The U.S. refugee resettlement involves “charitable” organizations called “volags” (voluntary agencies). A study by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) notes that these organizations have a vested financial interest in increasing refugee resettlement. Despite their name, most of their funding is not voluntary. Very large shares of their funding comes from American taxpayers.
The study notes that “These volags are funded, for the most part, by the U.S. government. Government funding ranges from a low of 58.5 percent to a high of 97.3 percent. . . . Yearly compensations for the heads of these organizations range from a low of $132,000 to a high of $671,749.”
