With hundreds of Americans dead after Hurricane Helene’s assault on the southeast, which destroyed entire communities, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is saying that FEMA doesn’t have enough money to make it through hurricane season. FEMA does, however, have enough money to provide “shelter and services” to illegal aliens.
Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose jurisdiction includes both FEMA and the Secret Service, told the press that FEMA’s almost out of cash and won’t be able to make it through this year’s storm season, saying that the government is “expecting another hurricane hitting” and “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
The Mayorkas comments came in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which has killed hundreds ranging from Florida to Virginia and has caused billions of dollars in damage and destruction across the Southeastern United States.
In response to Hurricane Helene, the federal government has announced that victims who’ve lost everything will receive a one-time check for $750 from the feds, to help with “groceries” and “home repairs.”
Many Helene victims are calling the checks a slap in the face, especially when the other things the federal government, specifically FEMA, is spending money on come into focus.
According to a July report from the New York Post, a FEMA program for migrants, called Shelter and Services, is pulling in a whopping $650 million per year and recently received a nearly $300 million funding boost.
As part of the program, cities across the country are receiving millions of dollars to accommodate illegal aliens and local officials are telling the feds that they need even more money than they’re already getting.
According to the New York Post report, city officials and politicians are asking it be funded by as much as $3 billion.”
And the FEMA program is just the tip of the iceberg.
In all, the Biden Administration has spent more than an estimated $150 billion on America’s border crisis and the mass relocation, sheltering, and servicing of illegal aliens, according to the House Budget Committee.
The lackluster Hurricane Helene response from the Biden-Harris federal government, and the revelation that FEMA money that could be helping Americans has been handed to illegals, has given a renewed burst of momentum to the Trump campaign.
In a campaign press email, Karoline Leavitt, the Trump Campaign National Press Secretary, was quoted as saying “FEMA has run out of money for the rest of hurricane season because Kamala Harris used the funds for free giveaways to illegal immigrants. This is inexcusable and yet another example of Kamala Harris putting Americans LAST!”
