NY Post: Feds say there’s no money left to respond to hurricanes — after FEMA spent $640M on migrants

 

Americans are outraged after DHS Secretary Mayorkas revealed that FEMA "does not have the funds" to support disaster relief and aid efforts for the rest of the hurricane season after depleting the department's emergency funds for illegal migrant shelter programs. 

 

  • DHS allocated OVER A BILLION DOLLARS of FEMA's budget for illegal migrant housing in the past two years alone.
  • Now, FEMA is out of funds… "We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the [Hurricane] season and what — what is imminent."- DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. 
  • The Biden-Harris Admin is now blaming Congress- saying they have 'an obligation' to write another blank check to FEMA and allocate more money as a solution for their mismanaged use of funds that prioritized illegal migrants over Americans experiencing an emergency.  
  • The Biden-Harris Admin offered a $750 grocery grant to people who have lost everything. Not nearly enough to rebuild communities and people's lives from the Hurricane that wiped out entire communities and killed over 200 Americans. 

 

This gross abuse of taxpayer monies by the Biden-Harris Administration to bankroll housing and needs of illegal migrants over American citizens in times of emergencies and complete devastation is unacceptable and un-American.

 

What they are saying: 

TX Gov. Greg Abott: “Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first.”

 

Majority Whip Tom Emmer: “Biden-Harris Admin Used FEMA Disaster Funding For Illegal Immigrants’ This White House constantly prioritizes illegal immigrants over the American people. It must end.” 

 

Sen. Ron Johnson: “That’s because they spent it on illegal immigrants. It’s not a resource problem, it’s a management problem.

 

Sen. Tommy Tuberville: “Remember: @FEMA diverted $640 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to house illegal aliens.”

 

Sen. Roger Marshall: “Over a billion dollars that could be going to help Americans right now in the wake of Hurricane Helene was spent on housing and providing for illegal immigrants that Kamala Harris let into our country. This Administration has their priorities so backwards.”

 

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “Under the direction of the Biden-Harris admin, FEMA has been siphoning more than $1B in taxpayer dollars meant for disaster relief to support illegal aliens. Even in the face of massive destruction and heartbreak in our communities, this administration puts America last.”

 

Rep. Alex Mooney: “The Biden-Harris admin took more than a BILLION tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American *disaster relief* and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants. @FDRLST Impeach Mayorkas NOW.” 

 

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “The lack of leadership from @KamalaHarris  and 

@JoeBiden after Hurricane Helene is disrespectful to all Americans affected by this storm. Never let them forget it.”

 

Rep. Ashley Hinson: “FEMA shouldn't be able to spend taxpayer funds to support illegal immigrants & perpetuate the border crisis created by Biden & Harris. The agency should be solely focused on disaster relief & keeping Americans safe. Harris & Biden always put illegals over Americans. Disgraceful.”

 

Rep. Ben Cline: “The Biden-Harris Administration has diverted over $1 billion in FEMA funds meant for disaster relief to illegal immigrant services. Just yesterday, Mayorkas warned FEMA lacks the funds to last through hurricane season. It's egregious that resources meant for American citizens are being compromised for this Admin’s reckless open-border agenda.”

 

Rep. Brian Mast: “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris used nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of FEMA money to house ILLEGAL ALIENS. This is money that should have gone to AMERICAN CITIZENS dealing with natural disasters, like Hurricane Helene.”

 

Rep. Chip Roy: “The impeached DHS Secretary PRIORITIZED illegal aliens OVER American hurricane victims.” 

 

Rep. Burgess Owens: “Almost $1 billion in relief dollars has gone to welcoming migrants—now FEMA doesn't have the cash to make it through hurricane season. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden must immediately redirect all FEMA money going to illegal aliens to the areas devastated by Helene.”

 

Rep. Eric Burlison: “Mayorkas says FEMA doesn't have enough money to make it through hurricane season, but apparently it had enough to spend $1B resettling illegal aliens into the U.S. over the past few years.That's the Biden/Harris admin summed up in a nutshell. They put Americans last, always.”

 

Rep. Erin Houchin: “The Biden-Harris Administration is offering only $750 to families devastated by Hurricane Helene after draining FEMA’s hurricane fund to pay for the care of illegal immigrants. This is a complete mismanagement of resources, leaving Americans in need with next to nothing. It’s time for leadership that puts our citizens first.”

 

Rep. Gary Palmer: “$1 billion in FEMA disaster funds were used towards illegal immigrants. But yesterday, Mayorkas said there were not enough FEMA funds to help American citizens. Another example of the Biden-Harris administration putting Americans last.”

 

Rep. Jim Jordan: “The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to FEMA for disaster relief and used it to house illegal aliens. Now, they’ve abandoned American hurricane victims in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee.”

 

Rep. Josh Brecheen: “FEMA spent more than a billion of our taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens. This money could have been used to help the victims of Hurricane Helene. The Biden-Harris Administration puts American citizens last.”

 

Rep. Kevin Hern: “While Americans struggle to recover from disaster, @SecMayorkas

admits FEMA lacks funds for hurricane season—yet gave $640 million in taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants. We impeached him in the House, but the Senate wouldn’t convict. This November, we’ll fire him for good.”

 

Rep. Mary Miller: “Kamala Harris and Joe Biden spent $1 BILLION in FEMA funds to resettle illegal immigrants into the US.”

 

Rep. Michael Cloud: “Under the ‘leadership’ of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent on housing, feeding, and providing healthcare for those crossing our borders illegally. Meanwhile, American communities face the brunt of natural disasters with inadequate resources and support. It’s outrageous that the safety and well-being of U.S. citizens are taking a backseat to the administration’s open border policies. This is a government that is full on America last.”

 

Rep. Mike Collins: “It's just like the House of Cards plot where the president raids FEMA funds to give American citizens job benefits. The only difference is that Kamala Harris raided FEMA to give nearly $1 billion to illegal immigrants. Fact is stranger than fiction.”

 

Rep. Ralph Norman: “Yesterday, the White House announced that certain residents in the states affected by Hurricane Helene may be eligible for a one time, $750 payment from FEMA for assistance getting food and supplies. And now I see this article below?? Really??? FEMA allocated $650 MILLION during this year alone for "humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants."

 

Rep. Pat Fallon: “Sec. Mayorkas says FEMA doesn't have the cash to make it through hurricane season. But in the past few years, FEMA had plenty of cash to spend to resettle & house illegal aliens--to the tune of $1 billion. America last is the objective of the Biden-Harris Admin.” 

 

Rep. Tom Tiffany: “$750 for Hurricane Helene victims. $700 for Maui fire victims. $175 BILLION to Ukraine. FREE flights, health care, housing, and food for illegal aliens. Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, American citizens come last.”

 

Rep. Troy Nehls: “The Harris-Biden Administration spent OVER $1,000,000,000 in FEMA funds on services for illegal aliens. Meanwhile, Mayorkas says FEMA doesn’t have enough money to make it through the rest of hurricane season. This administration continues to put the American people last.”

 

Rep. Wesley Hunt: “First, Sec. Mayorkas claimed that FEMA had sufficient funds to help victims who were devastated by Hurricane Helene. Then, we learned FEMA allocated these same funds, to the tune of over $1 Billion, to assist migrants through government programs. The Biden-Harris administration continues to prioritize illegals over American citizens.”
