    Congress determines how much money goes to FEMA?s disaster >>>>>>>>>>>>> fund, and the
    fund faces issues after lawmakers declined to allocate >>>>>>>>>>>>> additional
    funding for FEMA?s efforts in the stopgap funding bill it >>>>>>>>>>>>> passed last
    month, only extending FEMA?s existing funding level and >>>>>>>>>>>>> allowing it to
    draw from $20 billion in funds more quickly.'

    That line in there: "declined to allocate"?

    That was a link to this:

    'A pair of destructive hurricanes along the Gulf Coast, an >>>>>>>>>>>>> explosion of
    wildfires across the West and urgent pleas from Democrats and >>>>>>>>>>>>> the White
    House this month were not enough to persuade Congress to >>>>>>>>>>>>> secure new
    funding for disaster victims.'

    <https://www.eenews.net/articles/lawmakers-stunned-as-disaster-funds-left-out-of-stopgap-bill-2/>

    So, bottom line:

    FEMA has a budget provided by congress and has not used any >>>>>>>>>>>>> money meant
    for disaster relief on immigrants of any kind.


    We've had worse hurricanes seasons in the past yet never ran >>>>>>>>>>>> out of
    money. Either establish that the budget has been cut or tell >>>>>>>>>>>> us where
    the money went.

    Oh and don't believe a damn thing FEMA says.

    The money was already there.
    The democrats raided it to pay for illegal migrant freebies. >>>>>>>>>>
    FFS. The Forbes article debunked that lie.

    Immaterial.
    FEMA is running out of money due to supporting illegal migrants. >>>>>>>>
    Repeating the lie doesn't make it the truth. FEMA is running out of >>>>>>>> money for disaster relief, but not because money was used for
    unauthorized migrants.

    SFW. That money was not stolen from monies reserved for disaster
    relief.

    Look up the word fungible.

    Nonsense. If $100 billion were allocated for disaster relief one year
    and $0 for
    migrant/refugee resettlement, and the following year there again is
    $100 billion
    for disaster relief and an additional $10 billion for migrant/refugee
    resettlement, fungibility absolutely does not apply.

    The fence jumpers are still getting more than our own people.
    That's a lie and you know it.
    Fence jumpers are getting free rent, free food, free cell phones, free internet, free transportation, free clothes, free condoms, free drugs,
    free legal representation, free education, free job priority, free
    furniture, free plane rides, free health care, free dental.

    If it's free for them, why not Americans?

    BOOM!
