When you turn off the federal garden hose, the on-the-ground revolutionary water bugs eventually dehydrate to a halt. The same may happen for a radical illegal alien-supporting venture in the Lone Star State, which can be tied directly to the apron strings of George Soros.
“Texas’ largest immigrant legal aid group was forced to lay off more than 150 employees after President Donald Trump’s administration ended a contract that provides such services to unaccompanied migrant children,” The Dallas Morning News reported on March 31. “RAICES informed 158 employees recently that they were being laid off as a result of the Trump administration ending the contract with the Acacia Center for Justice, wrote Jack Merinar, who serves as legal counsel for the nonprofit, in an email.”
They make it all sound so innocent. “Unaccompanied migrant children” means illegal alien youths trafficked into America, no matter how benignly the big-box media may garnish its accounts. And nowhere in the article, of course, will the reader be informed that the Acacia Center for Justice is a spinoff organization of a Soros front group.
Legal Representation for a Child-Smuggling Construct?
“RAICES is among the network of providers Acacia uses across the country to provide legal services for migrant children who enter the United States without a parent or guardian,” the paper continued. “Acacia, a national nonprofit based in Washington DC, uses a network of providers and subcontractors to provide legal representation to 26,000 children when they are in immigration court.”
Why exactly are the American people supposed to believe this is a good and salutary thing? How is it not aiding and abetting a vile pipeline that imports vulnerable foreign children into the United States without an adult family member to look after them? And these children are often handed over in an improperly vetted fashion to perform life-threatening cheap labor or to be abused by the sex industry. How did the progressive establishment manage to make normalizing an ongoing tragedy a humanitarian virtue?
The Acacia Center spun off from the Vera Institute in 2021. Acacia openly states it believes “no immigrant should be detained.” Vera is a hardline radical organization that champions “ending mass incarceration” in addition to its strident support for illegal immigration. The listed financial data on its website stops at 2021 but reveals that the organization received 86% of its “grants and contributions” from the federal government that year.
Vera has another major backer. Notorious progressive globalist “philanthropist” Soros donated more than $10 million to its coffers from 2016 to 2019 via his Open Society Foundations, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
The Biden administration funneled hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Vera and then Acacia when the task of “representing” unaccompanied migrant children was handed over from parent to spinoff. The money was spent to boost self-identified leftist social revolutionaries.
‘Every Person Has the Right to Call This Country Home’
RAICES, the local Texas organization backed by Acacia, has a long history of rabidly supporting illegal immigration into the border state. “RAICES was created in 1986 to welcome and fight for families seeking safety and freedom in the US,” its website proclaims. “We grew from the Sanctuary Movement as a response to immigration policies that created impossible legal barriers for Central American refugees to seek protection in the US.”
The group is steeped in the language of Marxism. “From the courtrooms to the halls of Congress, RAICES fights for systemic change, recognizing the power of the collective,” states a website post on “Rights Advocacy.” “Together, we can ensure every person has the right to seek asylum and call this country home.”
Everyone? Nobody can be turned away?
Unsurprisingly, for an organization so in thrall to massive unchecked immigration, RAICES also strongly backed the anti-police movement in recent years. It saw the Black Lives Matter movement as an adjunct to the greater social revolution of which mass immigration is only a part.
“The immigrant rights movement must commit to fighting for justice for Black communities and all communities of color,” a June 2020 RAICES Facebook post declares. “Our politics have expanded and shifted beyond our own lived experiences, and we believe that this is the right moment to echo the Black Lives Movement’s demand to defund the police and be clear that we must also abolish ICE [US Immigration and Customs Enforcement].”
Now, the federal judiciary is intervening in an attempt to keep the money flowing. On April 1, a judge in California ordered the Trump administration to temporarily restore legal aid funding so that parentless illegal alien children can remain in America.
Acacia is not a plaintiff in that motion. However, it will surely be a huge beneficiary if the federal cash pipeline is reassembled.
Spot the Soros Poodles
“[P]laintiffs said they are not asking for the contract to be restored; rather, they want a return to the status quo, which is spending $5 billion that Congress appropriated so children have representation, said Karen Tumlin with the Justice Action Center (JAC) at a court hearing” on April 1, the Associated Press reported.
Do we even need to tell you who is financially propping up the Justice Action Center?
In 2023, the Tides Center’s inaugural “Immigrants Belong Fund Grantees” featured JAC.
“The Tides Center essentially acts like a middle man, funneling hundreds of millions of dollars every year to a network of seemingly independent charitable organizations – primarily progressive activist groups,” The Washington Free Beacon noted. Soros has given the Tides Center’s sister organization, the Tides Foundation, more than $22 million over the years, watchdog website Influence Watch reports.
The poisonous tangled vine of federal government-sponsored and Soros-supported local action is strangling American communities one by one.
