Stop spending on illegal immigrants
To the Editor:
Amidst an unprecedented border crisis in the United States, the United Nations’ aid plan for migrants heading to the United States border is a monumental effort, encompassing cash giveaways and assistance to illegal migrants.
This comprehensive migrant aid package includes financial assistance, humanitarian transportation, shelter, food, legal advice, and protection against threats like human smuggling.
According to the United Nations’ “Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan,” nearly $372 million is being allocated to assist migrants en route to the United States border in 2024. According to these documents, the plan extends its intended beneficiaries to “all nationalities” and is a cornerstone of the United Nation’s aid plan.
Specifically, in collaboration with 248 non-governmental organizations, the United Nations is set to distribute millions of dollars through “cash and voucher assistance” and “multipurpose cash assistance” to immigrants bound for the United States. These funds, as detailed in the “Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan” and other United Nations documents, are often provided via pre-paid, rechargeable debit cards but also include hard cash in envelopes, bank and mobile transfers. This comprehensive aid package covers a wide range of needs, assisting illegal immigrants in receiving their daily needs during their journey.
These millions of dollars represent a significant share of the financial support needed by illegal immigrants and feed into a larger vision to spend $1.59 billion in aiding roughly three million people reach and cross the United States border. Besides financial aid, the United Nations offers “humanitarian transportation,” shelter, food, legal advice, personal hygiene products, health care and protection against threats like human smuggling.

United Nations way stations have been set up across migration routes these immigrants utilize. These hubs clearly illustrate the United Nations’ support network, which extends south to Colombia and Ecuador.
A striking $27.5 million is allocated for shelter for travelers in Colombia, with Ecuador, Peru and Mexico also set to receive sizable shares for aid distribution.
The plan unreservedly acknowledges that its efforts support migrants who intend to illegally cross our border, aiming to provide access to “asylum procedures, migratory regularization activities and socio-economic integration.” Justifying this approach, the plan states that such assistance is important because it “gives growing numbers of immigrants the flexibility to cover their expenses and needs they deem most urgent, increasing their dignity and autonomy.”
As the details from the “Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan” for 2024 are made public, it’s evident that the United Nations’ migrant funding is a well-thought-out United States border crisis aid plan that extends beyond mere financial assistance. It embodies an intricate support system that not only prepares migrants for their travel to the United States border but also acknowledges and addresses the complex layers of their journey, even as it gives rise to debate on the implications and legality of such support.
This unconstitutional spending to assist illegal immigrants in accessing and crossing our border can only be stopped if we, Haywood County Republicans and Republicans across the nation, get out and vote this coming November. It will require a change in administration to end the Democrat’s and Republican RINO’s spending on efforts designed forever to change the heritage and culture of the United States.
