Today’s Refugee Resettlement program is a study in government-sponsored fraud. The nine primary resettlement contractors, called “Voluntary Agencies” or VOLAGs, work with 350 subcontractors called “affiliates,” and are paid per head to resettle refugees. This includes $2,025 for each refugee from the State Department’s Reception and Placement program, and a Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant of up to $2,200 for employment-eligible refugees from the Health and Human Services Department’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

To receive the matching grant the VOLAG must provide $1 for every $2 of grant money, i.e. $1,100 to receive the maximum $2,200. A minimum twenty percent of the VOLAG contribution ($440) must be cash. The rest can be donated furniture, clothes, food and other goods, or volunteer time at a specified hourly rate. By obtaining cash and in-kind donations from the public, the VOLAG pays little or nothing.
