FEMA Is Now Out Of Money Because Biden/Harris Spent Over A Billion Dollars On Migrants!

On October 3, 2024, Jesse Watters @JesseBWatters writes:

"Over 200 Americans are dead after Hurricane Helene and the thousands of victims impacted have been disgracefully left behind. The Biden administration has blocked ongoing rescue operations and North Carolina is living in the dark ages because @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris hate @ElonMusk. @FEMA is now out of money, because Joe Biden and Kamala spent over a billion dollars of FEMA cash on migrants. Illegals got luxury hotel rooms, but Kamala's just tossing Helene victims $750 and heading back on the campaign trail. This must not meet her standard for giving extra resources- she only wants to do that based on equity."

Where's the Money for Hurricane Victims?
You're not going to like the answer.

Hurricane Helene has torn through Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina, leaving a trail of destruction taking over 200 lives. The storm has caused severe flooding, damaged infrastructure, and displaced countless families, all of whom are now in desperate need of food, power, clean water, medical care, and internet.

But Hurricane Helene made landfall on September 27, and communities are still struggling to get access to basic necessities.

So that raises the question, "Where is the money?" And if it's all gone, "Where did it go?"

The answer: There is no money left because the government gave it away to illegal immigrants.

Jesse Watters reports, "In the last two years, the Biden-Harris administration spent a billion dollars of FEMA money on illegal aliens."

"A billion dollars," he emphasized. The taxpayer-funded dollars spent on illegal immigrants include things like Xboxes, free hotel rooms, and culturally-appropriate food.

"When American citizens, the ones who were born here and pay taxes, deserve help, Biden and Harris are saying, 'Ah, sorry, we gave it all away to the people who broke into the country.'"

Adding insult to injury, Watters reported, "Half a million of the migrants here are criminals, rapists, convicted murderers."

"And the Biden-Harris administration gave people like that money before they gave hurricane victims money."

Grok: Did the Biden administration spend any FEMA disaster money on migrants?

Answer: The question of whether the Biden administration spent FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) disaster relief funds on migrants has been a point of contention and misinformation. Here's what the information available up to October 5, 2024, indicates:

• FEMA Funding and Migrant Services: There has been confusion regarding FEMA's funding, particularly around its Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which provides support for migrants. This program is funded separately by Congress, not directly from FEMA's disaster relief funds (the Disaster Relief Fund). In 2023 and 2024, significant amounts were allocated for SSP, managed by FEMA but not derived from its disaster response budget.

• Public Claims and Misinformation: Various public figures, including former President Donald Trump and several Republican lawmakers, have claimed that FEMA money meant for disaster relief was diverted to support migrants, particularly in response to needs after Hurricane Helene. These claims were labeled as false by FEMA itself and the White House. FEMA clarified that its disaster response capabilities were not compromised by funding for migrant services, emphasizing that the money for SSP comes from a different Congressional allocation.

• FEMA's Clarification: FEMA explicitly stated that its disaster response efforts are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is dedicated to disaster efforts only. They addressed the misinformation by explaining that while they manage the distribution of SSP funds, these funds are separate from disaster relief money.

• Public Sentiment on X: There were numerous posts on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting or outright claiming that FEMA funds were misallocated from disaster relief to migrant services. These posts often reflected frustration or political criticism but did not provide accurate context or evidence that directly linked FEMA's disaster relief funds to migrant support.

Conclusion: Based on official statements and clarifications, the Biden administration did not spend FEMA disaster relief funds on migrants. The funding for migrant services, while managed by FEMA, comes from a different Congressional appropriation specifically for that purpose. However, this nuance has been lost or misrepresented in public discourse, leading to widespread but inaccurate claims.

This situation highlights the complexity of federal budget allocations and the ease with which misinformation can spread, particularly in politically charged environments.
