Hurricane Helen caused significant damage to communities in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas in September. Since then, the pain and suffering of this natural disaster has been compounded by the Biden-Harris administration’s lackluster response. But to date, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has not accepted responsibility for that failure.
The authorities need to check the facts. And the American people deserve it, too.
The simple truth is that FEMA spending reflects the DEI agenda.
For example, FEMA deny Rumors of distributing aid based on demographic characteristics. But FEMA's own website says otherwise. The agency considers factors such as race, ethnicity and English proficiency when awarding aid. This reflects the Biden-Harris administration's insistence that “fairness” will be its guiding principle from its inception.
This is particularly pernicious in North Carolina, where FEMA's DEI-based formula takes race and minority status into account for “social sensitivity,” where race and minority status are key components of social sensitivity. National Risk Index Score. This score helps FEMA decide which areas to prioritize assistance to, and predominantly white areas can be at a significant disadvantage.
Consider a place like Buncombe County. At least 57 people died as a result of Hurricane Helen, the highest known death toll in a single county to date. However, because Buncombe County's population is nearly 90% white, its NRI score is “relatively low.” This may help explain why government aid does not arrive in a timely manner.
FEMA also claims it does not allocate funds to illegal aliens rather than American citizens. FEMA'sfact check” page states that “Disaster Relief Fund funds are not diverted to other non-disaster-related efforts.”
But this claim is at best a red herring. It does not address the main concern: that the government is subsidizing more than $1 billion to organizations that provide transportation and housing services to undocumented immigrants, rather than using that money for disaster relief. do not have. FEMA's efforts to evade the truth by citing technicalities about the fact that disaster relief and Illegal Alien Services grants are separate funds is shameful. Americans deserve better.
The simple truth is that FEMA spending reflects the DEI agenda. FEMA spent $1 billion on illegal alien services instead of disaster relief resources that could have alleviated the deadly effects of recent hurricanes.
In 2023, Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act. Allocate $350 million FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program – Humanitarian Assistance through Humanitarian Assistance. At that time, the administration Diverted resources and authorities from agencies responsible for combating illegal immigration, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The 2023 DHS Appropriations Act directed CBP to transfer $800 million in fiscal year 2023 funding to fund FEMA's EFSP-H program (renamed the Shelter Services Program). In fiscal year 2024, FEMA's SSP spent $650 million to support the transportation and housing of domestic illegal aliens through nongovernmental organizations.
Where is that money actually flowing? ESFP-H/SSP distribute funds Donations will be made to organizations that support illegal immigrants encountered by the Border Patrol, and the funds will pay for hotels and other accommodation costs.
The Biden-Harris administration specifically asked Congress to defund the ESFP-H program, even though the previous administration supported disbanding the ESFP-H program and recommended transferring budget authority from FEMA to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. requested.
The 2023 DHS Appropriations Act directed CBP to transfer $800 million in FY 2023 funding to fund FEMA's EFSP-H program as it transitions to the new shelter services program. In fiscal year 2024, FEMA's SSP set aside $650 million to fund the transportation and housing of domestic illegal aliens through nonprofit organizations.
While illegal aliens are benefiting from this system, Americans are also suffering, and not just in recent hurricanes. For example, the current administration has allocated more FEMA funds to illegal aliens than to recovery efforts on Maui after last year's wildfire disaster.
white house boasted About sending $330 million in federal grants and disaster loans to Maui to help Maui recover from a series of devastating wildfires. However, these fires killed at least 100 people and caused an estimated $14 billion to $16 billion in damage. According to AccuWeather.
By contrast, President Biden and Kamala Harris have earmarked more than $1 billion for illegal aliens in fiscal year 2023-2024 alone, revealing the administration's priorities.
At every turn, Biden and Harris have used FEMA to facilitate large-scale illegal immigration rather than prepare FEMA to fulfill its original mission of disaster response.
This is not surprising. FEMA's strategic plan reflects the DEI agenda that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have made central to their administration.
The agency's overarching goal of “equity as a foundation for emergency management'' has benefited illegal aliens entering our country more than Americans suffering from historic natural disasters.
