Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said yesterday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will not have enough money to finish out the official hurricane season, which ends November 30.
FEMA is generously funded by Congress: last week an additional $20 billion were added to their available funds. But now they’re running out of money. Where did it all go?
More than $1 billion went to the care and feeding of foreign nationals who entered this country illegally and continue to live on the largesse of Washington, while citizens in North Carolina and other Southern states, victims of Helene, are dying from lack of water, medicine, food, and shelter.
FEMA allocated to migrant care nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year. That money went to its “Shelter and Services Program,” which provides “humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants.”
Mayorkas insisted that his agency is currently “meeting the immediate needs” of Helene’s victims. That’s not what you hear on social media outlets. There — on X, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, etc. — a virtually universal chorus has arisen denying that FEMA is doing much of anything, other than order citizens around. The majority of rescue and recovery work is being done by civilians, with FEMA officials taking up hotel space and waiting for orders.
For her part, presidential hopeful Kamala Harris announced yesterday that the government would provide “seven hundred and fifty dollars for folks needing immediate needs being met.” [Emphasis added]
Compare her token little $750 with the $9,000 the government has this spent this year on each and every illegal migrant they’ve admitted.
Helene will most certainly turn out to be the costliest disaster in American history. Just as certainly, it will also be remembered as the Biden/Harris Katrina.
