WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.
“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”
Critics pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allocated $640.9 million this year in FEMA-administered funds to aid state and local governments coping with the influx of asylum seekers — though Mayorkas’ office fired back late Thursday, insisting that those funds couldn’t be used for hurricane relief because Congress authorized them specifically for the migrant crisis.
“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,” Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Wednesday in response to the DHS chief.
“Yeah!” agreed Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
Anyone voting Democrat in 2024 is voting against the United States of America to remain a Constitutional Republic. California will get the worst of it should Democrats cheat and install Harris & Walz since we are years ahead of most of the country on the road to communism.
VOTE REPUBLICAN!
Voting Republican is the only way to save the United States from morphing into a Marxist country. California is ahead of the other states since we have been run like a communist society since Democrats took the super majority. But there are still many other states that can be saved.
VOTE REPUBLICAN!
Migrant crisis? How about “organized illegal invaders”.This diabolical plan is all part of taking America down and preparing it for Agenda 2030.”
Regardless if the idiots are voted out of office there should be criminal charges for this massive screwup.
And the lies continue – insisting that it’s not true that FEMA funds were used for migrants. When there’s plenty of proof and the evidence is from the WH Press Secretary herself in 2022! Gaslighting is the rule for Harris and the liberals who gleefully celebrate Hurricane Helene and the newest one to hit Florida by Wednesday or Thursday, because all the poor people will be out of their homes and destitute and unable to get to the polls to vote, while the elites and the rich can stuff ballots for the Dems. I sincerely hope that something will be done to enable those who are now homeless to vote in those States, and, that they care enough about this crucial election to get and post a ballot. I agree with Elon Musk, if the conservatives do not win this election, we will never win any future one, and we will be a country owned by China’s CCP by perhaps as soon s 2028.
