Mayorkas Says No Funds for Hurricane Cleanup after Agency Spent over a Billion on Illegal Migrants

Mayorkas said he has no money for the victims of the catastrophic Hurricane Helen,  “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Mayorkas FEMA spent over $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars on providing housing and services to illegal aliens.

Rep Tim Burchett: “We see what this admin does best. They steal from the taxpayer and give to those not worthy of it—who are not American citizens. We send almost $200B to Ukraine, paying people’s mortgages and retirement funds and now Mayorkas says we’ll be out of money during this hurricane season. I’m sure global warming will now become a campaign tactic. If DJT was in the WH, he’d be on the phone to the Longshoremen talking tough, not like a Sunday School teacher and get this thing worked out.”

USA Today: The death toll reached 200 as the need for power and water grew more urgent Thursday for hundreds of thousands of residents across the Southeast a week after Hurricane Helene began a deadly, devastating march across the region. Almost 1 million homes and businesses remained without power in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

Mayorkas Warns FEMA Lacks Funding for Hurricane Cleanup after Agency Spent over a Billion on Migrants

By Caroline Downey, The National Review, October 3, 2024 12:19 PM

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas told reporters. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Hurricane Helene has ravaged the west coast of Florida and several states in the Southeast, flooding towns, destroying properties, and killing over 160 people. Florida’s Gulf Coast experienced record-breaking storm surge in some areas, with a wall of water many feet above the normal high tide line crashing onto the land. The Blue Ridge Mountains suffered major devastation, with at least 57 people dead in and around Asheville, North Carolina.

Congress recently provided $20 billion for FEMA’s disaster-relief fund as part of a short-term government spending bill to fund the government through mid-December.

The federal government is sending additional aid to North Carolina for its recovery effort, President Biden said in an emergency-operations briefing with Governor Roy Cooper on Wednesday. Biden said he has granted the state’s request for a 100 percent federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures for six months.

“This will pay for the urgent work you need to clear landslides, to provide shelter, and to provide food and medicine,” Biden said.

More than 150,000 households have registered for FEMA aid and that number is expected to spike as the scale of the hurricane fallout is realized, Frank Matranga, an agency representative, told the Tampa Bay Times.

Biden and Kamala Harris, and FEMA as an extension of their administration, have been accused of not prioritizing the crisis, with many in west North Carolina still without water, food, or cell service. FEMA has stretched itself under the Biden administration to accommodate the needs of illegal aliens.
