Feds say there's no money left to respond to hurricanes after FEMA spent $1.4B on migrants | 3 Oct 2024 | Homeland Security Secretary [and Grade "A" sociopath] Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "does not have the funds" to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season -- after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis... Over two years, more than $1.4 billion has been committed from FEMA-administered programs to support non-federal entities that are taking care of migrants. DHS allocated $780 million for the migrant crisis last year through the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which funds relief not associated with natural disasters, and the FEMA Shelter and Services Program, which was authorized in late 2022 by Congress to respond to the migrant crisis.  The $640.9 million spent this year comes solely from the Shelter and Services Program.
