A few Salient Points that were neatly obfuscated by the author:

1) What Mayorkas and the Administration are loosely defining as migrants are actually illegal aliens or or refugees who NEVER should have been allowed to claim asylum if vetted properly in the first place…this is just another Scam like flying & busing illegals around the US to primarily Red States by Biden & Mayorkas.

2) Since Biden and Mayorkas have Lied about the state of the border, number of illegals flowing into the US, the criminals crossing the border and the massive amount of drugs entering the country & killing our citizens…why would you trust them with more money when they have grossly mis-spent the money they were allocated?

The immigrants are the politicians "scapegoats" when they can't admit any wrong doing.🤫

If Fema didn't spend almost a billion on illegal aliens we would have plenty of money. There is no excuse for putting foreigners before Americans

My north carolina senator who declined fema funding for this exact storm, wants to be very clear that the failure of fema funding is a direct result of immigration issues 4 states away. I shit you not.

Well it is. There would be plenty of money for actually Americans if it wasn't for the waste. Just sent 160 million to Lebanon. There's no excuse for the inaptness

Thank you. How do we get this information out to the widest possible readers if the media is awol? Your readers maybe can forward your letters to others and ask them to do the same. The lies and misinformation are stunning!

If you'd read my article instead of spewing racist ignorance, you wouldn't have made that comment in the first place.

A bit off the subject, but a MAGA friend told me the other day that Mexicans are the ones causing problems by bringing crime, drugs and overpopulation because they don’t do anything but breed. I said I’m of those people, but her argument was stunning.😖. Magats don’t care about facts. Facts are boring and can’t fulfill their hate laden fantasies.

They don't at all care about facts. I have a post coming soon on IG that debunks these anti-immigrant myths.

FEMA running out of money is going to be a regular thing now, because climate change could really give a shit whether or not you believe in it. It’s going to bend you over either way. Sure would have been a lot smarter to do something about this back when it was still possible, huh?

We actually made a few baby steps back during Jimmy Carter’s term - he even had solar panels installed on the White House. Then that sonofabitch Reagan got in and had the solar panels TORN DOWN. That stupid asshole threw away free power because he thought it was some hippie shit. It’s not a coincidence the SUV craze started during Reagan’s term.

This is the Republicans’usual pattern-ruin something good, then blame what they’ve ruined for being awful. Public education, for another example. Dangerously cynical.

And the lame MSM certainly won’t inform their readers what a sorry Congress we have that have failed to properly fund FEMA! Vote Blue!💙

In fact, FEMA is NOT lacking funds at all. They are fully funded and ready, willing, and able to provide assistance for those in need from this most recent hurricane in Florida, contrary to Republican's, intentionally deceitful propaganda. Disgusting! Shameful. Reach out to disasterassitance.gov. Or, call 1-800-621-FEMA if you need assistance.

Those of us who read Mayorkas’ full statement know this, but not the edited-for-unclarity excerpts in the NY Post. Secretary Mayorkas did say there might be a shortfall later in the season if another big event struck…which is not unlikely.

You’re right. Basic civics would tell you the funding issue is a Congressional one. Not an immigrant or Biden/Harris issue. Articles like the Post are so infuriating.

The on-purpose Republican-made problem is that kids do not get to learn critical thinking in school, and are leavingschool as a mature adult who has the capability (and also willingness) to question everything. It is all done on purpose. All!

I am not stupid but are you confessing to something? The House does in fact have the purse strings. Every House budget bill has been passed by the Senate. The GOP led House has been the blockade to more budgeting for FEMA. My statement is true. Your attempted rebuttal is uninformed. You have no point.

Those are different programs with separate budgets. The emergency relief being supplied to WNC is not depleted nor drawn on by the program used for migrant housing even though they both have the word “relief” in their names.

For every $1 spent on undocumented immigrants, they pay at least $100 in federal taxes. You go ahead and return to them $100 in taxes, and they'll return $1. In the meantime, you can take your ignorance elsewhere.
