Despite what some may say, FEMA money is being used to help illegal immigrants. The people responsible for this might not be who you expect.
From Just the News. In the midst of the last major budget crisis in Washington, Democrats diverted money and the legal authority to put the nation’s disaster relief agency into the business of caring for the millions of illegal immigrants who crossed the border on the Biden-Harris administration’s watch. And now both parties seem to be trying to obfuscate the truth.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
White House spokeswoman Karine-Jean Pierre took the lead in trying to suggest it was a “conspiracy theory” to suggest the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was using its resources to aid illegal aliens. Republicans countered with surprise and shock that FEMA had routed $640.9 million in grants to nonprofits aiding immigrants, many of whom have crossed into the U.S. illegally.
But the truth is both parties signed off on a budget deal earlier this year that increased funding for the new mission authorized in 2023 for FEMA, which is now reeling from a double-barreled hurricane crisis that has led to frustration over alleged missteps by the agency as millions of stranded and needy Americans in the Southeast await help.
“FEMA, as well as this whole Biden administration has is here to protect Americans, our citizens, and hurricane Helene has put a tremendous burden on us, but, get this, follow these funds that have been directed at anything but Americans: $110 million in FEMA funds went to the emergency food and shelter program to assist migrants,” Congressman Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told the “Just the News, No Noise“ TV show Monday. …
FEMA has disputed the Republican characterizations in recent days that disaster relief money was diverted to fund illegal immigrants, instead pointing out that Congress appropriated funding for the immigrant programs separately during the budget process.
“This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts,” FEMA said in its Hurricane Helene Frequently Asked Questions page. …
A Democrat-run Congress [in 2022] created the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) was to replace a similar program formerly run by DHS, which was directed to transfer $800 million of its appropriations in 2023 to the emergency management department. Though FEMA is a subagency of DHS, it represented a transfer of the core responsibility for illegal and legal immigrant support to the agency dedicated to disaster relief. …
By 2024, the program was well established at the agency when Republicans and Democrats alike voted to fund it to the tune of $650 million with the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024—a minibus bill passed by the House and Senate in March, both with significant Republican support, and sent to President Joe Biden’s desk.
Now, Republicans have placed the program under a spotlight after widespread flooding and damage from Hurricane Helene left several southeastern regions devastated and tens of thousands of citizens without basic resources. But, so far, few who originally supported the bill have owned up to their role in passing the budget stopgaps last year funding the very programs being placed under the spotlight. …

We live in mass offensive action of deception – the rinos and demoncrats are deplorable. Mitch McConnell is incorrigible, not providing funds to conservative republicans in this election cycle.
They mince language and manipulate the laws like there is no tomorrow.
In Isaiah one of the chapters speaks about all the corruption in the courts and equity cannot enter in.
The funding should be for legal immigrants not illegal immigrants. They are twisting the purpose of the program. You do not fund illegals so they can stay here using taxpayer money. That is not the purpose of the law. I AM SURE WHEN REPUBLICANS SIGNED IT, IT IS MEANT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS NOT FOR WELFARE, OR HOUSING OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
I would like to have the names of all who voted for the insanity of spending money for illegals. Speaker Johnson should never have let it get out of the house of representatives. I don’t trust his judgement. We have very few true conservatives in congress that actually care about American citizens. We have democrats who I refer to as demoncrats they admit to being socialists which goes against God’s ways, then there are republicans who are actually democrats but would not get elected as a democrat so ran as a republican thus rino. There is too much lying and hatred in congress and I pray that God remove from office those who do not follow God. Trust in God that His will be done. 🙏😇🙏
FATHER GOD, please expose every representative, congressman, congresswoman, that received kickbacks from the illegally funneled money to the illegals! Let this information be known immediately and let these people be prosecuted and charged with treason for endangering our country’s citizens in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! Amen!
LORD GOD
TREASON HAS BEEN COMMITTED AGAINS AMERICA BY IT’S OWN ELECTED LEADERS. PLEASE PUNISH THEM IS THE MOST DRAMATIC AND VICIBLE WAY POSSIBLE. SO THAT OTHER TRAITORS SIMPLY STOP AND LEAVE.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Homeless people in our country including many veterans have suffered from fa failing government that promises assistance to housing and yet these millions of Illegals are being given housing vouchers , $2 thousand dollars a month as well as voting rights that are not legal, all for the sake of taking our tax dollars to fund the 2024 Election!
God please stop the wicked plans of these ungodly Senators, Representatives and those Democrats who will do anything to win! This is Not your plan for our United States of America 🙏
I believe the Rinos in the Republican Party knew exactly what they were doing with FEMA and funneling money to the illegal immigrants… no self respecting person would ever take money away from American needs first.
I grieve over the financial mismanagement of the current administration and Congress, and the border crisis, and numerous things – but my focus is on the fact that this is a great opportunity for God’s people to do what they were called to do – to care for the poor and needy. Perhaps this is God’s way of rebuking us for trusting government to do what He told us to do. Are we investing in what He prioritizes – which is people – not buildings, and other such things?
I have often felt this way as the churches stand empty most of the week.
It’s sad A few Republicans didn’t even know they voted for
This because NO ONE ever reads these bills. This has to stop. Pray for our legislators to have the boldness to reduce the size and scope of bills so not only they can read them fully before voting. And we can read them and call before they vote and our voices can be heard
How do I/we receive the information on who wrote, who compromised and the roll call vote for the “Shelter and Service Program” and the other misnamed, felonious appropriations act? Where is the true, unredacted info
found?
While there are American citizens, families busting their butts to make ends meet, Veterans, elderly, children – there are politicians stealing monies in astronomical amounts to give to this and God only knows other leftist camps.
Yahweh, Yahshua, Holy Spirit: You opened the blind man’s eyes: open the eyes of the American public. Open them with the knowledge of what has happened and what is happening in this country. Then… give them wisdom and courage to take the steps to change it and change those who continue to perpetuate this evil.
In Yahshua’s Name . Amen
