I saw/heard Mayorkas himself say there is no money left for FEMA disaster relief. Yet billions$$$ are being spent to house illegal aliens in hotels, and give them cell phones and gift cards.'A White House memo criticized Republicans’ claims that hurricane money was spent to house illegal immigrants, which it described as “bald-faced lies.”
[…]
Harris does not disburse FEMA funding as vice president. The claim about using disaster relief funding to house immigrants is false, a Washington Post fact check found.
[…]
Trump, however, did move money from FEMA as president: He diverted nearly $10 million in funding to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use for detention programs in 2018. In 2019, his administration redirected millions more from the disaster fund to ICE, including $38 million in the middle of hurricane season.
Trump also came under criticism as president for his responses to certain natural disasters, including Hurricanes Irma and Maria. His administration also rolled back more than 125 environmental regulations, including flood standards and measures aimed at curbing climate change factors that can drive extreme weather.'

Money is not being stolen from FEMA and given to ‘illegals’ – Trump lies about hurricane relief.
