Halt federal funding to NGOs that process or transport migrants
What the document says“Congress should halt funds given to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to process and transport illegal aliens into and throughout the United States.”
The chapter asks that such funds and infrastructure, including the department's joint processing centers, be redirected to securing the border, detaining people and providing space for immigration court proceedings.
What the document actually says“Congress should halt funds given to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to process and transport illegal aliens into and throughout the United States.”
Congress should stop paying charities to move people through the country.
Charities help process and move people at the border. Some get federal money for it. The book says that money should stop. It should go to the border instead.

Section 19 directs the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to review and, if appropriate, audit all contracts, grants and other agreements providing federal funding to non-governmental organizations supporting or providing services, directly or indirectly, to removable or illegal aliens, to pause distribution of all further funds under those agreements pending the review, to terminate any found to violate law or to be sources of waste, fraud or abuse, to prohibit future ones, to coordinate with the Office of Management and Budget so that no such funding appears in appropriations requests, and to start clawback where appropriate. The chapter asks Congress to halt the funds. This is executive action inside existing appropriations, and the terminations turn on a finding about a particular agreement rather than on the processing or transport of aliens as such. The order also does not redirect the money to border security, detention or space for immigration court proceedings, and it does not mention the department's joint processing centers.
The order tells two cabinet heads to review all federal grants to groups that help aliens here illegally. Money stops during the review. Deals found to break the law end, and new ones are barred. But the book asked Congress to cut the funds. This is action inside money already granted, and each cut turns on one deal. The funds are not moved to border work.
