Stephen Miller Blows the Lid Off the NGO Refugee Industrial Complex [WATCH]

Stephen Miller sharply criticized what he described as a sprawling “refugee industrial complex,” accusing nongovernmental organizations of profiting off mass refugee resettlement while transforming small American communities and placing long-term financial burdens on taxpayers.

Miller said the system expanded dramatically under the Biden-Harris administration, with billions of dollars flowing from the federal government to outside organizations.

“President Trump has blown the lid off of the refugee industrial complex,” Miller said.

“And the way this works is exactly the way that you said, the US government, historically, and this, of course, got taken to the highest degree ever under Biden hands out billions with a beat, billions of dollars in grants to these third party groups, nongovernmental organizations.”

According to Miller, those organizations work with federal agencies to relocate large numbers of refugees into specific parts of the country.

“To work with the Department of State to find the poorest populations from the most dysfunctional places in the world and then bring them into small town America,” he said.

Miller said rural and Midwestern communities are often targeted because of the scale of change refugee resettlement can bring.

“They typically look for areas in rural communities, rural places, or more traditional Midwestern towns, they can completely transform,” he said.

“So they send them to small towns in Ohio, to small towns in Maine.”

He pointed to Minnesota as a central focus of these efforts.

“And of course, we’ve seen their central project has been in Minneapolis and St Paul in the Twin Cities in Minnesota,” Miller said.

Miller accused the nonprofits involved of amassing enormous wealth through the process.

“And so these nonprofits get massively rich. They rake in a fortune. They become some of the wealthiest nonprofits the world has ever seen,” he said.

He argued that their role goes beyond resettlement and extends into expanding dependence on government programs.

“And their job is to fly the refugees here to help them become citizens and to ensure that they are enrolled in every welfare benefit program in that train expense of the American people, exactly,” Miller said.

Miller did not mince words in condemning the practice. “It is heinous. It is shameful,” he said.

He contrasted that system with actions taken under President Donald Trump, praising the administration’s approach to refugee policy.

“And I’m proud of the fact which we don’t say enough, President Trump has stopped all refugee resettlement into the country,” Miller said.

Miller added that there is only one exception currently being made.

“The only refugee resettlement that is happening are the Afrikaners being persecuted in South Africa,” he said.
