Many have pointed out that the Homeland Security Department has allocated $640 million in FEMA funds to aid state and local governments burdened with the influx of migrants under the Biden-Harris administration.
“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,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said on Wednesday.
The New York Post wrote:
Abbott is a top critic of Mayorkas’ mass parole of asylum seekers into the US after President Biden repudiated former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy — with the governor busing migrants to Democrat-led jurisdictions such as New York City, forcing local budget cuts to house them.
DHS allocated $780 million for the migrant crisis last year through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program and the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program.
Reports suggest that only $10 million from FEMA has been allocated to grant storm victims $750 for groceries.
“FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. U.S. citizens are dying. Pray for our country folks,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) wrote.
