Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has introduced legislation that will redirect funds from a FEMA program for migrants to Hurricane Helene victims, and ban other federal funds for the initiative.

The bill is another Republican effort in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to redirect government funds from immigration efforts to Hurricane Helene relief. The legislation, among other things, would terminate FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program.

“It’s unacceptable for Americans to grapple with the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Helene while the federal government remains fixated on spending hundreds of millions on a program sheltering illegal immigrants instead of helping our own citizens,” Mace said in a statement.

Should not be necessary, but there are about a billion reasons it is.

And if there isn't enough, take it out of their pay, starting at the top, just 10%, repeat as necessary until there is enough.

Do we really need a department of hurt feelings for people who aren't under the fat part of the bell curve department?

My guess is there will be a significant aid package for geographic areas affected by Helene and Milton (if it landfalls in Tampa Bay).  People are still stranded in remote areas of NC, doubtless going without food and water.  This just highlights the absurdity of sending billions we don’t have to the other side of the planet, so people can kill each other in our name.

Another nice gesture that ain't goin' nowhere.
At least, not until next year... maybe... hopefully.
