An organization of Catholic bishops that for years has taken American taxpayer money and provided services and benefits to "refugees" now has filed a lawsuit against President Trump for cutting off that money spigot.

It is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops that sued over Trump's agenda to cut spending, eliminate waste and fraud, and even target any criminal activities in spending plans for the federal government.

The lawsuit in Washington names the State Department, the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Trump's spending reductions are part of his agenda, on which he campaigned and for which voters voted, to protect the United States first rather than funding efforts "that facilitate unchecked migration," according to the Gateway Pundit.

The bishops claim the freeze on funding, which deprives the organization of huge amounts of tax money, violates congressional appropriations and the Refugee Act of 1980.

The organization claims it for 80 years as helped "refugees" entering the United States to locate housing, learn English and find employment, and that its work is "an expression of charity taken in fulfillment of Christ's commandment to serve those in need, regardless of their race, creed, or color."

It charges that Congress has, in fact, "recognized" the need for refugee help and that is "essential to this country's interests."

The case talks about those qualified to apply for refugee status and how they are "screened,"

But then it insists that its work providing "domestic assistance" is a huge part of the overall U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, with Congress making it the "policy of the United States" to use taxpayer money for "resettlement."

The report said, "The USCCB's lawsuit hinges on the claim that the suspension of federal funds for refugee resettlement leaves thousands of refugees in limbo. But what these bishops fail to acknowledge is the utter disaster that Joe Biden's reckless immigration policies have created."

Under Biden's open borders practices, millions of illegal aliens entered the U.S. to become part of the population that often depends on public assistance for housing, food, and more.

The report said, "Under his administration, the southern border became a lawless free-for-all, allowing millions of unvetted illegal immigrants to flood into American communities, overwhelming law enforcement, hospitals, and schools. Trump's decision to pause this funding is a necessary step to clean up Biden's mess and reassess where taxpayer dollars are actually going. Instead of prioritizing illegal migrants, Trump's administration is focused on helping struggling American families, veterans, and homeless citizens—a fact that the liberal media and activist organizations conveniently ignore."

Trump has, in fact, ordered a halt to the entry of refugees and suspended taxpayer funding, until "a determination was made that resuming the program aligned with U.S. interests."
