FEMA out of money????? If I'm not mistaken, $$'s allocated to FEMA are for a specific purpose .. to be available to help US citizens during crises like hurricanes and the like...... NOT for resettling illegal immigrants. Someone needs to go to jail. Two months ago Mayorkas was bragging about how FEMA is ready for the hurricane season. This is a major fail for FEMA not to be poised and ready for a bad hurricane. Cannot people see the outright neglect and unconcern for those Americans suffering. What a joke.... this Biden /Harris shi! show is.

No, obviously not true. You just fell for some political talking point nonsense.
FEMA has a budget. DHS has a separate budget and they directed FEMA to process shelter payments which are not a part of the FEMA budget.
If you’re all for increasing the FEMA budget to help deal with more frequent and stronger storms, by all means… please contact those who vote against increasing the budget.
Sorry... You make it sound so normal and OK that DHS used money targeted for disaster relief for something else. That's not a political talking point..... that's misuse of funds. Tell the people of Ashville, NC that it's a political talking point. FEMA did absolutely no preparation for Helene. DHS should not have used FEMA's budget for any other purpose. Why did Mayorkas come out and sound like a complete moron saying they have no money for Helene and any future disaster. BS
They didn’t.
They didn’t.
He said they do have enough money for Helene, but need more for the rest of the hurricane season.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
You’re getting all of this wrong. Reassess your news sources. They’re letting to you to make you angry.
It’s not either or. Something is either worth funding or it’s not. Money needs to be appropriated by congress. FEMA needs more.
No need to make this about immigrants or Ukraine. It has zero to do with anything else but FEMA needing enough funds to get through increasingly severe storms.
GOP types such as state senators from NC and maga man Kane in Knox county TN have debunked insane craziness passing on social media
Look an unfortunate natural disaster except if you are mtg took place, 1000 year event....sandy happened...i drive gsp north the tuesday after, i went to near shore communities the day after and I watched GOP types not care about the northeast corridor.
To fix this cost money, and multiple trucks of it.

Not getting it wrong. Maybe YOU need to do some reassessment. You just denied that Fema money was misused when actually said that in your original post.
Again…. FEMA did NOT use FEMA money to pay for the DHS programs. The DHS used FEMA to process DHS funds. It’s like getting a refund from Samsung in the form of a check from Citibank. Citibank isn't giving you money, Samsung is. Get it?
The DHS and FEMA have both confirmed what I am saying here.
You are just buying political spin from politicians using a natural disaster for political points.
dude just get past phase 1 of denial and admit to yourself you've been gargling down fake news slop for the past 8 years. time to take the red pill and be a human again.
1. Mayorkas said in July..... that FEMA was ready for the Hurricane season....
2. Why was it necessary for as you say that DHS used FEMA to process DHS funds? After listening to Mayorkas above and witnessing the lack of preparation for Helene and Mayorkas record with respect to the border, you still believe DHS?
3. Why did FEMA run out of money for future hurricanes? see 1 above.
4. You are ignoring inconvenient truths when acting the apologist here.
5. I have a lot of respect for FEMA.... they were Johnny on the Spot for Hurricane Ida, I was personally severely impacted and they performed well in my area. But for some unknown (???) reason, they are broke and severely lacking at the moment. WHY???
Can’t believe you’re still going.
1. Yes. FEMA has enough funding for now.
This was a massive storm with emergency declarations in many states at once. That’s going to use a lot of resources. As head of the agency, he wants to ensure they maintain a healthy level of funding to meet any other immediate needs from additional storms and long term needs.
2. Because FEMA is set up to work on emergency programs. The shelter and services program was created for customs and border patrol to transfer funding to FEMA to assist customs and border patrol. By the way, republicans have sought to eliminate that funding entirely. It was not disaster relief funding. It was money to CBP which they could allocate to FEMA.
3. They didn’t.
4. I haven’t ignored anything. Everything you have said here is wrong, and I’ve tried to explain why. I find people who play politics around natural disasters to be particularly gross. The people lying to you are despicable and it’s sad you believe it all without looking any of it up.
5. Helene was one of the biggest storms to ever hit the region. There are emergency declarations in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and West Virginia. FEMA is not broke. This was just a huge storm that caused a ton of damage in a large land area. They need time to get through it.
