Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area is scaling up operations to resettle Afghan refugees following the Biden administration's increase of the refugee cap to 62,000. These organizations, known as Voluntary Agencies or Volags, receive significant federal grants, totaling over $1.5 billion in some years. Critics argue the financial incentives for these nonprofits are rarely scrutinized by mainstream media.

Refugee Resettlement, VOLAGs, Clinton Foundation Funding

The refugee resettlement program in the United States is characterized as a multi-billion dollar business involving the United Nations and volunteer agencies known as VOLAGs. The hosts allege that the Clinton Foundation and associated NGOs like Upwardly Global received millions in federal funding for refugee placement while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. They argue that the push for higher refugee quotas is driven by the financial interests of these resettlement organizations.
