Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that FEMA is out of disaster funds. However, the DHS Inspector General released a report saying FEMA has $8.3 billion in untapped and unspent funds.
Mayorkas claimed he doesn’t have money to deal with another hurricane, as Hurricane Milton is barreling down on Florida.
Allegedly, FEMA can’t spend old appropriations, so the money sits frozen as 600 people are still missing from Hurricane Helene. At least 228 have died, and entire towns were wiped off the map.
The report of 600 people missing was first reported on October 1st, but Fox reported that number again on Monday. If it is still accurate, with $8 billion available, someone in this administration needs to go to prison.
According to Fox News, budget experts warn that FEMA is now a slush fund for the Biden-Harris administration to use at will.
Meanwhile, $73 billion in unliquidated funds remain open, and there are 8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations. The money could be returned to help people battling for survival and disasters now. The IG report agrees that seven billion-plus dollars in unliquidated funds could potentially be returned to the Disaster Relief Fund.
Extremely strong evidence indicates that the Biden-Harris administration uses FEMA as a slush fund for the border. It could be solved by sending the millions of foreigners home and stopping giving them benefits even our poor and veterans don’t enjoy.

This Disaster is Unpresidented in Scale; because a Hurricane usually only effects the costal areas that are Geographically Made for these Storms. Everyone made a BIG DEAL and JUMPED all… Read more »
Good grief, talk about mismanagement. If rules prevent previously allocated FEMA money from being spent it can be easily resolved by Congress. Given hurricane Helene is a declared emergency and now Milton most likely will be, Congress needs to act. Even if Congress is out of session, the President has the authority to call a special session of Congress to… Read more »
People die when Democrats lie.
Agree with all below me.
Rename this hurricane to Kamala. Because that’s what’s gonna happened to the whole country if she is installed.
Fire all the FEMA employees and lynch Mayorkas.
Problem solved.
That Cuban communist needs to hang!
