Which made republicans very uneasy cause of the "pork" so they voted it down.
So they took out the "pork" to have a stand alone border bill (the most conservative bill imaginable, you will never get a better one even if Trump is elected) which Trump shut down ("blame it on me") to run on it.
Now do you know what happened to the "pork"?
Ukraine - passed.
Israel - passed.
Taiwan - passed.
Disaster relief - voted down by republicans. Ofc.
If you wanna cry about FEMA being bankrupt (which is a lie anyways) please adress it to your party.
Its funny anyways how those anti gvmt ppl suddenly cry for socialism, what happened to pull yourself up by your bootstraps?

Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, Illegal Aliens, Yes, the Austrian and the Republicans both know that foreign influence has far too much sway in Washington. Though only the former gloats in the invasion. One hope: Trump.

Again, you try to hard to be witty and humorous Votanic. What a nerd/dork you are.
When a fascist calls others fascist...you already failed, lol.
Illegal invasion had to be treated like a FEMA program., because the Libs were/are deadset on treating it like the war-time military effort it should be. If Latin America, etc. can't manage to keep it's own citizens/residents in place then maybe those disfunctional pseudo-nations should just be sezed as U.S. Property. That's what we used to do, when we tried to teach them to grow tropical fruits at a scale suitable for international commerce. No, Chiquita Bananas can't solve all of their problems, ...but it was a good start.pmac666 wrote:Here we go.
Trump Actually Used FEMA Relief Money for Migrants
October 4, 2024 at 12:45 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 41 Comments
Washington Post: “Trump has been trying to weaponize the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, accusing the Biden administration of failing to provide adequate assistance. As part of his critique, he claims that there is no money available for hurricane relief because it was spent already to handle the surge of migrants at the southern border.”
“Trump’s claims have been echoed by his supporters, such as billionaire Elon Musk. But Trump is completely wrong.”
“Even though Trump was once president, he still appears to have little clue about the appropriations process. What’s even richer is that when he was president, he did exactly what he claims Biden did — take money from FEMA’s disaster fund to fund migrant programs at the southern border.”
Chairman Green on Secretary Mayorkas’ Claims About FEMA Funds: Biden-Harris Administration’s Priorities “Are Completely Backwards”
October 4, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) released the following statement after comments by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds to make it through the [hurricane] season.”
“The real story here is that the Biden-Harris administration has spurned the interests of the American people since day one, pushing for hundreds of millions of FEMA dollars every year, specifically for illegal immigrants,” Chairman Green said. “Last year, House Republicans eliminated this spending in the FY24 DHS appropriations bill, only for the Democrat-controlled Senate and White House to fight to add it back to the omnibus spending bill.
“This is an issue of priorities, and the Biden-Harris administration’s are completely backwards. It takes a lot of nerve for Secretary Mayorkas to ask for more money after he and his bosses in the White House fought for roughly $650 million just this year for the Shelter and Services Program. Under Biden and Harris’ leadership, our tax dollars are being used to help facilitate illegal immigration, while many American citizens are left to suffer following natural disasters.”
Background: Mayorkas’ comments came a week after the passage of a continuing resolution providing roughly $20 billion for FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund (DRF), which is used to fund the response to emergencies like Hurricane Helene. The day prior to Mayorkas’ comments, FEMA published an advisory stating that the infusion of funds from the continuing resolution allowed it to lift restrictions on funding thousands of projects across the country.
Last year, House Republicans zeroed out funding for EFSP-H and SSP—only for the Senate and White House to push back. In the most recent omnibus, roughly $650 million was directed away from CBP to FEMA to fund SSP.
The human tendency to believe what we want to be real
The human brain has a tendency to believe what we want to be real, even if it's not what's actually there. This is known as "expectation bias".

Their lying eyes:
The city has finalized a nearly $77 million emergency contract to shelter migrant families at 15 hotels in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, officials said Wednesday.
The hotels will reserve rooms for asylum-seeking families for up to 28 days under the contract with the Hotel Association of New York City, a spokesperson for the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development confirmed.
Rooms will be available through the month of July. The hotels are meant as a backup plan if space runs out at city shelters.
After 28 days, families who are still seeking shelter will be directed to the city’s Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers to receive another placement.
HPD’s spokesperson said the contract will give the city the time and space to negotiate future rates as officials continue to respond to the migrant crisis.
“New York City has led the nation in responding to this national humanitarian crisis, providing compassion, care, shelter, and vital services to more than 170,700 migrants who have come through our care since spring 2022,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Thanks to around-the clock work of city workers, we’ve ensured every single family with children has a bed to sleep in and a roof over their heads, while working to reduce costs and help people move out of shelter and stabilize their lives.”
(...)
The contract comes a little over a year after the Adams administration inked a $275 million deal with the same hotel association to house at least 5,000 migrants.
The mayor has repeatedly called on the federal government to provide more aid to New York City to help cover migrant-related costs.
The Biden administration last year allocated $140 million to New York to address the situation.
A state budget proposal Gov. Kathy Hochul unveiled earlier this month, meanwhile, includes $2.4 billion to house migrants without homes and help them apply for asylum or work.
