Mayorkas Says FEMA Doesn’t Have Funds to Last Through Hurricane Season
Not only are billions going to Ukraine, but $640 million in DHS money went to indirectly supporting illegal aliens.
In a staggering admission that is sending shockwaves through social media, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro N. Mayorkas admitted that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have enough funding to last through the remainder of the 2024 hurricane season.
The announcement comes as FEMA is conducting search-and rescue-operations in remote sections of Appalachia six days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and moved north, causing widespread destruction and the deaths of at least 183 people across six states. President Biden has in recent days approved major-disaster declarations for the states affected by the storm.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mr. Mayorkas told reporters on Wednesday while en route to meet with officials in South Carolina. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting — we do not have the funds, FEMA does not have the funds, to make it through the season.”
The proposal to grant the agency more money may work, but it will require members of Congress to return to Washington, D.C., and provide the necessary legislative approval.
Congress recently replenished a key source of FEMA’s response efforts, providing $20 billion for the agency’s disaster relief fund as part of a short-term government spending bill to fund the government through Dec. 20. The bill also gave FEMA flexibility to draw on the money more quickly as needed.
Both chambers of Congress are scheduled, however, to be in their home states and districts until after the election, as lawmakers focus on campaigning.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., gave no hint he was considering changing that schedule during a speech Tuesday. He said that Congress just provided FEMA with the funds it needs to respond and that lawmakers would make sure those resources are appropriately allocated.
A bipartisan group of Senators from affected states wrote their leadership this week saying it’s clear Congress must act to meet constituents’ needs. They said that may even require Congress to come back in October, ahead of the election.
Meanwhile, Americans are unhappy with congressional and administrative budget priorities in social media.
For example, our citizens could now benefit from the billions spent on Ukraine.
🚨 WTF??! The Biden Harris regime is now saying FEMA does NOT have enough funds to make it through Hurricane season.
RIGHT AFTER giving BILLIONS more to Ukraine.

And many are noting the monies that have gone to illegal immigrants and their resettlement into this country.
/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —
Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

In fact, in March of this year, the DHS, through FEMA and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced a hefty sum for communities dealing with migrants. The department allocated $300 million in direct funding plus an additional $340.9 million through a competitive grant process through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP).
The SSP is designed to aid state, local, and tribal governments and non-profit organizations that suddenly have an influx of migrants. These funds help cover the costs of shelter, food, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation. One might consider the program a federally funded Airbnb for illegal aliens.
Therefore, it indirectly supports those illegal aliens, but all those monies could now be going to beef up a potential response to another severe storm.
Of course, the news broke today…after the final debate of the 2024 election cycle. However, the Biden-Harris administration are now dealing with a significant October surprise.

One final note: Some progressives may be laughing at the plight of the red regions of the Southeastern US.
Liberal celebrates people dying and laughs at thousands whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Helene, claiming they were ‘racist.’

However, disasters can strike as easily in blue ones. For example, a major earthquake off the Cascadia subduction zone will require massive recovery efforts…that we also can’t now afford.
Many Western Washington residents live in fear of the natural disaster to end all natural disasters: the “Big One.”
Scientists say that the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of the Pacific Northwest has the potential to spark a magnitude-9.0+ earthquake, plus a subsequent tsunami. That scenario last occurred here in the year 1700.
Inquiring minds want to know: When will it happen again?
This destructive set of priorities has the potential to hurt all Americans.

You cannot hate these people enough. Everyone, we’re on our own. (We’ve always known that, of course.)
Why hasn’t that asshole been impeached and removed?
Never mind. I already know the answer.
That cute lil TikTok ho might benefit from an introduction to karma.
Billions for Ukraine and certainly even more for illegals. We’ve allowed in more than 12M illegals to enter the country. I can promise you that each and everyone one of them has already collected WAY more than $83, which would be a cool $1B. Even Newsweek admits that each illegal alien is costing the US federal government $8,776 each year. When you factor in the additional crime, unrecovered healthcare costs absorbed by the state and medical industry and the depression of income taxes collected from the downward pressure on wages, the number is certainly WAY more than$8,700.

