⚡ The Three Pipelines ⚡
There isn’t one child welfare system. There are three pipelines that move kids and billions of taxpayer dollars.
1.PRM / State Dept. → legal refugees.
2.HHS / ORR → border/unaccompanied kids.
3.HHS / Title IV → U.S. citizen kids in foster care.
👉 Same contractors, three lanes of money.

There isn’t one child welfare system. There are three pipelines that move kids and billions of taxpayer dollars.
1.PRM / State Dept. → legal refugees.
2.HHS / ORR → border/unaccompanied kids.
3.HHS / Title IV → U.S. citizen kids in foster care.
👉 Same contractors, three lanes of money.
🔹 Pipeline 1 – State Dept. (PRM)
This is the legal immigration lane.
Refugees vetted overseas by UN & State arrive with status.
PRM issues prime awards to 10 “VolAgs” (resettlement agencies like IRC, HIAS, CWS, LIRS, USCCB, World Relief, Bethany, etc.).
VolAgs then issue subawards to 360 affiliates nationwide.
Coverage: housing, food, orientation for 90 days only.
👉 After 90 days? Case closed. Refugee children get shuffled into HHS programs or left to state/local systems.

🔹 Pipeline 2 – HHS/ORR (Office of Refugee Resettlement)
This is the irregular / border arrival lane.
Covers Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) picked up at the border + Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM).
ORR issues prime awards directly to shelter contractors like Southwest Key Programs (SWK), BCFS, Lutheran Services, etc.
URM side: ORR pays VolAgs (LIRS, USCCB, Bethany) to run foster placements.
Scale: Multi-BILLION-dollar contracts. SWK alone took $400M+ in a single year.
👉 Kids become case files in warehouses or foster placements, often with high abuse/runaway rates.

🔹 Pipeline 3 – HHS/Title IV (Domestic Foster Care & Adoption)
This is the U.S. citizen lane.
Title IV-E = reimbursements for foster care & adoption subsidies.
Title IV-B = child welfare services (prevention, reunification, casework).
Flow: HHS/ACF → state CPS → private contractors.
Contractors: Bethany Christian Services, Catholic Charities, Lutheran affiliates, private foster agencies.
Billions annually.
👉 This is where U.S. kids removed from their parents end up. Same NGOs play here too.

So who are these 10 VolAgs?
IRC (Wall Street, ex-DHS, Napolitano, BlackRock’s Larry Fink).
HIAS (Democratic insiders like Ruth Messinger, Obama FCC chair).
LIRS (Obama alum Krish Vignarajah, $642K salary).
USCCB (Catholic Bishops, nationwide Catholic Charities affiliates).
CWS (NGO cartel leadership + Soros OSF).
World Relief (Silicon Valley exec George Hu + Evangelical networks).
Bethany Christian Services (domestic foster/adoption giant).
ECDC (African diaspora ties).
USCRI (ex-ORR director runs it).
Episcopal Migration Ministries (inside the Episcopal Church).
👉 These 10 are the State/PRM lane, but some dip into ORR and Title IV.
⚡ Influence Mechanisms
RCUSA (Refugee Council USA) = cartel umbrella. Keeps all 10 united in lobbying.
Board members = Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Obama/Biden/DHS alumni. They donate across both parties (Larry Fink → Brown & Emmer; Ruth Messinger → Harris, Nadler).
Subcontract webs = affiliates in 360 cities, many tied into local CPS.
👉 They aren’t just “charities.” They’re organized influence networks, funded by federal grants and protected by campaign money.

So what about the domestic Title IV side?
It doesn’t have a neat umbrella like RCUSA.
Instead, it’s state-by-state CPS bureaucracies → thousands of private contractors.
But the same big faith-based NGOs (Bethany, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Services) show up AGAIN, taking both refugee/UAC money and Title IV foster/adoption money.
👉 It’s less centralized, but the same players double-dip.

Here’s the bleed:
•PRM = legal refugees.
•ORR = border/UAC kids.
•Title IV = U.S. foster kids.
But Bethany, Catholic Charities, Lutheran affiliates, and others sit in all three pipelines. They’re not “helping children.” They’re maximizing contract revenue, no matter which label the child wears: refugee, migrant, or American.

That’s why executive comp is so high.
IRC’s Miliband ($1.25M), LIRS’s Krish ($642K),
SWK’s Sánchez ($1M+).
They’ve built a multi-stream business model on the backs of kids.
The PRM stream keeps the “refugee” front polished, ORR/UAC keeps shelters full, and Title IV ensures a constant flow of domestic foster placements.

⚡ The bottom line:
There are three child pipelines.
👉🏻PRM = legal, vetted refugees.
👉🏻ORR = border, unaccompanied minors.
👉🏻Title IV = U.S. foster kids.
The same NGOs profit in all three lanes. They influence Congress through RCUSA, protect themselves with bipartisan donations, and subcontract each other at the local level.
The result: billions flow upward.
🚨And the children,
in
every
lane,
get
the
same
thing….
👉🏻trauma, 👉🏻instability, and
👉🏻“case closed.”
WHEN WILL WE END THIS!?
