In 2014, your tax dollars paid 97% of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops Migration Fund budget

Unless his salary is paid from the few million dollars they receive from private donors, you pay his salary to promote amnesty, more refugees, and more Unaccompanied Alien Children importation. The Bishops were a leading advocacy group in favor of so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform which failed to pass Congress in 2013.
Last night, most interested in learning more about the US Conference of Catholic Bishop’s paid lobbyist, Kevin Appleby, who lobbies for amnesty among other things, I was pleased to find the 2014 Annual Report for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops Migration Fund.
By the way, according to Guidestar, the Bishops don’t have to file a Form 990 with the IRS because they are a “church.”  So, we can’t find out what salary and benefits package Mr. Appleby is pulling down.  Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?
Unbelievable!  Here is a link to the report, or see below as a pdf we downloaded (so it doesn’t disappear anytime soon!).
Go to page 3 to learn what YOU are paying for.
Now check out page 10!
Income from Federal Grants/Agreements………….$79,590,512
Travel loan Collection Fees (your money too)……$3,401,622***
Total Revenue…………………………………………………..$85,506,950
*** Refugees are required to repay their airfare, however the USCCB does the collecting and is permitted to keep a cut for themselves.  In other words, the entire amount of the travel loan is not returned to the US Treasury.
That means that YOU, US taxpayers, are funding the Bishops to the tune of 97% of their budget.
They could not exist without putting their hands into Caesar’s treasury! ...