How much has this shithead spent on illegal aliens?
BTW, I got power restored yesterday afternoon. I live in SE Georgia. I have a mountain cottage on the side of a mountain in wester NC. I found out it looks OK from the outside but only one road is open in and out of the valley which is 3 feet under water at the bottom.
Sounds like a confession…
The federal bureaucracy is gonna need to be drastically downsized and its priorities reset to core functions. Homeland Security has proven itself to be an incompetent abomination. Gut it.
I pray that Trump wins the election and has a formal Mayorkas Firing Ceremony.
Maybe a Firing Squad Ceremony … he is just hateful towards Americans …

If a multibillion $ federal agency is out of money less than 4 months into their fiscal year, something is terribly wrong. I don’t believe that an audit will be enough to find out what went wrong.

Mayorkas Announces That FEMA is Out of Money; Just Maybe the Billion of FEMA Funds Harris-Biden Has Spent on Illegal Aliens Might Be Why

That billion was well-spent, importing and courting illegal non-citizen voters.
So what if some Americans died?
FEMA runs out of money as Trump Jr. blasts admin for diverting $1 billion to illegal immigrants
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has warned that FEMA “does not have the funds to make it through [hurricane] season” as it continues to respond to natural disasters. Donald Trump Jr. blasted the Biden administration in response, criticizing it for diverting nearly $1 billion in FEMA funds to shelter illegal immigrants, arguing the money should have been allocated for disaster relief efforts.
Key Details:
Mayorkas, during a press briefing on Wednesday, stated that FEMA “does not have the funds to make it through the season” as the agency grapples with ongoing disaster recovery from Hurricane Helene.
Trump Jr. accused the Biden administration of depleting FEMA’s emergency response funds by funneling nearly $1 billion into the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which supports illegal immigrants.
Critics, including Trump Jr., argue that the diverted funds could have been better used for disaster relief, particularly as FEMA faces a shortfall during an intense hurricane season.
How about they stop giving illegal aliens any sort of assistance at all. They’ll deport themselves.
“Get a rope.”

Add yet another impeachable act and criminal offense to the mountainous pile of others committed by Traitor Joe, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the rest of the treasonous junta.
Criminal negligence. Don’t hold your breath for grand jury hearings or charges to be filed.
The pain and destruction the Biden/Harris admin has and will cause our country is inestimable. The present and future crime from the open border will cost so much to all areas of our country and the costs will be horrendous. The money wasted on this illegal action is now showing up in the lack of aid to our people. What other government institutions have been robbed to support this mass importation of unwanted migrants? Maybe this horrible tragedy in NC along with the terrible strike will open some Democrat’s eyes and let them see what is ahead if Harris is elected.
Well…Asheville…your deep blueness hasn’t helped you one bit. Parachute in 5000 Hattians and maybe that will help.
Sorry, Alejandro, we just sent our last 40 billion to Ukraine. Maybe you should reallocate funds from illegal aliens to citizens caught in hurricanes.
Ukraine this and immigrant that… nothing left. Well for Moscow on the Potomac what is happening in the South is an echo of 1932 Ukraine…. oh $750 for them…. what… to help cover burial costs?
These are not the actions of a ruling government that considers much of the country to be their countrymen.
Subotai Bahadur
Biden’s been doing this for years and the republicans knew but couldn’t stop him.
The House supposedly has the purse strings but maybe they don’t know that, or they forgot it, because whatever the administration wants to spend, it seems the house delivers all the funds necessary.
It is clear that the Biden-Harris Admin has not used the agencies properly as designed. FEMA was designed as a domestic disaster agency but it is not using it’s funds for the citizens in disasters, but spending money for illegals and foreign countries. This makes it clear FEMA should be removed as an agency, all employees removed. and all money given to delete the US debt.
It was at that point that I realized, this is ALL ABOUT MONEY.
These ‘preferred vendors” are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal govt for each disaster. In turn, some of the “vendors” make it on the list because a friend gets them on the list, and in return for getting ridiculously outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, they give kickbacks.
So accepting outside donations, even though they are on location and can help people NOW, they would rather let people suffer so they can get their kickbacks.

Don’t give them another cent!!! More will reach the victim outside of government sources.
They’re liable to turn around and give the bulk of the further funding to illegals…
