trump: “Kamala [Harris] spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants, many of whom should not be in our country,” Trump said at the rally, adding, “Now we have a horrific disaster in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Virginia — that’s how big this hurricane was — and the Harris-Biden administration says they don’t have any money. They’ve spent it all on … illegal migrants.” (remember what always happens when his lips are moving)
Truth: The Federal Emergency Management Agency launched a “rumor response” page on its website Thursday to try to counter what it calls “false” accusations that it has diverted disaster relief funds to house migrants to the U.S.
“This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts,” the agency says on its website. “Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.”
FEMA receives its funding through the Department of Homeland Security, and Congress recently passed a spending bill that gave FEMA $20 billion for disaster relief.
Trump is just confused and lacks basic knowledge on this, and most, subject(s). This is probably why he is confused: In a SEPERATE pot of money, however, FEMA, along with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, have funded communities to help pay for “food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation to noncitizens recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings,” according to a DHS press release.
