[Oversight of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security]

Gooden: Who's paying for this? Are you aware of who's funding these? …

Because if you, I'll give you an example, Catholic charities, Jewish Family Services, Lutheran immigration, refugee services. My question is, are you aware of who is funding them,and their operations at the border?

Mayorkas:Congressman, we are grateful.

Gooden: Who's funding them?

Mayorkas: We are grateful for the appropriations that Congress have issued.

Gooden:So the United States taxpayer is funding them is what you're saying. Just to be specific, Catholic charities received over $1.4 billion from the United States taxpayers for their operations, encouraging illegal immigration. A Lutheran immigration and refugee service has reported it received $179 million in US government grants that makes up over 80% of their total support. So let me ask you this question since they're receiving this money, do you believe the number of grants and contracts awarded to NGO’S is something that should be made known to the American taxpayer should that be public information? Should we know how much money they're receiving for their operations?
