Let's Cut Some Spending: $29 million for 'Legal Orientation Program' for illegal immigrants

Remember the absolutely critical Omnibus spending bill Congress muscled through at the end of last year? It was 4,000 pages that no one read and cost taxpayers $1.7 trillion.

In our Let's Cut Some Spending series, ForAmerica will chronicle parts of the 2021 and 2022 spending bills from a variety of sources that you probably don't know about - programs, grants and spending of all kinds that should have never happened in the first place and many that are still happening.

Today’s offering: $29 million for 'Legal Orientation Program' for illegal immigrants!

PR Newswire reports:

Provides $29 million for the Justice Department's Legal Orientation Program, which empowers NGOs to coach large groups of detained aliens on immigration court proceedings. The effectiveness of this program is dubious as it does not provide actual legal counsel to aliens, the aliens who use this program are less likely to get an attorney and their matters take longer to resolve. Additionally, program participant organizations often blur the line between providing basic information about the process and providing legal advice.

WHAT?!?

Why are we giving any kind of aid to people who entered the country ILLEGALLY?

At OUR expense? CITIZENS' expense?

Completely insane.
