financial support plays a crucial role in advancing the pro-amnesty agenda and shaping public opinion on immigration.
George Soros’ Open Society Foundations Calls on Biden Administration to Halt Deportations and Grant Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants
The Open Society Foundations, led by George Soros, has made a bold move by urging the Biden administration to put a stop to deportations and provide amnesty to illegal immigrants. This call for action comes as part of their ongoing efforts to shape America’s immigration system into one that is fair and just.
One of the organizations that received a significant grant from the Open Society Foundations is the American Immigration Council, which is also a strong advocate for amnesty for illegal immigrants. With a grant of $550,000, the council aims to influence public opinion and policy regarding immigration, while also providing support to the Center for Inclusion and Belonging.
Another notable recipient of a substantial grant is the Border Network for Human Rights, which received a generous award of $1.5 million from the Ford Foundation. This organization has been vocal in its calls for amnesty for illegal aliens, as well as the demilitarization of the border and the closure of immigration detention facilities.
But the largest grant of all, amounting to $3.5 million, was given to Make the Road, a network of organizations spanning multiple states. Make the Road actively advocates for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants and works to prevent deportations through legal means.
The Center for Cultural Power also received support from the foundation, with grants totaling $400,000. Their “Reclaim the Border” initiative aims to change the narrative surrounding the border and provide assistance to immigrant rights groups, journalists, artists, and arts organizations focused on migrant stories.
These are just a few examples of the numerous organizations that have received millions of dollars in grants from the Ford Foundation to advance a left-wing agenda on immigration. However, while the foundation continues to pour capital into these activist groups, New York City, where it is based, is struggling to cope with the overwhelming influx of foreign nationals.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently acknowledged that the surge of illegal immigration is unsustainable, with thousands of foreign nationals arriving in the city every week. In response, Adams made significant cuts to police and education budgets to redirect funds towards managing the crisis. The city plans to spend a staggering $12 billion to care for foreign nationals through fiscal year 2025.
Despite these challenges, the Ford Foundation approved a $300,000 grant to the Fund for the City of New York to support the Immigrant Defense Project, which aims to end the mass criminalization, detention, and deportation of immigrants. This organization even advocates for pardons for criminally convicted illegal immigrants to prevent their deportation.
Overall, this year’s surge in funding to groups supporting illegal immigration reflects a doubling down on past efforts by the Ford Foundation. Their commitment to advancing amnesty and advocating for the rights of illegal immigrants remains steadfast.
Millions of Dollars Funneled into Immigration Advocacy
A staggering grand total of $114 million has been poured into organizations that oppose immigration enforcement and support amnesty from 2008 to 2022.
Despite this massive financial support aimed at preventing deportations, advocating for amnesty, and shaping public opinion on the border crisis, recent polling data reveals that the American public is far from satisfied with the current administration’s approach.
Public Disapproval of Biden’s Immigration Handling
According to a CBS News poll conducted in September, a whopping 66% of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s handling of immigration. This disapproval rating has risen from the 62% recorded in a previous Fox News poll conducted in late June.
Despite these concerning numbers, the Ford Foundation, a major contributor to immigration advocacy, has chosen not to comment on the matter.
In what ways does the financial support from these private foundations undermine the integrity of the immigration system and the well-being of American citizens
Implement a range of measures, including increased border security, to combat the issue. However, the continued funding from the Ford Foundation to pro-amnesty organizations undermines these efforts and perpetuates the problem.
The grants provided by the Ford Foundation to these organizations not only fund legal services and activism but also seek to change public perception of the border crisis. By shaping public opinion and advocating for amnesty, these organizations have a significant influence on immigration policy and the public’s understanding of the issue.
The Open Society Foundations, led by George Soros, have also joined in this push for amnesty and an end to deportations. Through their grants, they aim to shape America’s immigration system into one that they perceive as fair and just. However, these efforts disregard the need for secure borders and the rule of law, which are essential to a functioning society.
The significant financial support from these foundations plays a crucial role in advancing the pro-amnesty agenda and shaping public opinion on immigration. While they may claim to advocate for fairness and justice, their actions undermine the integrity of the immigration system and the well-being of American citizens.
The record-breaking influx of illegal immigrants and the strain it places on local communities cannot be ignored. It is imperative that our immigration policies prioritize the safety and security of American citizens, as well as the well-being of legal immigrants who have followed the proper procedures.
The continued funding from these private foundations to organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty only exacerbates the issue. It is crucial for policymakers to prioritize the interests of the American people and take the necessary steps to secure our borders and enforce immigration laws.
In conclusion, the influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border has reached a record high, with an estimated 1.7 million entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office. Despite this, private foundations such as the Ford Foundation and the Open Society Foundations continue to fund organizations that oppose deportation and advocate for amnesty. This financial support not only undermines efforts to secure our borders but also shapes public opinion on immigration. It is essential for policymakers to prioritize the interests of the American people and take the necessary steps to address this crisis effectively.
