Which doesn't mean there is "widespread" corruption---although Republicans may try to promote it as such.
Why would they do that? After all, I've heard republicans say that, even if someone has been convicted of a crime, say for example 34 felony counts of fraud, that doesn't mean they're actually guilty. It would be lawfare to punish them in any way for it.

Ah. I see the issue. So after having misquoted the poster in question and creating a strawman argument you are demanding we come up with evidence to satisfy criteria no one claimed. No thanks. Play your silly games that real people are not dying with someone else.

As this report shows, many NGOs facilitating migration across the southern border, contributing to the abuse of our asylum system, and even incentivizing human trafficking and smuggling by the cartels receive a majority of their funding from the government, with some obtaining well over 90...
CRS has a CEO who pulls in over $600,000 a year. Missionaries of the Poor reach the poorest of the poor, they themselves have taken a vow of poverty and owe nothing. There is no reason to waste money going through the bureaucracy of the federal government.
