FEMA money taken for immigration enforcement: What you need to know

The real story:

Quote

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is the agency in charge of helping Americans before, during and after disaster strikes. So when Homeland Security, the department that oversees the agency, notified Congress of its intent to take about $160 million from FEMA’s coffers and use it for immigration enforcement, Democratic lawmakers came out against the move.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., said President Donald Trump’s administration was "shortchanging preparedness" and "endangering America" in favor of furthering the border agenda.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., noted the timing of the decision, saying, "Stealing from appropriated funds is always unacceptable, but to pick the pockets of disaster relief funding in order to fund an appalling, inhumane family incarceration plan is staggering – and to do so on the eve of hurricane season is stunningly reckless."

So the real story is that Donald funded immigration enforcement and  you don't like it.  

So that doesn't change the fact that Harris spent MORE money helping mexicans but refuses to spend more money helping flood victims,.

FURTHER - the democrats knew about this one time funding transfer FIVE YEARS AGO -  and claimed it was so terrible YET DID NOTHING IN 5 YEARS TO ADDRESS IT?!?!?

 MAYBE - that's because at the time when trump took the 160 million fema had a total of TWENTY SEVEN BILLION and their people said that they were funded well and it wasn't a big deal

While $155 million is a lot of money to pull out of any federal agency, FEMA’s disaster relief fund had a balance of nearly $27 billion as of July 31.

So the real story is Kamala is leaving those people without the funds they need at this point,  and that you're a liar.

I love how we have unlimited money to send to Ukraine and Israel but if it for Americans we cry about budgets.

If Kamala Harris wants to prove she can do the job she needs to step up and show us something anything besides a picture of her on the plane pouring over blank pieces of paper. She is the VP right now, she has power right now and if you don't think Americans are taking notice of the lack of leadership she is showing you are sadly mistaken.

As usual, you don’t know what you’re taking about and nobody else knows what you’re saying, but @robosmith has made it clear that you’re calling Donald Trump “vile” and “scandalous.” Nice one.

Well which is it? We can’t keep track of your nonsense.

Your buddy started this thread claiming that allocating ANY disaster relief funding for immigration is “vile.” Now you’re saying it’s a drop in the bucket and it doesn’t matter?

So how about if you and your butt buddy circle jerk and figure out what vile thing has happened and you can wring your hands together about whatever it is?

Just cause FOS LIES told you Zelenskiy is "swindling" does not make it true.

In FACT no one has more incentive to use the MILITARY EQUIPMENT AID given to Ukraine for the war than Zelenskiy

Trump and GOP Make BS Migrant Claim Amid FEMA Hurricane Shortfall

Quote

Republicans want to know just who’s responsible for stripping a continuing resolution of additional funding for FEMA’s coffers. (Hint: They are.)

 

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, and Republicans both in Congress and out are not taking it well.

Seething lawmakers and right-wing commentators latched onto the Department of Homeland Security’s decision last year to award $640 million in FEMA-administered funds to assist state and local governments in dealing with a recent influx of migrants and asylum seekers, blaming the relatively small allocation for the shortfall.

The claims, however, are not true: The $640 million earmarked for migrant humanitarian services during the 2024 fiscal year was approved by Congress for FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program, a wholly separate and unrelated initiative to the agency’s Disaster Relief Program.

Oh you conservative bean counting dimwits are unable to comprehend the difference between redirecting money from a budget and taking it all away.

There is no shortfall as there is no way the entire FEMA budget could or would be spent on one single incident. The usual louts are simply repeating the DonOld's lies an accusations as they are traitors at heart willing to subjugate their country to a rapist lying criminal wannabe dictator.

No, that article says that the money spent on asylum seekers could not be used for disaster relief, because Congress did not appropriate that money for disaster relief. 

Whats' more, DHS, said that they do have enough money for the current hurricane, which has hit eight states, but not for the remainder of the hurricane season, which is expected to deliver additional storms.

Lefties are fine with keeping people without food or water in their own country to redirect it to their little ponzi scheme abroad. Sad

So far this year, the United States has given:

- $24,400,000,000 to Ukraine.
- $11,300,000,000 to Israel.
- $1,950,000,000 to Ethiopia.
- $1,600,000,000 to Jordan.
- $1,400,000,000 to Egypt.
- $1,100,000,000 to Afghanistan.
- $1,100,000,000 to Somalia.
- $1,000,000,000 to Yemen.
- $987,000,000 to Congo.
- $896,000,000 to Syria.
- $9,000 per illegal immigrant that has entered the U.S.

And Americans who have lost everything to Hurricane Helene will be getting $750, courtesy of FEMA.

Pointing out how you're lying through your teeth means I support starving people. This 'lefty' points out how 'wrong' you are thinking that being politically 'right' means you're 'correct' on every issue.

Caught ya!

You got caught lying about disaster relief being misappropriated — it wasn’t — so you pivoted to the war in Ukraine which — lemme see… nope — has nothing to do with disaster relief spending.

We’ve all figured out that you guys have the brains of 2 year olds, so we’ll spell it out: The ONLY money the government can spend on disaster relief is the amount that Congress allocated for disaster relief.  The President isn’t legally allowed to move money from one allocation and into another.  That’s how it works.

You're LYING IF you're trying to CLAIM that is the whole amount of the aid being spent.

Biden-Harris Administration Provides More Than $20 Million to Hurricane Helene Survivors, Ongoing Search and Rescue Operations Continue in North Carolina

Quote

As search and rescue, power restoration and communication capabilities remain top priorities throughout the Southeast, FEMA has already helped thousands of Hurricane Helene survivors jumpstart their recoveries with more than $20 million in flexible, upfront funding.  

AKA, more to come. Duh

It's all one big pot and they seem to have money for everything except for what matters.

1)  you quoted two different people. You appear to be saying you can't keep track of two conversations at one time. That's not a good flex kiddo :) 

2)  Two things can be true. Nothing in his claim is at odds with my post. Harris had spent more on illegals, and is refusing so far to do sow with the disaster.  

I'm sure you can track two things mentally if you try hard and take your mittens off :)

Dipshlt, the CONGRESS passes the budget. The President can’t take money allocated for one thing and spend it on another.  
 

I’m truly sorry that you people are just that dumb. I’m trying to help you learn; but you guys are refusing to learn.  Sad!
