No help for those in North Carolina

[Gallipoli]

The FEMA budget for housing, food and health care has been spent on illegals, but no budget is left for those in North Carolina. Nice priorities for the Harris Administration.

Of all the utter incompetence.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday that there is not enough money available for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to meet the needs of the communities affected by Hurricane Helene.

Use these funds for Americans in need. Stop funding housing for illegals. It sounds like bureaucrats in Washington are making excuses and trying to blame everyone but their misguided priorities.

"The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) provides funding to non-federal agencies to spend on humanitarian services for non-U.S. citizens. For the 2024 fiscal year, which ended on Monday, $640 million was made available.

The FEMA website says this funding is intended to "support CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities." The money can be spent on a range of services, including food, shelter, transportation, acute medical care, clothing and translation services.

The budget for the past year was a significant increase from the 2023 fiscal year, when $363 million was allocated. Together, more than $1 billion has been spent on non-citizen services over the past two years."

The federal government is doing almost nothing for those in North Carolina. This is the testimony of a pilot who jumped in his helicopter and started saving lives. He helped save an 11 day old baby.
He stated there have no FEMA personnel to be found.

Keep drinking the FOX koolaide. Trump's sack-gargler Hanity was actually upset the dockworkers strike ended.

Opinion | North Carolinians need help. Trump is feeding them lies.

You would think the partisan hacks would give it a rest while people are dead, dying, or missing.

If Trump accuses someone of doing something illegal or just morally wrong, its almost a lock that he has already done or eventually will do the exact same thing.

Trump projects more than any person I have seen.

FEMA spending is controlled by the House of Representatives. Who runs the House? Why is it in recess? Why hasn't the speaker called it back into session to pass an emergency spending bill? Why do the Republicans hate America?

Here are statements made by the Biden Administration in 2022 clearly stating they are allocating funds from FEMA to help illegals. In 2024, Harris-Biden is denying this occurred.

Galli- just curious. What's your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid?

The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA’s disaster-related authorities or funding streams.”
Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post did not leave the story there. “Trump has a habit of assuming other politicians act in the same way as he would,” Kessler wrote. So he looked into why Trump would have accused Biden “of raiding the FEMA disaster fund to handle undocumented migrants. It turns out that’s because he did this.”
In the middle of hurricane season in 2019, Kessler explains, Trump took $155 million from the FEMA disaster fund and redirected it to pay for detention space and temporary hearing locations for immigrants seeking asylum. “No, Biden didn’t take FEMA relief money to use on migrants,” the article title reads, “but Trump did.”

FEMA has been forced to respond to the numerous lies spread by Trump, Musk, Sinclair broadcasting, other right-wing crazies, etc. Just disgusting. But exactly what you'd expect from people who hate America.
