Fema doesn’t have funding through hurricane season, warns Mayorkas

More lies from the party of Benedict Donald.
This is their reality. They read something on a hardcore right wing site and run with it. Then it just spreads and spreads, and feeds the ignorant group rage.

Not one (1) moment is taken to honestly wonder if they're getting the whole story, because they're conditioned to just believe. Not one goddamn moment.

This allows MAGA "media" to use actual, verifiable facts as the basis of a story, but STILL lie to their obedient, incurious base. That's how manipulation works.

I'd rather hear the whole story. When that's available, I'll read it.

But no funds for the million or more Americans still without food, water, power, and/or shelter

What is wrong with you people?
More than 5,000 personnel from across the federal workforce are deployed, including more than 1,500 from FEMA. To date, FEMA has shipped over 9.3 million meals, more than 11.2 million liters of water, 150 generators and more than 260,000 tarps to the region.
Totally inadequate. All of that x10 should have been pre-positioned.

 
The regime hates Americans. Everything they do is anti-American and pro illegal invader.


Hurricane Helene has killed hundreds of Americans across six states, obliterated entire settlements, and left multitudes of citizens homeless, hungry, and exposed in the dark.

Help is badly needed. The trouble, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency lacks the requisite funds.

During a press briefing Wednesday, Mayorkas told reporters, "We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds."

Congress recently poured $20 billion into FEMA's disaster relief fund and enabled the agency to draw on the funds with greater ease, reported the Associated Press.

FEMA's shelter and services program is a prime offender, providing "financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities."

The total funding made available for this program in fiscal year 2024 was $650 million. The funding total in fiscal year 2023 was $363.8 million. Hundreds of millions were previously awarded by FEMA for migrants through the emergency food and shelter program.

Earlier this year, nearly $19.6 million in FEMA funds was used to pay for an illegal alien welcome center in San Diego County.

In response to Mayorkas turning out empty pockets, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote, "This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) tweeted, "FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. U.S. citizens are dying. Pray for our country folks."

"'The Biden-Harris FEMA spent over $1 BILLION on funding illegal aliens.' America LAST," wrote Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.).
We gave $11 billion dollars to Israel.
 
Hahahaha what a bunch of saps.


Where is Studebaker Hawk when we need him?

Rumor: Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues.

Fact:​

This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.

Who started that rumor I wonder? Oh yeah the consummate liars at Neo-GOP propaganda central! I wonder what other phony stories they have on tap for the saps.
Well, if the permanent, unelected, unaccountable bureaucratic state says so, it's fucking gold coin! :icon_rolleyes:

What is that? Massive lies being cranked out from the Neo-GOP lie machine?
 
So? That didn't come from FEMA's disaster relief funds. Not a dime was diverted from funds available for Hurricane Helene survivors to cover noncitizen migrants
Dude, are you not listening to what was being said? Mayorkas said they don't have the money to pay for another hurricane if one comes! They spent it on illegals. So if we do get another natural disaster...then whoever is involved is shit out of luck! The Biden Administration robbed Peter to pay Paul thinking nobody would notice. As usual whatever Joe Biden touches turns to shit so they got exposed!

The United States has already faced 19 climate disasters this year with losses exceeding $1 billion each, according to FEMA.

Exactly. This is costing an ENORMOUS amount of money. They have and they are spending it.

Yes it’s putting a huge dent in the Disaster Relief Fund.

Yes if another hurricane hits it will require more funding.

And yes Congress will have to appropriate that money

Stop lying.

Stop trying to cynically and dishonestly use this disaster politically

Rumor: FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.

Fact:​

This is false.

One type of assistance that is often approved quickly after you apply is Serious Needs Assistance, which is $750 to help pay for essential items like food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication and other emergency supplies. There are other forms of assistance that you may qualify to receive once you apply for disaster assistance. As your application continues to be reviewed, you may still receive additional forms of assistance for other needs such as support for temporary housing and home repair costs. Learn more about the types of assistance available. If you have questions about your disaster assistance application and what you qualify for, contact us at 1-800-621-3362 to speak with a FEMA representative.

JERUSALEM, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Israel said on Thursday it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States to support its ongoing military efforts and to maintain a qualitative military edge in the region.
The package includes $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement, which has already been received and earmarked for critical military purchases, and $5.2 billion designated for air defense systems including the Iron Dome anti-missile system, David's Sling and an advanced laser system.
 
The Federal government has mobilized 5,000 Federal employees to help with the recovery.
A reminder, initial rescues, power and utilities are in the bailiwick of the local government.

But that's different. We ignore the illegal migrants into the West Bank just because.....
