Fema funds were not spent on migrants. You are being lied to again.
What mayorkas said is:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave a news conference and said that while the agency had sufficient funds to deal with recovery efforts for victims of Hurricane Helene, it could run out of money if another major hurricane hit the U.S. this year.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
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.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 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.”
