WATCH: $orry $ister, But People Are No Longer Listening

Sister Norma Pimentel claims her organization only provided assistance to migrants processed by Biden’s border patrol, but she has turned a blind eye to the illegal invasion enabled by the Biden administration.

NOTE: Sister Norma Pimentel belongs to the Missionaries of Christ Jesus (Misioneras de Cristo Jesús) religious order. Like most religious congregations, its members take the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. This means that members do not personally own property or receive a salary for their work. Any income they generate (e.g., stipends, donations) goes directly to the religious community to support their mission and shared needs. The order provides for their housing, food, healthcare, and other necessities. According the the most recent federal 990 filed by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grand Valley, Sister Norma makes $67,504. Compare this to the average Catholic priest (who takes no vow of poverty) making an average of $36,000 year.

 
Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested President Donald Trump signed an executive order to permanently cut funding for non-governmental agencies (NGOs) like Catholic Charities.

Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley executive Director Sister Norma Pimentel says any cuts in funding will have major impacts on the help they give. However, some RGV residents have different views when it comes to the President’s actions.

“How do you turn back or say no to crying children? How do you say no to people that are hungry,” says Jacob Howell, who has helped fundraise for Catholic Charities.

He adds that he has seen how the organization helps many people, both locals and migrants seeking asylum in the United States.

“Whether you’re red or whether you’re blue, we all gotta just come together and to help humanity and help people in general and those that are less fortunate,” Howell said.

Others, like McAllen Resident Timothy Wilkins, feel a freeze in federal funding is necessary.

“I think Catholic Charities had a noble purpose on its inception, but again, you know, they, they streamlined the illegal immigration process and incentivized it to the degree we had millions of people stream across our borders,” Wilkins said.
