Where is the House Un-American Activities Committee when it is most
needed? Catholic Charities is a tool of the Devil.

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of San Antonio is defending itself
after becoming the target of critics who claim that it improperly used
federal funds to buy airfare for illegal aliens to fly to their choice
of destinations in the U.S.
Two South Texas lawmakers blasted the charity on Thursday for using
federal funds to purchase the airfare and said that the funds are
intended to reimburse nonprofits for food, shelter, and humanitarian
expenses, not free travel programs for President Joe Biden’s illegal aliens.
Reps. Henry Cuellar (D) and Monica De La Cruz (R) warned the charity
that it improperly used the money, KETK-TV reported.
Cuellar, the ranking member of the House Appropriations Homeland
Security Subcommittee, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Shelter and Services Program funds that the charity used for the
airfare violated the rules. He insisted that the money was only to be
“used for food and shelter, maybe transportation inside a city,” not for long-distance travel.
De La Cruz agreed and added that the group’s spending constituted a misappropriation of federal funds:
These tax dollars were not intended to be used to fly illegal immigrants
all over their country to the destination of their choice. They misused
funds and sent these illegal immigrants where their preferred
destination was with taxpayers’ hard-earned money. This is just simply unacceptable.
Catholic Charities of San Antonio admitted to the station that it had
been allotted $10.8 million in funding to care for migrants in their
area and that it used the funds to buy plane tickets for illegals.
However, Jose Antonio Fernandez, CEO of Catholic Charities of San
Antonio, insists that the airfare purchases were perfectly in line with
the limits of the funding rules.
Fernandez told the Catholic News Agency that the Emergency Food and
Shelter Program (EFSP) FEMA grant given to his organization “clearly
stated that you could provide transportation.”
“The funds were given to us to provide food, clothing — all these activities — including transportation,” Fernandez added.
“It’s not my interpretation. It is a fact; many companies in the U.S. provide transportation because it is allowed,” he insisted. “If you
contact FEMA, they will tell you that, yes, you are actually allowed to
provide transportation.”
Still, Fernandez noted that his organization has not paid for any
flights for illegals since December 2023 because he is now getting
funding from a different program that limits travel funding to five
percent of the budget — a smaller amount of the total spending than before.
He also says that the new situation is causing problems in San Antonio
because illegals can not afford to move on from the city, and that is
causing the population of illegals to grow.
“Now we’re seeing a lot more people staying in San Antonio because they don’t have the funds to go someplace else,” he exclaimed:
We feed them, we clothe them, we provide them with counseling services,
with financial assistance to the people staying in San Antonio — legal services, shelter services. We try to provide them with all these
wraparound services to help mind, body, and spirit.
Outspoken San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond recently noted that
Biden has thrown another $38 million at the county to help pay for
migrant services, but he maintains that the money would be better spent
to stop the migrants from illegally crossing the border in the first place.
“The County of San Diego just received $38 million from the Biden Administration to process migrants when dropped on our streets,” he said
in a post to X.
“Border patrol is their Uber into San Diego County, and San Diego County
will be the migrant’s travel agents,” Desmond added. “With federal tax dollars, the county’s mission will be to put as many migrants on planes, trains, and automobiles as quickly as possible to other parts of the country.”
