Illegal immigrants deported from the U.S. back to Central America are greeted back home with toilet paper, school supplies and Barbie doll-style toys, paid for by American taxpayers and designed to make reintegration easier.
Over the past four years, taxpayers have shelled out $27 million to help deportees sent back to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, the Government Accountability Office said in a new report Friday detailing the assistance.
But the government can’t say whether the assistance, doled out by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is meeting its goals, the GAO concluded.
