Bill has been introduced to re-direct FEMA funds from illegals to Helene victims

[Faun]

Given the shortage of funding for American citizens, millions of whom are or will be homeless as a result of these two hurricanes, not one more penny should go to foreigners who broke into our country to provide them shelter.

Two benefits: more money will be available to law-abiding Americans who find themselves in a disaster due to no fault of them own, and illegals will be less inclined to swarm in knowing that 4-star hotel rooms and “culturally appropriate” meals do not await them.

How much worse would it have been had FEMA not recently gotten that $20 billion.

Trump FEMA Claim Debunked: Agency Not Running Out Of Money Because Of Migrants

While DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has warned about the agency running low on cash for its disaster efforts, that’s a separate fund from money put toward migrant communities.

www.forbes.com

Former President Donald Trump and his allies have claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency can’t respond well enough to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because it’s diverted so much money to helping migrants—but that’s not true, as FEMA’s funds for handling disaster relief efforts are separate from money given to immigrant communities.

But those financial issues aren’t because of money going to migrants: While FEMA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have given more than $1 billion since the start of 2023 to communities that are taking in migrants, that’s been through the agency’s Shelter and Services Program, a totally different funding pot than the Disaster Relief Fund used to respond to hurricanes and other natural disasters.

Congress determines how much money goes to FEMA’s disaster fund, and the fund faces issues after lawmakers declined to allocate additional funding for FEMA’s efforts in the stopgap funding bill it passed last month, only extending FEMA’s existing funding level and allowing it to draw from $20 billion in funds more quickly.​

Humanitarian EFSP for Organizations Assisting Migrants

Congress first appropriated funds for EFSP assistance specifically for support for families and individuals encountered by the Department of Homeland Security (EFSP-Humanitarian, or EFSP-H) in 2019 and the following amounts were awarded to the EFSP National Board.​

If I had no fingers, I could count on one hand how many times the right complained about that.

BS

Congress appropriates money for Disaster Relief separate from other FEMA spending.

Congress wouldn't have to create a bill to print, or borrow money to put in the Disaster fund if they hadn't spent all that money on unwanted immigrants and other countries, like Lebanon and Ukraine. It doesn't matter if they are from different pots. It comes from one pot, inflation.

Utter bullshit. Even had Congress not given any money for migrants or other countries, FEMA still would have needed tens of billions for disasters.

This program was initially intended, as passed by the US government, Congress/President, etc., to act as a program for AMERICAN CITIZENS.

The leftists have since re-written the policy to make it for refugees.

"WASHINGTON - Today, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program’s National Board announced the allocation of $332.5 million to assist communities receiving noncitizens released from custody as they await the outcome of their immigration proceedings. This allocation, through the Emergency Food and Shelter Program-Humanitarian (EFSP-H) program, will go to 35 local governments and service organizations. This is just one component of DHS’s comprehensive, multi-agency plan to manage increased encounters at the Southern Border and support communities when the Title 42 public health Order lifts.. . . "

H.R.558 - Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act​

So the upshot is? Money meant for disabled Americans, vets, developmentally disabled, etc., is now being used to fund an illegal alien invasion.

This is the very definition of government waste and corruption. And yet? Folks on the left are just fine with the subversion of the government.

And it was first used for migrants in 2019 by Trump.

I look forward to you linking one of your posts where you bitched about him signing that bill...

The money would be in the general treasury to be spent elsewhere like Disaster relief.
I have so much money in the bank and I decide which bucket to put it in, so do they.
