FEMA Is Out of Money After Helene. Spends it all on illegals
[PJMedia] Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season." One reason for that is that under Biden-Harris, FEMA spent $650 million this fiscal year providing services and housing to illegal aliens. And $364 million the year before that.

If you thought the Federal Emergency Management Agency was just in the business of providing relief to Americans of all creeds and colors when disaster strikes, let's just say that the Biden-Harris administration has broadened the agency's portfolio to include non-emergency aid to folks who aren't even supposed to be here.

Did I really put "you'll never guess where it went" in the headline? I should have given you more credit because I'm sure you totally guessed that one.

#9 I came across the question:
"If the fiscal year begins October 1st, how is the account already depleted?"

Thoughts?

#11 Agreed.

So that money is just earmarked, not necessarily spent, unless it was electronically transferred at the turn of the clock, right?

But that turn of the clock happened after landfall.

So I have questions:
Like, what was that budget allocation which necessitated an immediate electronic transfer?

Where is the slush fund for such a weather event, including, oh I don't know, a winter storm? Spring Tornado Season 'in our direst Climate Change Emergency?'

Entire year's budget blown in 3 days?

Who are these people nominally placed in charge?

#12 If they overspent in the last fiscal, it would come out of this fiscal year’s budget, right?
