Marco Rubio’s State Department is funneling $250 million from refugee services to pay immigrants to leave the country as Donald Trump bans entry to the United States from more than a dozen nations, The Independent has learned.
The money is being moved from the State Department’s Migration and Refugee Assistance, which is overseen by the Bureau of Population, Refugee and Migration, with a mission to “reduce illegal immigration” and aid refugees “fleeing persecution, crisis or violence and seek durable solutions for forcibly displaced people,” according to its website.
