Are North Carolinians realizing that the Biden-Harris administration cares way more about foreigners than you? Do all the Democrats in Watauga County (where Boone is) and Buncombe County (where Asheville is) who constantly vote Democrat realize that the Elite Democrats couldn’t care less about Americans? How about all the Dem voters (about 30% are) scattered throughout western NC? Or the ones in the rest of NC who know people who lost everything and are being offered $750? Or know someone who was injured, missing, or killed? Or just know and love the area?
Feds say there’s no money left to respond to hurricanes — after FEMA spent $1.4B on migrants
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.
“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”
Critics pointed out that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allocated $640.9 million this year in FEMA-administered funds to aid state and local governments coping with the influx of asylum seekers — though Mayorkas’ office fired back late Thursday, insisting that those funds couldn’t be used for hurricane relief because Congress authorized them specifically for the migrant crisis.
“This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first,” Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Wednesday in response to the DHS chief.
How about we take all those billions of dollars for building EV chargers (only 8 built) and rural internet (no one connected) and use it for the affected Americans? It may not fully help in rebuilding, but, it would damned sure help aid them now and for months to come. We give illegals/migrants $4000 a month and free room and board, but, Americans get $750. Once. They’re getting Maui’d.

There are way too many reports of things like this, as well relief and rescue vehicles and helicopters being stopped. Why is FEMA doing this? They are there for coordination, not law enforcement.
What might be a conspiracy theory, my own, is that Biden is doing this to sabotage Kamala after he was booted out of the race.
It’s a big fat lie of course, but what’s new. Mr Teach and other Trump sycophants have demonstrated repeatedly that they will repeat every word uttered by their. Teach is even circulating the proven Trump lie that FEMA is confiscating donated materials.
The Republican House could allocate more funds but Trump won’t let them, as dead Americans may help keep him out of jail. Despicable man.
Just more Teach support for the Trumpster fire. Mr Teach is posting more and more provably false Trump disinformation.
“But Trump wont let them”. BS. Trump, nor any president, has any power to make the House do anything
True. The Speaker does not have to listen to the ex-president and current candidate. But if he wants to stay as Speaker he will.
For example, see Senator Lankford’s immigration bill.
Face it, Rimjob. 16 million illegals are more important to Biden/Harris than several thousand red state American citizens in Appalachia facing catastrophe.
Biden is incapable of formulating any plot to torpedo Kamala. Hell, when he was asked about help for the storm zone, he wasn’t sure which storm was being asked about and then said of the victims, “They’re very happy.”
No, this blocking of aid has to do with the money and kickbacks that infest FEMA’s “approved vendor” system.
Looks like Christians and good Ole boys already providing relief for those affected by Helene.
FEMA still setting up a plan.
