Former President Joe Biden allowed “nonprofit” executives to enrich themselves by cashing in on the border crisis that was facilitated by his administration, a new report has revealed.
As the American people suffered from Biden’s open-border policies, the executives of a nonprofit accused of child exploitation were getting rich.
The nonprofit Southwest Key Programs struck gold, the New York Post reported.
The organization received $3 billion from the Biden administration and allowed top executives to double their large salaries, even as kids suffered abuse.
It’s just one example of how Biden’s border chaos benefited bad actors, from human traffickers to foreign gangs that expanded their footprint on U.S. soil.
Southwest Key Programs is the largest operator of shelters for unaccompanied alien children in the U.S. Before the second Trump administration severed ties with the group.
It worked with the Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement to house alien children.
As a record number of alien children flooded into the country under Biden, Southwest Key Programs received $3 billion in taxpayer cash from the federal government, according to HHS data.
The spike in funding appears to have benefited the nonprofit’s head honchos.
After a review of tax information, the New York Post found that executives at Southwest Key Programs saw their salaries rise significantly thanks to the boost in tax dollars.
At the start of the Biden administration, Southwest Key CEO Anselmo Villarreal was paid $491,642.
However, after receiving a huge sum of taxpayer money from the Biden admin, Villarreal was earning $1,174,551 per year by 2023.
The group’s chief human resources official Jose Arroyo Davila, and chief information officer Andy Harper, each doubled their pay to $600,000.
Geraldo Rivera, the senior VP of immigration services and later chief program officer, almost doubled his salary from $312,791 to $555,998.
While this was happening, the Biden administration was rushing to hand off alien children to poorly vetted sponsors.
Former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra likened the process to an “assembly line.”
The Biden administration ultimately lost track of some 32,000 alien children, a government report found last year.
In July, the Biden administration had an epiphany and sued Southwest Key for sexually exploiting children.
Republicans had raised the alarm months earlier, however.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shared whistleblower disclosures that Southwest Key was placing children at homes linked to gang activity and possible child trafficking.
The Trump administration has severed ties with Southwest Key over the alleged abuse of children in its care, and the DOJ consequently dropped its lawsuit.
President Donald Trump’s HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said:
“This administration is working fearlessly to end the tragedy of human trafficking and other abuses of unaccompanied alien children who enter the country illegally.
“For too long, pernicious actors have exploited such children both before and after they enter the United States.
“Today’s action is a significant step toward ending this appalling abuse of innocents.”
