Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing legislation stripping Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax-exempt status from nonprofit and non-government organizations assisting migrants who cross the U.S. border illegally. The “Helping Americans by Restricting Resources to Immigrant Services Act” (HARRIS Act) specifically categorizes any organization “substantially” providing or paying for goods and services for illegal immigrants as having aided and abetted the criminal act of illegally crossing into the U.S.
“NGOs and nonprofits that enable the Biden-Harris administration’s mass-migration policies—by focusing primarily on providing assistance to those who have broken federal immigration law—should not be receiving tax breaks,” Rep. Gaetz said in an interview. “My legislation, the HARRIS Act, will strip tax-exempt status from organizations aiding and abetting the U.S. border invasion,” he added.
Gaetz’s legislation already has several cosponsors, including Reps. Randy Weber (R-TX), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ).
The issue of nonprofit and non-governmental organizations aiding illegal immigration along the U.S. southern border and in major American cities has flown under the radar in the corporate media and among most government watchdogs. However, The National Pulse reported in September this year that the Biden-Harris government has poured nearly $400 million taxpayer dollars into so-called migrant aid groups, which—in reality—serve to only further incentivize and promote illegal immigration into the country. The funding for these groups is often funneled through channels like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Shelter and Services Program (SSP).
“If nonprofits want special treatment under our tax-code, they should focus on doing genuine charity for genuine Americans, not illegal aliens,” Gaetz said regarding his bill.
