Let me get this straight- you are suggesting that the Catholic Charities were stealing money?

---

What do you think?

---

I think they are an easy target because of the work they do for the poor and marginalized.

The truth is probably not as nefarious as some might hope and they probably run close to a deficit most of the time, staff turnover from low pay, and neglected facilities from budget shortfalls. I don't know and I know many on here don't know. What we do know is that they provide a very needed service to help resettle documented migrants in our country as they move through the process of becoming US citizens.

---

Here's what I know. Large, bureaucratic organizations suck at delivering services. In my opinion we need to stop sucking all of the money into DC so that communities can provide care at local levels. That has the best chance of resources being distributed charitably.

---

Historically that provides more opportunities for fraud and results in an unequal distribution of services based on local biases.

---

That doesn't even make sense. Local bias is why it is more effective. People in DC don't understand local issues.

Counterpoint: You've forgotten that a reform Jew teaching history in the NE knows a lot about immigration here in Texas.

I've taught Texas history in Texas. I have a pretty good idea.
