Just when it seemed like DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) had exhausted the Biden-Harris Administration’s greatest hits of taxpayer misuse… surprise! Another scandal rolls in.
According to a bombshell report [1] shared by DOGE last week, and announced by the White House, “Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening. So far, CBP identified a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records. These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect.”
These folks were supposedly screened upon entry (wink-wink).
Parolees, who were able to get social security numbers and work authorizations, collected the following taxpayer dollars:
- 905 collecting Medicaid (including 4 on the terrorist watch list) – $276k was paid out
- 41 collecting Unemployment Insurance, receiving $42k in benefits
- 22 received federal student loans totaling $280k
- 409 received {net} tax refunds (2024 only) for $751k
- Several (final number TBD) received SNAP (food stamp) benefits
Golden tickets to the welfare state.
So yeah, it’s the full American Dream – minus the part where they come here legally and tack on the twist where our tax dollars are footing the bill.
Naturally, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection didn’t issue a press release about this. DOGE had to dig it up.
So if you’re an average American trying to navigate a healthcare system you actually pay into, just remember: somewhere, a terrorist is getting Medicaid coverage faster than your grandma. Land of the free. Home of the brave. And under the Biden-Harris administration, a PPO provider for jihadists.
