A new bill introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., aims to block federal grant money to nonprofit groups that assist illegal immigrants. The bill, known as the BARRIER Act (Blocking Assistance and Resources to Restrict Illegal Entry and Residency), is co-sponsored by several Republican representatives.
According to Gaetz, these NGOs and nonprofits are seen as supporting the Biden-Harris administration's mass-migration policies by aiding illegal immigrants in crossing the border and staying in the U.S. unlawfully. The legislation targets organizations that provide assistance to individuals who have broken federal laws.
