No Tax Dollars for UN Migration

Full Title:
No Tax Dollars for the United Nation’s Immigration Invasion Act

Summary#

This bill would bar the Federal Government from making contributions to three United Nations agencies: the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). It also directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to do a study and an audit. The study must list all federal assistance programs that provided grants or loans to these three agencies, name nongovernmental organizations that received funding under those programs, show the total amounts given to each agency for fiscal years 2021 through 2025, list any restrictions on that funding, and assess how much the agencies should repay. The audit must cover the Department of State's Refugee Travel Loan Program. The GAO must report its findings to Congress within 180 days of the bill becoming law.

What it means for you#

  • The United States could not make new federal contributions to IOM, UNHCR, or UNRWA if this bill becomes law.
  • The GAO will identify federal programs and nongovernmental organizations that provided money to those agencies between 2021 and 2025.
  • The GAO will audit the Refugee Travel Loan Program and report to Congress within 180 days.
