The devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on America’s most vulnerable citizens has broken hearts nationwide—but the Biden-Harris administration is claiming it can’t relieve their suffering, because it is broke.
The federal agency that is supposed to be restoring American citizens is absolutely tapped out, according to administration officials.
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is running out of money.
“We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season,” Mayorkas announced after Hurricane Helene.
But the administration had plenty of money to spend on foreigners in Ukraine, the Middle East, and illegal aliens living in places like Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado.
“FEMA has run out of money for the rest of hurricane season because Kamala Harris used the funds for free giveaways to illegal immigrants,” said a statement from national Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “This is inexcusable and yet another example of Kamala Harris putting Americans LAST!”
How much has FEMA spent on illegals? More than a billion dollars in the last two years alone.
FEMA set aside $364 million in the 2023 fiscal year and $650 million for fiscal year 2024, which ended on September 30…for one program serving illegal immigrants alone.
FEMA’s “Shelter and Services Program” is there “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government agency’s website.
U.S. law requires the federal government to deport every individual who enters the United States without legal authorization—a number that has exceeded 10 million illegal aliens over the last four years, without counting
If the law requires the government to deport illegal aliens, shouldn’t their home country foot the bill for noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security”?
All in all, FEMA has spent more than $1.4 billion on illegal aliens—which the administration insists on calling “undocumented migrants,” or just “migrants”—since 2022, according to the New York Post.
But it’s not just that the government has spent your tax dollars on illegals at home.
The Biden-Harris administration has been so committed to giving American’s money away to foreigners that, when illegal aliens don’t come to our shores to claim our funds, the Democrats go overseas to seek them out.
The U.S. government has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, Israel, and every other country on the globe without running short on cash.
But when Americans needed help after a hurricane, Kamala Harris said they were eligible for the whopping amount of $750.
“How is the US GOVERNMENT running out of money for Hurricane Helene victims?!” asked talk radio host Glenn Beck.
“They were able to find $63.1 BILLION and counting for Ukraine. FEMA spent over a BILLION on illegal immigrants. But the Americans in Appalachia? $750 bucks.”
“We are paying for their Social Security in Ukraine!” he said.
“THIS IS AN INSULT!” he said.

The $750 allotment announcement came one week after Joe Biden announced a brand new, $2.4 billion aid package to Ukraine.
But American taxpayer dollars aren’t just diverted away from U.S. citizens to Kyiv and Kharkhiv. That would be far too limiting.
Democrats in Washington spent “$230,000,000 to build a pier in Gaza that lasted 20 days,” said one social media commentator, but only “$750 for Americans who lost everything to Hurricane Helene.”

Somehow, Mayorkas claims that, when Americans come knocking, the cupboard is bare—despite the fact that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., just passed an extra $20 million in hurricane funding through Congress just last week.
Doesn’t that make their stony-hearted reaction to U.S. citizens a choice?
Prioritizing foreign nationals over decimated Americans who watched their houses float down the river on raging, churning flood waters is “the very definition of AMERICA LAST,” said Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas.
Biden and Harris can send hundreds of billions to the Ukraine.
Spend hundreds of millions on illegal immigrants.
But then offer $750 to Helene victims.

Democrats have long signaled that they view the illegal immigrant population as their ticket to permanent power. But the citizens of Appalachia in general, and western North Carolina in particular, hold the key to saving America from their evil designs.
The hurricane victims live in an area that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump and other registered Republicans in one of just seven swing states.
Is Kamala Harris starving her political opponents before the election?
Maybe voting against Kamala Harris and her entire administration is another form of hurricane relief.
