Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, the fearless leader of the Anti-Woke Caucus, didn’t hold back when he penned a fiery letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, sounding the alarm bells on the State Department’s questionable funding of the International Organization for Migration’s Travel Loan Program. With a sharp eye on the government’s spending habits, Banks made it crystal clear that American taxpayers are not in the business of funding free rides for foreign refugees while hard-working Americans struggle to make ends meet.

In a spectacular display of financial acumen, Banks highlighted the absurdity of the State Department offering interest-free, penalty-free loans to refugees through the IOM program, only to forgive the debt if borrowers face challenges like unemployment or bankruptcy. Meanwhile, back home, American citizens are drowning in debt and struggling to keep up with auto loan payments, all while President Biden’s disastrous economic policies continue to fail them.
Banks didn’t mince words when he pointed out the hypocrisy of prioritizing foreign interests over American citizens, slamming the Biden administration for its misplaced priorities. As a staunch conservative, Banks knows that it’s high time to put America first and stop wasting taxpayer dollars on programs that benefit outsiders at the expense of hard-working Americans.
Teaming up with fellow Republican warriors like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan, Banks isn’t afraid to stand up to the status quo and demand accountability from a government that seems more interested in pandering to global interests than looking out for its own citizens. With a deadline set for responses to their pointed questions, Banks and his allies are ready to fight for real change and put an end to wasteful spending that puts Americans last on the priority list. It’s time to stop the madness and start putting our country and its citizens first.
