Republican New York Rep. Marc Molinaro pressed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell Tuesday about prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens in the agency’s disaster response efforts.
FEMA lacked adequate funds in its response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton after disbursing roughly $1 billion over the past two fiscal years to help cities, counties and states grapple with the migrant crisis as part of its Shelter and Services Program, records show. Molinaro, during a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing, attempted to get Criswell to acknowledge the “absurdity” of these funding decisions, but she resisted.

“Do you see the absurdity that American citizens are getting their $750 and then yes, struggling through a very complicated process to meet the thresholds necessary to get the aid they need to have housing, food and shelter while your agency is contracting with not for profits to easily hand out access to those who are placed here illegally?” Molinaro asked. “Do you see the absurdity?”
