Rep. Garret Graves Grills FEMA Chief Over Illegal Migrants Receiving More Immediate Aid Than U.S. Citizens After Natural Disasters

"How would I explain to a taxpayer that a citizen of the United States is eligible for $750, yet a citizen of a foreign country under your agency is still eligible for assistance of $10,000 ... The disparity that exists in that a citizen of a foreign country that broke the law and came here illegally can get a plane ticket paid for, they can get a hotel room paid for, ... healthcare, food, clothing. We have citizens of our own country that I engaged in North Carolina weeks and weeks after the disaster that have some of those same needs. This is ridiculous." https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1858946626317889974
