Mayorkas: FEMA Lacks Funds for Hurricane Season, Allocates $750 to Helene Victims in Georgia
Oct 3, 2024, 11:45 AM
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have sufficient funds to cover the remainder of the hurricane season. This announcement comes as FEMA has been providing $750 in aid for immediate needs to victims of Hurricane Helene in Georgia. Mayorkas highlighted that extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity, further straining FEMA's resources. The Biden-Harris administration has faced criticism for allocating significant funds to foreign aid and services for illegal immigrants, which some argue has contributed to FEMA's current financial shortfall. FEMA has reportedly spent over $1 billion, including $640 million this year, on housing and services for illegal immigrants, which has sparked outrage among those who believe these funds should have been reserved for American disaster relief.
