sorry, I disagree, the website of the HIAS at least suggests that they facilitate emigration to escape persecution, so the statement of the Dutch newspaper that the motivation of some of the people who are helped by HIAS is economical is relevant. 
from http://www.hias.org/immigration-help (retrieved 2009-01-03)
:"Immigration Help
:HIAS’ policy on immigration is based on the inherent belief in human rights.  This belief has led HIAS to strive to end the persecution of individuals and to offer refuge, and the legal protection of the United States, to many of its victims.  After more than 125 years of operation, HIAS continues rescuing, resettling and reuniting oppressed people from all over the world."

message: I believe I've cleaned up a mess in the early history which apparently resulted from confusion with another organization with a similar name (Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society). This confusion can also be found in a lot of casual writing on the topic, and I'm guessing someone picked up the error from some such source without citing it. My new version of that part of the history should be quite adequately cited and I think should put that confusion to rest. I believe the rest of the article is essentially accurate, and I'm personally not as interested in tracking down citations for what strikes me as accurate information as I was in cleaning up an inaccurate mess. I may be back in here some time, but for now I leave this to someone else to track down better citations for the rest. - Jmabel | Talk 03:41, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  When did HIAS start assisting more then just Jewish refuges as the  section does not mention non-Jewish refugees? 

message: As expected, after the Pittsburgh shooting, the page views of this article have gone up from 100 a day or less, to 40,000 yesterday. https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=HIAS It would be nice if we had a better article to offer all those readers. --Nbauman (talk) 23:32, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

message: Worth nothing the criticism coming from Zionist organizations:
"Bowers isn’t the only person apparently obsessed with HIAS. The extreme right has been vilifying the organization for some time. The anti-Semitic right has accused HIAS of bringing immigrants to the United States in a scheme that is somehow designed to benefit Jews. On the Jewish far right, the Zionist Organization of America has attacked HIAS and other Jewish organizations for lobbying to admit Syrian refugees to the U.S. and has accused HIAS of doing so for profit."
