Congressman Gaetz Introduces Legislation to End Tax Exempt Status for Non Profits Abetting the U.S. Border Invasion

Washington, D.C.- This week, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) introduced the "Helping Americans by Restricting Resources to Immigrant Services Act," also known as the HARRIS Act. The legislation, if enacted, would end the tax-exempt status of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and other entities that are aiding and abetting the U.S. border invasion by dedicating a "substantial" portion of their resources to goods and services for illegal aliens. The legislation is cosponsored by Reps. Randy Weber (TX-14), Lauren Boebert (CO-03), and Andy Biggs (AZ-05).

Earlier this month, Congressman Gaetz introducedthe "Blocking Assistance and Resources to Restrict Illegal Entry and Residency (BARRIER) Act" to cut federal funding to NGOs, non-profits, and other entities that help migrants illegally enter or reside in the U.S. Together, these two pieces of legislation would sever the public-private partnership that has supported the illegal crossing of our southern border by millions of people.

"NGOs and non-profits that enable the Biden-Harris administration's mass-migration policies - by focusing primarily on providing assistance to those who have broken federal immigration law - should not be receiving tax breaks. My legislation, the HARRIS Act, will strip tax-exempt status from organizations aiding and abetting the U.S. border invasion. If non-profits want special treatment under our tax-code, they should focus on doing genuine charity for genuine Americans, not illegal aliens," said Congressman Gaetz.
