Episcopal bishop lectures Trump while earning taxpayer millions to bring migrants into US
Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon to President Trump during an inaugural prayer service, coupled with her church’s advocacy for humanitarian immigration programs, reveals a striking hypocrisy — one that could be seen as self-serving and even a conflict of interest.
That’s because the federal contracting arm of the church, Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM), is paid to bring in people on resettlement programs that Trump has temporarily paused and targeted for re-evaluation.
EMM budget figures for 2024 are not available yet, but in 2023 it earned $53 million from various taxpayer-funded government programs to resettle 3,600 individuals.
Unlike everyday immigrants, these new arrivals receive government assistance and, most importantly, are immediately eligible for all forms of welfare, such as Medicaid and cash assistance, on the same basis as a US citizen.
In an wild understatement, a 2012 Government Accountability Office report quotes an official noting that “funding is based on the number of refugees they serve, so affiliates have an incentive to maintain or increase the number of refugees they resettle each year rather than allowing the number to decrease.”
EMM brings in LGBTQ refugees and asylees in a special federal refugee program started during the Obama administration called “Preferred Communities.”
This program pays a premium over standard refugee resettlement for contractors...
The Episcopal Church also earns a commission for collecting on travel loans made to refugees resettled by EMM.
The institutionalized church is filthy with corruption. And, Bishop Budde’s church is obscene in gathering the lucre. Talk about the blending of Church and State!
You progressives? You fell for a scam.
Now we know where the Right Reverend found the money to pay for those fancy robes.
Is it any wonder that Episcopal Church attendance is tanking.
