Brooklyn, NY — The New York State Conservative Party today called on federal and state authorities to immediately strip tax-exempt status from the sanctuary organizations that collectively received more than $600 million in taxpayer dollars—according to The New York Post—while actively working to undermine federal immigration law.
“Based on their support for individuals operating in the U.S. illegally, these groups are effectively working as criminal organizations — on the taxpayer dime,” said State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “These groups must be publicly identified and stripped of their tax-exempt status. Taxpayer dollars are being used to break federal and state laws. There must be accountability.
“These aren’t charitable nonprofits—they’re taxpayer-paid political radicals,” continued Chairman Kassar. “If you’re taking taxpayer money to defy our laws, you’re not entitled to the courtesy of tax exemption—and you ought to be hauled into court if not prison.
“They’ve been using the cloak of charity to wage a political war against our federal system,” Mr. Kassar said. “It’s time to end this lawlessness.”
