Mayorkas says FEMA has no more disaster funds, but IG report says agency is sitting on billions

Helene victims say they feel abandoned by Biden-Harris admin: 'I feel betrayed'
 
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces a new firestorm of criticism for claiming FEMA is out of disaster funds right as the Inspector General for Homeland Security released a report saying FEMA is sitting on at least $8.3 billion in untapped, unspent funds.

On Oct 2, Mayorkas said, "We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what is imminent."
 
This new controversy is surfacing as Hurricane Milton is strengthening into a Cat 4 and massive evacuations are now underway in Florida, which is still struggling from Hurricane Helene, as is much of the Southeast.

They tried to impeach this mook Mayorkas and failed.

 I think he needs to be charged with treason along with Biden and Harris and prosecuted to the fullest extent.

How FEMA got into the illegal immigrant business, and who is covering it up

Both Republicans and Democrats signed off on a budget deal earlier this year that increased funding for FEMA’s immigration programs that are now under scrutiny as the agency faces crisis over weak hurricane response.

In the midst of the last major budget crisis in Washington, Democrats diverted money and the legal authority to put the nation’s disaster relief agency into the business of caring for the millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the border on the Biden-Harris administration’s watch. And now both parties seem to be trying to obfuscate the truth.

White House spokeswoman Karine-Jean Pierre took the lead in trying to suggest it was a "conspiracy theory" to suggest the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was using its resources to aid illegal aliens. Republicans countered with surprise and shock that FEMA had routed $640.9 million in grants to nonprofits aiding immigrants, many of whom have crossed into the U.S. illegally. ...

If it were determined that all the people affected by Hurricane Helene were transsexual, crippled, BIPOC, they'd have trillions ready to spend on them.
They've got the dough. They just can't tell the truth.

Never let a good crisis go to waste ... Hurricane Disaster Relief is a perfect opporunity to obtain more funds to help illegal migrants.

Dems will float a bill that conjoins FEMA Disaster Relief with assistance for illegal immigrants.  They will dare Republicans to vote against Disaster Relief as a poison pill to obtain more funds for illegal immigrants.  That's how Dems roll.
