Here is what happened.
Mayorkas (in the video you posted above) said FEMA would run out of funds mid-August. Congress then funded FEMA which was expected to last through December. Billions more was requested but left out since it was part of the stop gap government spending bill to get us through December.
Given the size of this storm, and severity of damage - those funds will be used very quickly.
The disaster relief fund is adequate for the storm season. Congress will likely need to approve more at some point before the end of the year.
That’s it. Nothing about immigrants, etc… it’s not political. Massive storms causing massive damage are expensive.
