Feds Say There’s No Money Left to Respond to Hurricanes — After FEMA Spent $1.4B on Migrants
October 4th, 2024Via: New York Post:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.
“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”
Critics pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allocated $640.9 million this year in FEMA-administered funds to aid state and local governments coping with the influx of asylum seekers — though Mayorkas’ office fired back late Thursday, insisting that those funds couldn’t be used for hurricane relief because Congress authorized them specifically for the migrant crisis.
General Flynn says that the claim that there’s no money to help with the thousands of Americans wiped out by Helene, is bullshit. He says that both the Speaker of the House and the President have the power to immediately redirect monies that were earmarked for others (such as the illegal aliens and the endless war machine overseas).
