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.

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.​

There's no lie in there, uneducated one.

 

[westwall]

Nope. Two separate funds but you continue to aggressively remain ignorant.

Not what kameltoe and mayor's said.

You might want to check on which lie they are trying to hide.

An infinitesimal amount of aid compared to what FEMA, who republicans have spent decades trying to destroy, has been able to provide

The only problem with that is that FEMA is aiding the illegals by giving THEM plane tickets, $300 a night hotel rooms, and an insane amount of cash.

The people in the areas the hurricane hit are saying FEMA is AWOL.

It's true that civilians with pack mules are outperforming the Federal government. Biden should be embarrassed.

As should anyone that votes for the democrats who absolutely took money from FEMA to settle Illegal immigrants
