Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is nearly broke and can’t make it through the rest of the year. Meanwhile, it has spend hundreds of millions on illegal immigrants during the Biden-Harris Administration.
Mayorkas, who faced impeachment earlier this year for his mismanagement of the southern border with Mexico, has been focused on settling illegal immigrants into states seen as key to the election of Democrats this year.
Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska voted against Mayorkas’ impeachment, although it passed the House by one vote. It failed in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The chickens are coming home to roost for Mayorkas, who said Wednesday, “We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”
In other words, FEMA isn’t going to be able to help the millions who have suffered from Hurricane Helene.
Since Biden took office and appointed Mayorkas, more than 8.5 million illegal crossings have occurred at the southern border.
In April, FEMA announced $300 million in direct funding to help illegal immigrants settle in the U.S. and another $340 million went to cities via grants to be used to shelter illegal immigrants.
The federal government is now offering $750 to families who had their houses destroyed by Helene. FEMA plans to spend just $10 million to help these families, but Mayorkas said with more hurricanes on the way, he’s out of money to help.
“As Joe Biden’s enabler in Congress, Mary Peltola is choosing to let Biden’s Secretary of Open Borders off the hook for the disaster they have caused for every community. Peltola is not serious about securing our border,” said National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesperson Ben Petersen.
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody pointed out that the total Biden has spend on illegal immigrants is over $1 billion.
“Everyone should be waking up this morning outraged by that comment. This is not something that has just happened recently,” she said. “And Florida’s been warning about this since this administration took over. Mayorkas has come in like a virus and infected what need[s] to be healthy, strong, fundamental programs to ensure the stability and safety of Americans in times of disaster.”
