[Federalist] "FEMA needs Mo Money for Hurrican Helene relief!"The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the "Shelter and Services Program" "to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)," according to the government’s website.
The program is run in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) "to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities," FEMA’s website reads.
An anonymous X account highlighted the program after MSNBC pundit Michael Steele sought to portray former President Donald Trump as the commander-in-chief who denied Americans full relief from catastrophic weather events.
Hi Michael, Biden has been using FEMA funds to house illegal immigrants all over the country his entire Presidency.
