Dems used taxpayer funds to attack Trump policies
The nonprofits that sued to block President Donald Trump’s reforms during his first month in office had been awarded $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds in the previous administration.
“Your tax dollars provide critical support for the web of woke groups trying to transform America,” Scott Walter, president of the Capital Research Center, told The Daily Signal. “It’s shameless of them to use your tax dollars to sue your government for even more of your tax dollars. But being woke means never having to say you’re sorry!”
The Capital Research Center analyzed 15 nonprofits that joined 10 lawsuits against the administration in its first month, after receiving grants under the Biden administration.
According to a Daily Signal analysis, the federal government awarded these groups $1.7 billion during fiscal years 2021-2024.
Most of the lawsuits involved Trump’s immigration policies and his freezing of federal grants. The administration pursued aggressive reforms to root out fraud, waste, and abuse from federal grants, to enforce immigration law, and to reform the rules that make it hard for a president to fire bureaucrats.
On Trump’s first day in office, the Brazilian Worker Center and La Colaborativa filed a lawsuit representing O. Doe, a foreign pregnant woman, in challenging Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.
The order directed the government to no longer consider any person born in the U.S. to be a U.S. citizen, noting that the 14th Amendment states only that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” The amendment’s authors arguably did not intend to make children of aliens, who would be subject to the jurisdiction of other countries, citizens upon birth in the U.S.
The Department of Labor awarded the Brazilian Worker Center $775,837 during fiscal years 2021-2024, mostly for construction job training.
On Jan. 21, the immigration and racial activist group CASA filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.
A judge issued a temporary injunction blocking Trump’s order, but the Supreme Court ruled last month that such orders are unconstitutional. The judge has since blocked the order again, considering the case a class-action lawsuit.
Multiple agencies awarded grants to CASA during fiscal years 2022-2024, totaling more than $5.4 million. The Department of Health and Human Services awarded CASA $1 million in August 2024, for example, for “increasing access to services for vulnerable communities.” The Environmental Protection Agency awarded CASA $100,000 in July 2024 to improve “environmental literacy” and to support its “climate justice fellowship program.”

If you think it is crazy for the Government to be funding illegal immigration, you are not alone. The illegals should be deported and not be given federal funds to sue the government for doing its job. This looks like a plot by Democrat s to import future voters and get the government to pay for it.
