It makes sense for Americans to blame President Biden for this; indeed, polling indicates a majority reject his open-border policies and hold him responsible for what they’re seeing every day from our southern border.

But the dirty little secret is that Biden could not have accomplished this on his own. His administration needed assistance — and slowly but surely, the light is starting to shine on who is providing it.

That help has come from a vast network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), many of whom present themselves as charities or religiously affiliated nonprofits but who spend most of their money and time helping illegal immigrants settle in the United States.
