This bill is currently in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It has not moved since March 3, 2025. The House committee must take action for the bill to move forward, but it remains stalled.
This bill faces a very difficult path because it would completely end U.S. support for major international aid groups, which most lawmakers view as essential for global stability.

The bill cuts off all U.S. funding to the International Organization for Migration, which handles travel logistics, medical screening, and transport for refugees approved for U.S. resettlement. Losing this funding could slow or disrupt the pipeline that brings refugees into the country on humanitarian visas, delaying arrivals for people already approved to come to the United States.
“the Federal Government may not make a contribution to the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), or the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).”
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Introduced in House
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
Rep. Lance Gooden and a group of House Republicans introduced the 'No Tax Dollars for the United Nation’s Immigration Invasion Act' to prohibit U.S. contributions to UN agencies like the UNHCR and IOM, alleging they facilitate illegal immigration by providing cash and resources to migrants.
House Republicans are intensifying efforts to eliminate funding for UNRWA and other UN migration agencies. The move reflects growing conservative opposition to international aid programs that critics claim incentivize global migration and lack sufficient oversight.
Rep. Lance Gooden reintroduced the 'No Tax Dollars for the United Nation’s Immigration Invasion Act,' which would halt State Department contributions to major UN migration groups and require a GAO audit to determine how much the UN owes U.S. taxpayers for past spending.
