No, Biden Didn't Take FEMA Relief Money To Spend On Migrants - But Trump Did

[Fang]

Former President Donald Trump's campaign doubled down Friday on claims that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had run out of money to help those hit by Hurricane Helene because of the Biden administration's spending on services for migrants.

The concerns about FEMA's cash flow came after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on Wednesday that the agency would struggle for funding for the rest of the hurricane season.

Republicans, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, then claimed that over $640 million had been spent by FEMA on migrants when it could have been used to plug the funding gap.

Stephen Miller, a Trump surrogate and the mastermind behind his immigration policy, said on Fox News that FEMA spending money on migrants is "the gravest betrayal this country has ever seen." Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce also reiterated the claims in a social media post.

Further claims were made that FEMA was actively taking supplies and donations from volunteers and other organizations trying to help.

Fact Check: Did Biden-Harris migrant spending drain FEMA hurricane budget?

Republicans have said the agency ran out of money because of a $650 million program to help newly-released migrants in communities across the U.S.

Trump has a habit of assuming other politicians act in the same way as he would. So we wondered why he would accuse Biden of raiding the FEMA disaster fund to handle undocumented migrants.

It turns out that's because he did this. In 2019, the Trump administration, in the middle of hurricane season, told Congress that it was taking $271 million from DHS programs, including $155 million from the disaster fund, to pay for immigration detention space and temporary hearing locations for asylum seekers who had been forced to wait in Mexico. "The U.S. is facing a security and humanitarian crisis on the Southern border," the administration said in its notice that it was redirecting the funds.

The monthly reports issued by the FEMA disaster fund show $38 million was plucked and given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in August that year — just before the prime storm period of September and October.

The Trump campaign did not respond to questions about Trump's actions in 2019.

So Trump redirected FEMA funds he has no authority to do?

Well, doesn't matter. The SCOTUS has given him immunity.

You hear that Joe. Kamala. You now have immunity to violate Constitutional norms and redirect funds allocated by Congress. Lets all think of the many things near, and dear to Republicans that we could divert funds away from.

GEE, thanks SCOTUS.

LOL Who was President the last 4 years? How do you Democrats just tell bold-face lies day in and day out? Stunning.

Yes the MAGACLOWNS lie to your face every day. Say, that's a nice Whopper you have there. FEMA spend the billion dollars Congress appropriated for the Shelter Program to cities to provide for the homeless and migrants. Not a dime of the Disaster Relief Fund was reallocated. All 19 billion was spent or allocated to disaster relief. The press sec. didn't lie either in 2024 or in 2022.

So, you acknowledge it was mismanaged? Or were they just banking on there not being any emergencies for the last 3 months of the year?

Audit FEMA.

Who controls the Budget? Who allocated a billion dollars for aid to the cities over the passed two years Why do the MAGACLOWNS continue to parrot the lie and say that the Biden Administration reallocated disaster relief funds to spend that billion dollar (over two years).

So, you acknowledge it was mismanaged? Or were they just banking on there not being any emergencies for the last 3 months of the year?

Audit FEMA.

Not at all. The GAO has an accounting of how the fund have been spent. The Sec. has been telling Congress of the coming shortfall since at least June.

Just pretend it’s Trump’s fault that there is no money to help the people in need. Watch how triggered you will get.

From you link:

EMA distributes money to migrants​

The $650 million cited by Republicans refers to the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which had a budget of that amount for Fiscal Year 2024, which ended on September 30.

SSP allocates funds to migrant support groups, nonprofits, and state and local governments to distribute to those in need of shelter, food or medical care.

They won't believe you even though I posted this yesterday in another thread from another news source. The dumb fucks won't bother to look it up for that year because they have been habitual liars all their lives. It's sad they have made a life of lying to get what they want. You know what they say, what goes around comes around and they will pay one day for their lies.

Try to keep up or just stay home.

Ur a funny person. You think that because there is a list of all the charities that were awarded grants in various cities, that somehow proves that funds were diverted from the Disaster Relief fund and not allocated by Congress.

Who said anything about “reallocating” or “diverting”? Not me. Fact remains FEMA spent millions on illegals then turned around and told Americans they didn’t have money to help them.

“For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will provide $640.9 million of available funds to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities.”


“A Department of Homeland Security inspector general’s report from August reveals more than $7 billion remain in emergency funding that could be used for natural disasters — even though DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last week none was available after Hurricane Helene.

Mayorkas, 64, told reporters following the devastation of Helene in North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to endure more hurricanes this fall.”

Contrary to known reality.

Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.

Fact:​

FEMA has enough money right now for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs.

Of course the big lie is that funds dedicated to the Disaster Relief were reallocated to the shelter program and that why the Sec has been calling on Congress for more disaster fund since June. The lie was started by Americas biggest liar of course so the flock has to either agree with lie or try and divert from the lie.
