Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

This utterly contemptible regime is now prioritizing illegal alien migrants who have no lrgitimate business here at all, over absolutely essential disaster relief. Indeed, the primary target of the hurricane having been Western North Carolina, there are vast military resources available in North Carolina at places like the former Fort Bragg. If this administration were not out to injure and kill as many law-abiding patriotic Americans as it can possibly figure out a way to do, it would've activated those terrific military resources in time to be ready for the hurricane.

Well...we found out which fund they stole from. My guess is that....it is more likely than not...illegal to transfer any funds to finance the millions of illegals for any reason.

Here’s an idea. Beginning today every single program is cut 20% and all foreign aid is eliminated 100%. All that money is dedicated toward recovery and rebuilding the infrastructure.

Yeah, but to them it’s money well spent because they have an election to rig.

Mayorkas needs to be keel-hauled, drawn and quartered and then hung until dead.

After a trial, of course.

He’s a domestic terrorist.

Given the mistrust and lack of confidence, is it possible that any future emergencies Congress send the money directly to the state or people who need it eliminating the middle man (FEMA)?

The government should ask for excessively paid funds to be paid back

Tells us everything we needed to know, as if we didn’t ALREADY KNOW, about what this administration thinks of American people.

Agency Spent over a Billion on Migrants

Illegal alients. The agency spent over. billion on illegal aliens. People who came here legally got nothing. We neglect Americans facing disaster, ignore those who come here legally, and reward criminals.

We have an election in 30 days. I assume Western NC is Trump country. Is this part of the plan to suppress votes for him?

But I have been impressed by how the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill has been screaming about this theft of resources and the needless deaths, hunger, thirst and disease in western North Carolina. Striking how Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Speaker Johnson, John Thune can’t shut up about it. In reality, have we heard a WORD from them?? Yet when the next 200 billion in aid for Ukraine is delayed for a day, they commandeer the first microphone to bawl about it and their clothes are rent into tatters.

Earlier generations of Americans would have burned the capital city and everyone in it to the ground by now. We’re cowards.

Every time I see a video from NC or TN with people saying they have seen no evidence of FEMA or any federal agencies, my blood just boils. Every video of someone who has been rescued, shows them thanking private individuals or groups that have launched their own rescue missions.

Groups are making their own roads through forested areas with their own tractors and scrape blades to help people make it to an area with food and water. This is stuff our military should be doing with the large equipment our tax-dollars fund.

Even Terrence Williams, the cute little podcaster with his own pancake mix, has traveled to NC and is cooking pancakes on a grill to provide food for first responders and displaced residents. The people eating were so appreciative!
