Funding for illegal aliens could have assisted with hurricane relief

Hurricane Helene caused loss of life, and even the loss of settlements, while leaving American citizens homeless, hungry, without electricity, etc. Considering that we are still in hurricane season, there is the possibility that another hurricane could hit this or another area. FEMA is still in need of funding, which opened them to criticism.

From Blaze Media:

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.).

“Let me translate: ‘We are racking up trillions in debt with all the money that our money printer prints that we then take back from law-abiding American citizens like you but we exist to spend it on anything other than helping you,'” wrote Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson.
