CITATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website. https://www.fema.gov/grants/shelter-services-program Shelter and Services Program The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is administered by the FEMA in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.
As already outlined this is Department of Homeland Security (DHS) money and the program is administered by FEMA. This is because FEMA is responsible in the U.S. for coordinating emergency aid and temporary housing with state and local governments -- and administered these type of grants. FEMA is the agency best equipped to do so because they have all the infrastructure and experience in place for administering these programs. Get back to me when you find any evidence that FEMA is directly handing out FEMA grant or loan money directly to illegal immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season. I doubt any illegals got cash laid in their hands, but money was spent providing services for illegals. That money should be coming from somewhere else as we now see financial issues as a result of robbing Peter to pay for Pedro. If there's a specific amount of money designated for illegal immigrant services, when that money dries up the border should be locked down tight, simple as that.

Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas did NOT say that FEMA did not have insufficient funds for hurricane season due to FEMA being the administrator of over one billion dollars for services for illegal immigrants. Your source, the National Review, is making this assertion. FEMA does not have funds for hurricanes because Republicans in Congress rejected voting to fund FEMA with sufficient funds to cover the hurricane season.
FEMA doesn't have enough money because congress, all of them, can't balance a fucking budget and have too many pet programs they funnel money to. We also send way too much money overseas to fiancé wars. Domestic programs for assistance to American citizens should be a priority and get the lion's share of the money. Everyone else can wait, or pound sand.
Anything that helps American black or white people, the Zionist Jews and Talmud worshippers in Israel and Ukraine will be against.
https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_bbd61660-8198-11ef-a7d6-bfcf7006c777.html Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday that FEMA does not have enough funding to last the rest of the year even as it has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on migrants under the Biden administration and more hurricanes could be on the way. DHS oversees FEMA, putting Mayorkas in charge of the emergency relief agency which has recently been focused on helping migrants settle in the U.S. “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas told reporters. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” In April of this year, FEMA announced $640 million in new funding, $300 million for “direct funding” to help immigrants settle in the U.S. while the other $340 million went to cities via grants for the same purpose.
The facts are that the Republicans in Congress refused to pass disaster funding for FEMA. Hurricane Helene renews calls for Congress to pass disaster funding https://thehill.com/business/budget/4910588-hurricane-helene-congress-disaster-funding/
