"FEMA also been accused by former presidentĀ Donald Trump, theĀ RepublicanĀ nominee, and otherĀ RepublicansĀ of not being able to respond well enough to Helene because it had diverted disaster relief funds to help migrants.
That is not true, because while FEMA administers the Shelter and Services Program, funding for it comes from a separate pot of money funded byĀ CongressĀ for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Other false claims that have circulated include that people taking federal relief money could see their land seized or that that $750 is the most they will ever get to rebuild. FEMA has pushed back against the false claims and conspiracy theories, setting up a page on its website to combat misinformation and rumors."
I pointed out to someone that the SSP money for helping migrants was separate from the billions in the FEMA budget.
The response I got?
'I donāt give a shit. We shouldnāt be spending any FEMA money on illegals and should be helping Americans instead."
They donāt listen. They donāt care. They donāt want to know.
