    “As Secretary Mayorkas said, FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters. The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA’s disaster-related authorities or funding streams.”

      You do know there are other possible hurricanes that could be a threat? Where is the money? Where is it? What if another hurricane hits?

        Where is the money? Where is it?

        You guys have been cutting taxes and giving corporate tax breaks for decades. Where do you think the money is? In the pockets of your donors.

        Take it out of the military budget. You know the largest single portion of the entire us budget, this is stupid trying to claim immigrants are taking up disaster relief money.
