Biden-Harris DHS Sec Mayorkas admits FEMA funds won't last through hurricane season after diverting $641 MILLION for 'noncitizen migrants'

Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will not last through the hurricane season this year. This comes after the DHS diverted over $640 million for "non-citizen migrants," the latest term for illegal immigrants, for shelters in 2023. This diversion of funding was in April 2024, prior to the disaster that struck the Southeast with Hurricane Helene.
Mayorkas made the admission to reporters on Wednesday, per the Associated Press. “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told the press. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season." Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, however most of the storms occur in September and October.
FEMA is currently being stretched for cash as it has been working to assist with the damage that has been caused by Hurricane Helene in the southern states of the US. The storm made landfall in Florida last week, and then it went up through several other states in the Southeast before dying down. The storm flooded and destroyed several towns and has killed at least 160 people. Hundreds are still missing and that number is expected to rise.
Amid the lack of funds for FEMA relief, and the government's slower response to the storm, there has been strong backlash against FEMA and the DHS for diverting around $641 million to assist with shelter services for migrants, with many of them being in the US illegally. The funds were allocated to a number of different shelters for non-citizen migrants in the cities of Denver, Colorado; Washington DC; Chicago, Illinois; Suffolk County, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California and many others.
Tablet Magazine writer Park MacDougald brought attention to the funds being diverted to the migrant shelters in a post, saying, "Are you f*cking KIDDING me?? FEMA spent SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION DOLLARS on illegal immigrants this year and now it has no money for disaster relief."
The shelter program for non-citizens who have come into the country was reported on by The Center Square in July, where the outlet said that FEMA was growing the programs for migrants as the border crisis under the Biden-Harris administration has gotten worse. The outlet reported at the time, "The funding for the program has increased from $363.8 million in fiscal year 2023 to $650 million in fiscal year 2024. Now, city officials and politicians are asking it be funded by as much as $3 billion."
GOP Rep. Tim Burchett, of Tennessee, one of the states hit hardest by the storm, posted in response to FEMA not having enough funds to last through hurricane season, "FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. US citizens are dying. Pray for our country folks."
Journalist Mike Cernovich commented on the situation, "We do not have a government. This FEMA non-response is proof of that. No money for Americans because a billion dollars was given to communist NGO’s. We live under a hostile, occupying regime. Same as when Stalin took over Poland.”

I knew the democrats were going to cause me health problems as soon as Bath House Barry emerged on the scene. That has come to pass but I’m still fighting on every front.
That he actually came out and said this is spitting in the face of every American and telling the flood victims to go eff themselves. We are all beyond anger at this point. I can’t say one word of prayer on the behalf of these evil people.
Anyone who is or supports the D party (demon party??) is either evil, ignorant, or stupid.
THAT said, Southern Americans have the know-how and gumption to tell FEMA and the Feds to get bent, some of them have hog farms, and they know where the swamps are.
OFF topic:
What is the RNC doing to ensure the people in the flooded and destroyed areas are able to vote on or before Nov 5th?
Where are the polling places?
Will they need to register at a new address in time?
Do they have access to legitimate absentee ballots?
Their votes cannot be disenfranchised as the installed Communist/Democrat administration is ignoring them and leaving them to rot, starve, and die.

So he is in effect saying our immigration program is a natural disaster. He has self indicted both himself and the entire Bidet administration.

Biden-Harris DHS Sec Mayorkas admits FEMA funds won't last through hurricane season after diverting $641 MILLION for 'noncitizen migrants'
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!I have just returned from the North Carolina mountains. The devastation is heart-breaking.
Some people have lost everything--homes, automobiles, clothes, food, water--loved ones dead--everything!
Landslides and floods have destroyed some people's homes and everything they possess--and even buried loved-ones in the rockslides to die there!
People gather in fire stations--when they can--for shelter, food, water, information, and for help searching for missing family members!
Do you mean to tell me that US citizens are deprived of financial help because it is given to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! People who are in the USA ILLEGALLY! Who are therefore CRIMINALS!
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS have been imported by the Democrats to pack the voter rolls with potential pro-Democrat voters!
ANYONE who votes for a Democrat is not only a FOOL but is morally corrupt and has succumbed to the worst of evil.
